Mountain Crest: Seclusion and Serenity Await at Our Rustic Mountain Hideaway

Embracing the Seasons:

Prepare for an unforgettable mountain retreat at our rustic cabin, where every season brings its own enchantment. Nestled atop a scenic mountain, this cozy hideaway promises both tranquility and adventure, far from the luxuries of a fancy hotel.

During winter, our mountaintop oasis transforms into a snowy wonderland, offering a magical setting for your getaway. With snow and ice adding a touch of winter charm, we recommend guests come prepared. Opt for a high-clearance 4WD vehicle or equip your ride with light tire chains for added traction. Please note that the gravel road leading to the cabin is not suitable for motorcycles, but it ensures the seclusion and serenity of your stay.

Crafted from authentic logs, Mountain Crest exudes rustic charm, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by natural beauty. We’re not career hosts—just a family who loves sharing our home with others. We’ve kept it as a sanctuary for both guests and wildlife, creating a pollutant-free environment where deer, birds, and other creatures roam freely.

Embracing the natural flora, we forgo a manicured lawn in favor of preserving the mountain's wild beauty. Tucked away on five acres of secluded mountaintop terrain, our cabin provides the perfect blend of serenity and essential comforts. Enjoy free WiFi and Satellite TV while taking in breathtaking panoramic views stretching up to 100 miles.

Inside, you'll find a cozy haven where every detail invites relaxation. The massive logs that frame the cabin create an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy, making it an ideal spot for a romantic getaway or quality time with loved ones.

Mountain Crest is more than just a cabin—it’s a sanctuary where nature, family, and cherished memories come together. Experience the magic of Mountain Crest, where rustic living, wildlife, and the beauty of every season harmoniously converge.

2nd Year with Amazing Privacy

The hosts recently updated an already spacious log home. It is a quiet hideaway with virtually zero traffic. This has been our 2nd spring trip there and it was even better than last year with the updated. Great rental!

Fabulous!

This property was fantastic! It was a real nature retreat, we did not hear any traffic, only birds and nature. A few mornings I saw deer on the property, and so many birds! The peace was exactly what we had hoped for. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals and relax. We will definitely be back!

Nice and relaxing!

My family and I have stayed in many VRBO's, and this is probably the most well stocked place we stayed in if you are wanting to do any cooking or grilling. Clean, and pretty secluded.

Perfect Mountain Top Stay

We loved this place! Kitchen was fully stocked with any itmes that we needed. It was sunny and welcoming. Our bed was super comfy and we were able to catch up on our roadtrip laundry. The best part was the firepit and mountain top view - FANTASTIC!

Wonderful Property

We had an amazing stay at Mountain Crest! It was clean, well kept, and had amazing views. The drive to the property was scenic, but was close enough to Lead if we needed anything, but also close to all the hiking trails. We go to the Black Hills every year, and will be looking to rebook this place next year!

Great property!

If you want something close to Deadwood, but far enough away to feel secluded - this is the place! Beautiful property about 15-20 minutes from downtown Deadwood. Easy drive to town. Loved the balcony off the bedroom - great place to have coffee and enjoy the view!

Excellent Retreat

Beautiful setting and has everything you need for a remote woodsy getaway with a fantastic view. The cabin was just as described, very clean and well maintained. We arrived the day of a winter storm warning and the cabin with all the features kept us extremely comfortable, happy, and warm. The roads to the cabin were very well maintained.

Stress Free

We have a great time at the cabin. It felt like we were alone on thousands of acres which was so peaceful. The accommodations were as described except they did not mention they had a black stone grill, which we used for smash burgers. Great location for all the attractions but far away from the crowds. We highly recommend.

Family Vacation

It awas a great family getaway!! Loved the aserenity the cabin gave us while we traveled as a family with our 2 dogs. The cabin gave us the serenity of the Black Hills but allowed us to be close to hiking and other attractions to participate in. Will definitely choose to return if in the area!
