Modern 3-bedroom, 3-bath cabin with the Maah Daah Hey trailhead at the back patio and Rough Rider State Park a two-minute walk away. Five minutes to Medora, Bully Pulpit Golf Course, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Sleeps 10 in beds for 12: two queen suites on the main floor, eight twins upstairs. Blackstone griddle, fire pit, camper pad with 220 hookup, high-speed internet, A/C in every room and heated floors.

We built the Radlander ourselves after a bike ride on the Maah Daah Hey turned into what if we had a cabin right here. It sits at the Deuce trailhead, so you walk off the patio and onto 150 miles of singletrack. Half a mile up the trail you're on top of the buttes looking down at the Little Missouri; a mile in you're above Bully Pulpit Golf Course.

The cabin: open kitchen, dining and living area with big windows facing the Badlands, polished concrete floors with in-floor heat, and a mini-split in every room for summer. Two queen bedrooms on the main floor each have their own patio and a full bath. Upstairs is a bunk room with four twins and a loft with four built-in twins, a sectional and a TV. The kitchen has a gas range, dishwasher, ice maker and dinnerware for 12. Out back: a 36-inch Blackstone griddle, a fire pit with patio furniture, and the trail.

Getting around: Rough Rider State Park (formerly Sully Creek) is a two-minute walk for river access and horse trails. Downtown Medora, the Medora Musical (June–September), Bully Pulpit, the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (opened July 2026) are all under ten minutes by car. Dickinson and the regional airport are 35 minutes east.

Bring a camper There's a camper pad with a 220 plug on the north side of the garage. Dog-friendly with approval (one dog). Guests have the whole cabin except the garage.

We send a personal door code and a digital welcome guide three days before check-in, with directions, WiFi, house details and our local picks for eating and exploring.

    We loved our home away from home in Medora! The place was awesome, great setting and very comfortable for our group! Communication was excellent! We really appreciated this wonderful stay!

    Overall this was a perfect spot, great location, beautiful property, comfy beds. Only negative was the water pressure, there was just enough to shower but it would have been impossible to wash my hair, which was disappointing after hiking all day.

    We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO in Medora! The house was spotless, comfortable, and had absolutely stunning views. We especially appreciated the blackout curtains and shades, which helped keep the house cool during some very hot days. The air conditioning worked great, making it a perfect retreat after spending time outdoors.One of our favorite features was the upstairs TV room—it was a cozy spot to relax in the evenings. We were celebrating our visit to our 50th state with our daughter and son-in-law, and this home made the occasion even more special. We loved sitting outside, enjoying the scenery, and even spotted deer in the yard.The location couldn't have been better for exploring the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We drove the 36-mile scenic loop, saw countless bison, and enjoyed several shorter hikes. We also visited Painted Canyon and hiked the Jones Creek Trail. Medora itself was charming. We enjoyed dining on the deck at the Little Missouri Saloon and had a great meal in the bar at Theodore's.This home was the perfect base for our adventures—clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and conveniently located. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Medora and Theodore Roosevelt National Park!

    Our stay was perfect. The house was clean and felt very comfortable, felt like home. We loved the view. The only thing I didn't like was that there is not a railing on the stair case.

    Our family met here to celebrate my wife's birthday with others in our family. This was the perfect location for a mix of outdoor adventure, access to Medora and the National Park, and more than anything, the peace and quiet that comes with being in this area. Kyle was great to work with and we enjoyed every aspect of our journey and stay.

    Beautiful private home. Looking forward to staying again with more friends and family. Had our dog with us and he had great space for walks. Lots of signs of wild animals at the property. None visited while we were there but pheasants and other birds. Will definitely be back.

    Relaxing getaway and great house. Wish the neighbors would turn their lights off at night and weren’t so close. But still a great property close enough to town but far enough away. Highly recommended
