Secluded Black Hills Log Cabin With Stunning Views

Secluded Log Cabin Retreat | 5 Acres + Stunning Long Views

Escape to Mountain Crest, a quiet mountaintop retreat designed for guests who value privacy, nature, and a true getaway experience. Set on five secluded acres, this authentic log cabin offers sweeping panoramic views—up to 100 miles on clear days.

What You’ll Love
• Total seclusion on private acreage
• Expansive long-range mountain views
• Cozy, authentic log cabin atmosphere
• Wildlife sightings right outside your door
• WiFi + Satellite TV (when you want to reconnect)

A Different Kind of Stay
This is not a resort or a polished luxury rental—it’s a genuine retreat. We’re a family sharing a place we love, kept intentionally natural. Instead of manicured lawns, you’ll find open mountain terrain where deer, birds, and other wildlife roam freely.

To help preserve the peaceful environment and protect the wildlife, hunting and the use of firearms are not permitted on the property.

Inside the Cabin
The interior is warm and inviting, with massive log construction that creates a cozy, grounded feel. It’s an ideal space for a romantic getaway or uninterrupted time with family—simple, comfortable, and intentionally removed from the noise of everyday life.

Seasonal Access (Important)
Winter brings incredible beauty—but also real conditions. A high-clearance 4WD vehicle is strongly recommended, and tire chains may be needed depending on weather. The gravel access road helps preserve the privacy and setting, but it is not suitable for motorcycles.

Why Guests Choose Mountain Crest
Guests don’t come here for luxury finishes—they come for the stillness, the views, and the feeling of having a mountain to themselves.

If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll feel right at home here.
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
This smoke-free cabin features games, a video library, and snowboarding nearby. Recreational activities include hiking/biking trails nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Exactly what we wanted for the weekend. Pet friendly, quiet, fantastic outdoor space and had anything we could have needed. Stairs inside the cabin were too tricky for the dog, but the host was great and told us all of that in advance. The stairs did not hinder how awesome this cabin was and it is very well maintained. Would 100% stay again!

We enjoyed our stay, very secluded and peaceful location. It was super well stocked to stay entertained while spending the full day there, tons of games, DVDs, and kitchen ware. We loved our nightly fire pits chilling with a friendly family of chipmunks.

Thanksgiving Hideaway

Our family wanted to get away for the long weekend over Thanksgiving and the Mountain Crest to be a great place to do it. Our early morning walks spotted plenty of wildlife and the sunsets were awesome. Mountain Crest was our base camp as we enjoyed Custer State Park and a day at Devils Tower. What a great stay.
