Retreat in the clouds.

An amazing cabin, high on the ledge of the mountain. Note: the drive up to this cabin is very steep, 4-wheel drive is helpful. The view is spectacular, but we enjoyed the star filled night sky the most. Cabin is clean and well stocked. We cooked in every night and enjoyed the kitchen and outdoor grill.

Stunning property

This property was just as promised. The location was unbeatable, and the views were stupendous. It was right in the heart of Spearfish Canyon, so everything we wanted was nearby. The lodge itself was beautifully furnished and had every possible comfort. Greg was incredibly helpful and easy to reach. We only wish our schedules would have allowed us to stay longer.

My wife and I loved our stay in Spearfish Canyon - surely one of the most beautiful places on earth. She said it was like staying in a cathedral, surrounded as we were by the canyon walls and forest. Thank you, Greg, for a wonderful visit to the Black Hills area. Your home is beyond words.

Lovely cabin in a gorgeous place

Greg’s place is right in Spearfish Canyon, so the location is perfect for climbing, mountain biking, swimming, fishing—pretty much whatever you want to do. Blue Sky and Mohican are within walking distance; lots of trails are within biking distance. The cabin is very clean and well-kept. If you’re coming to Spearfish Canyon, this is the place to stay.
