Fortunately, some of the most beautiful places on earth can be experienced without the cost and responsibility of actually owning them. Red Canyon Ranch in the Black Hills is no exception. Situated high atop the Black Hills historic red-limestone and sandstone canyon, the location of the original route into the Hills for both Native Americans and the white settlers that followed, Red Canyon Ranch is a monument to the cowboy lifestyle, with elements of luxury and style that most cowboys have probably never seen. The cabin is a lodge-pole pine dwelling, in the tradition of an aged lodge. The cabin sits on 110 private acres and offers full views of Red Canyon from three sides, rustic floors and cabinetry with natural dry-stack, slate fireplace in the living room, and master bedroom, and sleeping accommodations for 6 people. An outdoor hot tub that nearly floats above the canyon’s edge makes soaking under the stars a life time memory.

On a clear day, Red Canyon offers extraordinary views to its east, where sheer red walls accentuate the awesome powers that went into its creation, as well as the intricacies of its meandering path. To the south, across the canyon, the dense clustering of centuries-old Ponderosa pine easily explains how the area came to be known as the “Black” Hills . To the west, the canyon continues with steep rock walls, dramatic outcroppings and a long distance view to Wyoming.

You'll Love Our Neighbors: Red Canyon is home to one of the most diverse wildlife populations in the Black Hills. Elk, Antelope, Mule Deer, Eagles, Mountain Lions, Bobcats and Turkeys.

Explore The Best Part Of The Black Hills: The southern Black Hills holds something for everyone and every taste. Nestled among the rolling hills are quaint towns offering shopping, dining, and tourist attractions that could easily fill your day with smiles. The area also hosts some of the country’s most beautiful parks and well-known monuments, all within a short and scenic drive from each other.

At the Founder's Cabin, you'll have thousands of acres to explore whether hiking or horseback riding across this historic property.

    Red Canyon...amazing. This property sits directly on the rim!! It's so well appropriated! It IS very remote. Plan beautiful meals al fresco...the patio/outdoor kitchen is so much better than anywhere you'll eat in the Hills. The views are breathtaking and wild life incredible.

    The cabin at the edge of solitude where the air is fresh and the stars are bright surpassed our wildest dreams. It was absolutely gorgeous! The gardens, the canyon, the hot tub, the wildlife, the beautiful artwork in the cabin, and so very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was outfitted with pretty much everything you need. Only thing to be aware of is that Custer and a grocery store is about 45 minutes away, but if you plan ahead it's not a problem.And our hosts were FABULOUS! Very responsive and helpful. Our vacation was a delight and wished we could have stayed longer.

    This property is truly special and an incredible opportunity to have serenity. The hot tub at the edge of the canyon is so unique and special. The grilling station, picnic table, and deck are all first class. The home has been stocked with all of the necessary amenities. The dining room table is wonderful to enjoy the view while enjoying a meal. The stars on a clear night fill the sky with very little distractions. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys nature, privacy, and doesn't mind a long ride on a dirt road.

    Our group really enjoyed staying at Lori’s cabin. You are literally away from it all at this remote cabin. The cabin is very well stocked, and uniquely decorated. Everyday, I was seeing some other detail that made me smile. The views from the cabin are outstanding as you are right at the edge of the canyon. We enjoyed the hot tub and grilled on the high quality outdoor grill. Lori was very responsive answering our questions. The weather was nice enough for us to hike down into the canyon following the supplied directions. I highly recommend staying here!

    Cabin was everything we had hoped it would be. The view of the canyon through the big windows were awesome. The stars seemed extra bright out there, especially from the hot tub! The only minor point is the size of the bathroom. It was a little tight for two people. Other than that, we will definitely stay here again!

    What a beautiful location. We enjoyed meandering around the property and hiking to the bottom of the canyon several times. The views are just spectacular, sunrise to sunset. Tall timbers, whispering winds, owls hooting goodnight, and coyote howls greeting us in the morning. Solitude at it's finest.Thanks for sharing your piece of nature with us. We didn't want to leave, and we will be back!

Steps to the loft are steep and bathroom toliet area is a little tight, but other than that the cabin was amazing.If you are looking for a tranquil setting that is maintained to perfection then you need to book this cabin.Thank you Lori for a wonderful stay.

    This cottage is simply amazing. I went to South Dakota for the Sturgis motorcycle rally but was so captivated with the tranquility and views that I spent most of the vacation relaxing at the cottage. Waking up with 5 deer just outside the door to all of natures creatures and views surrounding me, I didn't want to leave. I couldn't have imagined anything more stunning. Thank you Lori!

    Within minutes of viewing the listing, my fiancé and I decided to stay here for our honeymoon, and we were not disappointed!The pictures do not do the view justice. I have seen some beautiful places in the Midwest, and have traveled a fair bit, and this was the most beautiful location I’ve ever stayed! We marveled at the scenery, the quiet, the peace, the stars, the detachment from busy life, the attention to detail of the home, the coziness of the surroundings, the opportunity to be in and walk through nature and the wildlife we witnessed. We were bird watching everyday, and really enjoyed the hot tub and indoor fireplace! It snowed a couple of days during our March visit, and it was spectacular!! You can’t dream this stuff up!! The host was very responsive, and addressed all of our needs. A couple of things I would note to prospectives: I would suggest that you bring a little box of general medicine with some things like painkiller and decongestants, because it is 45 mins to the closest city. One other thing is that the stairs to access the loft are very steep. It wasn’t a problem for us, but it’s noticeable. We had the neighbors Thai food, which the host suggested and shared her menu, and it was awesome! Best trip ever, would love to go back and make more memories! It was worth the drive and the cost!

    The cabin is pristine, and Lori has been so thoughtful in every nook, cranny, and corner of it. The Bose system for music, the already-prepared firewood and starters - hard to list it all but you'll feel how thoughtful she's been as you explore inside. The lack of light pollution is completely true - we actually saw the milky way on the first night, which was mind-blowing. Download a 'stars' app and spot them all while you soak in the hot tub. Pure bliss. Something that really struck me was the lack of *noise* pollution. It is dead quiet out there, which was incredibly peaceful and something I haven't experienced before. It will really impact you (in a good way) if you've never been to a location this remote. Someone mentioned the long gravel road to get there, and that it kind of makes going out a little challenging, but after you drive into town a couple of times, it really isn't bad! Plus there's cows, horses, turkeys, and expansive views to experience along the way :) Oh and you can get insanely good thai food delivered to your door. I mean what is this place?! Do yourself a favor and stay here. Find peace, and pleasure, and balance. You'll love it and you'll miss it.
