Centrally Located near everything the Black Hills has to offer! Open year round!

These 13 cabins are centrally located to everything the Black Hills has to offer!

We are just 2 miles from Pactola lake, located along Hwy 385, pavement the entire way with only a short gravel drive to the cabins.

Our cabins are modern and have tasteful finishes. Decorated in the genre of wildlife, Black Hills history and Native American traditions of the local area. We have used locally sourced materials in our building as well as highlighting local artists in our decor. Each master bed is covered with an authentic handmade Native American star quilt. All cabins have heating and air conditioning.

Spend your days visiting historic landmarks, quaint Hills towns, or parks and lakes, then come back to your cabin to rest and relax by our large campfire site. As you sit out and enjoy the campfire, you can see the stars with no light pollution. Depending on the time of year you can hear the owls calling to one another, hear the singing of the coyotes, the bugling of the elk, or listen to the turkey as they get ready to roost. Our cabins help you to enjoy the action-packed days of your vacation even more by giving you a place to come and relax and enjoy nature at the end of your day.

Our cabin specifics are:
320sqft studio cabin w/loft.
Naturally well-lit, spacious open floor plan, 3 beds/1 bath.

Main floor has 1 plush high quality queen bed and linens, small table and 4 chairs, and a smart tv with Blu-ray player and DVDs.

Deer Creek Homestead operates on 6 acres just a short walk from the cabins. If you are interested in any of the animals or workings of a small hobby farm, please ask! Tours are available most evenings.

For your convivence we offer 7lb bags of ice, farm goods, and a variety of frozen foods for purchase in case you need something to snack on in a pinch and don't want to run into town. We can also deliver beer to your cabin with proper ID.

The cabin was quaint and clean! We didn’t spend a ton of time in the cabin or on site as we went out to do “tourist trap activities” with the kids, but it was comfortable when we did return to the cabin for meals and sleep. My kids (ages 15m and nearly 3yr) had a blast in the loft! The stairs were a tad narrow, but otherwise we had no issues. 3 The highlight of our time at the cabin was each morning we looked out the window to see a small herd of goats in the driveway! That was exciting for both the kids and us parents. lol! They were fairly tame and allowed the kids to pet them while they grazed. If we ever need to rent a cabin in the Hills again we will try to get a reservation here!

Best

By far the best VRBO we have stayed at. Everything was perfect. The cabin is centrally located, quiet, and cozy. Sarah was very attentive and helpful. 3 days in South Dakota wasn’t long enough. The best sleep I’ve had in years. If I could give 10/10 I would.

Excellent Adventure

What an amazing experience we had during our stay! Even with the road construction and closure, we were able to experience the area in a whole new light! But no matter what adventure we were going on, what hike or lake we were by, my 8 year old would only ask “when are we going back to the cabin?!” … the homey feeling the cabin provided plus the joy of the animals outside made it her favorite thing about our trip! Thank you for such a wonderful trip!

Don’t let the road construction scare you away!

We rode our motorcycles from New Mexico to experience the Black Hills during the annual Sturgis rally. This location is perfect and centrally located for exploring all of the routes and loops without being in town. Kitchen was perfect for cooking dinners and well stocked with the basics. Lots of other great touches - snacks, toiletries, etc. Clean, quiet and loved watching the goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits and more. Don’t let the construction scare you away - wonderful hosts and we highly recommend.

Excellent, remote location! Fun for kids!

My husband and I, and our two children, loved this property and cabin! It's a quiet location in the country of the Black Hills, and very peaceful. There were goats the kids could pet as well as a few cats. They had fun trying to catch the pet bunnies but never succeeded! We wish we would have had more time here! The cabin was very clean and cozy, and the kitchen was very well stocked with supplies. Would highly recommend this property for anyone that doesn't want to stay in town and wants the peace and serenity that this location has to offer.

The cabin was very clean and comfortable! It was great to be able to watch tv in the evening! To no fault of the owner, we had unwanted visitors such as stink bugs and flies inside the cabin! We also enjoyed seeing the goats come to visit us. Had problem checking in as Vrbo sent us emai stating owner had a message but Vrbo app showed no message. We got owner’s number from a neighbor next to our cabin!
