Deer Hollow

This delightful loft cabin is set in the trees and has an extra window that looks up the “hollow” or “draw” as we call it in these parts. One may catch a glimpse of deer and, on a rare occasion, elk heading for the open meadow in the morning or early evening.

Timber Haus

This cozy and enchanting loft cabin sits up on a large outcropping of natural granite rock. It gives one the feel of being in a tree house. The cabin overlooks the center of the meadow where deer and, sometimes, a rafter of turkeys congregate.

Meadow Song

This attractive log cabin is situated at the top of the meadow and affords a dramatic view “down valley.” In days gone by, one could observe cattle grazing in the distance. Because this cabin's footprint is a little different than the other loft cabins, it has a slightly larger kitchen and dining area.

Trails End

This charming Black Hills loft cabin has a redwood deck on the front that looks across the meadow and up the “draw” — a popular path for deer in the mornings and early evenings. It also has a second redwood deck on the back of the cabin that overlooks the popular Mickelson Hiking and Biking Trail. At various times of the year, one may be “serenaded” by frogs gathered around the spring below.

Harney View

Our appealing two-bedroom, single-story log cabin sits on a knoll at the top of the meadow and has a terrific view of Black Elk Peak (formerly Harney Peak), a sacred site for the Lakota, and one of the most coveted views in the Black Hills. A picturesque hideaway year-round — in warmer months, one can sit on the porch and hear the whistle of the 1880 Train in the distance.

Grandma's Ranch House

A much-beloved addition to our lodging accommodations is also our oldest.

Backed by quaking aspen and set beside Newton Fork Creek with its own private yard.

Postmaster's House

The latest addition to our ranch accommodations — a charming, warm, and inviting two-bedroom country home on the southern edge of the property. Our only rental that offers WIFI and a large flat-screen television with surround sound. Features a wood-burning fireplace, a roomy kitchen with granite countertops, and a bathroom with a large bathtub and separate shower. Once home to Hill City's postmaster in the 1950s, it has since been lovingly remodeled. Front and back porches are perfect for deer and bird watching, with the creek and Mickelson Trail just steps away.

Original Badger Hole

The historic “Original Badger Hole” — once home to Charles “Badger” Clark (1883–1957), South Dakota's first poet laureate and a pioneer of cowboy poetry whose work has been recorded by Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, and countless others. Lovingly restored, this one-room cabin is charmingly furnished in a western theme and features an environmentally friendly composting toilet in a period-style outhouse, a wood-burning pot-bellied stove for heat, and old-fashioned wall-mounted oil lamps for evening light. A truly romantic and unique experience for those who wish to "turn back the clock" or try "off the grid" living.
