Badlands Cabin at the Maah Daah Hey Trailhead, 5 Min to TRNP & TR Library

Modern 3-bedroom, 3-bath cabin with the Maah Daah Hey trailhead at the back patio and Rough Rider State Park a two-minute walk away. Five minutes to Medora, Bully Pulpit Golf Course, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Sleeps 10 in beds for 12: two queen suites on the main floor, eight twins upstairs. Blackstone griddle, fire pit, camper pad with 220 hookup, high-speed internet, A/C in every room and heated floors.

We built the Radlander ourselves after a bike ride on the Maah Daah Hey turned into "what if we had a cabin right here." It sits at the "Deuce" trailhead, so you walk off the patio and onto 150 miles of singletrack. Half a mile up the trail you're on top of the buttes looking down at the Little Missouri; a mile in you're above Bully Pulpit Golf Course.

The cabin: open kitchen, dining and living area with big windows facing the Badlands, polished concrete floors with in-floor heat, and a mini-split in every room for summer. Two queen bedrooms on the main floor each have their own patio and a full bath. Upstairs is a bunk room with four twins and a loft with four built-in twins, a sectional and a TV. The kitchen has a gas range, dishwasher, ice maker and dinnerware for 12. Out back: a 36-inch Blackstone griddle, a fire pit with patio furniture, and the trail.

Getting around: Rough Rider State Park (formerly Sully Creek) is a two-minute walk for river access and horse trails. Downtown Medora, the Medora Musical (June–September), Bully Pulpit, the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (opened July 2026) are all under ten minutes by car. Dickinson and the regional airport are 35 minutes east.

Bring a camper? There's a camper pad with a 220 plug on the north side of the garage. Dog-friendly with approval (one dog). Guests have the whole cabin except the garage.

We send a personal door code and a digital welcome guide three days before check-in, with directions, WiFi, house details and our local picks for eating and exploring.
