Marshall Gulch Getaway is an authentic hand-hewn log cabin overlooking a serene valley on 7 acres just 2 miles outside of Hill City. A mountain creek flows within view below the cabin. Deer and turkeys are frequent visitors in the yard! The cabin is tastefully decorated with décor fitting the mountain atmosphere. This cozy cabin has a king size log bed in the loft, and a double bed on themain floor bedroom. We allow a max of 4 adults in this rental. If a third sleeping area is needed for a child, you may bring an air mattress and necessary linens. The kitchen is spacious for a family of 4-5.

There is one bathroom with a tub/shower combo and laundry accommodations with washer and dryer. The loft bedroom has a window AC. Board games and playing cards available for rainy or snowy days. There is a 47-inch flat screen satellite TV in the living room, along with a real wood burning fireplace! (And electric heat throughout). We supply a starter supply of firewood, and you can purchase extra at a local grocery store.

The covered front porch is a favorite of guests to sit and watch the wildlife and let the day slip away. Around back is patio with a Gas Log fire-pit that has plenty of outdoor seating to have your morning coffee, outdoor meals, or just sit and watch wildlife. A propane grill is also provided. This cabin sits on a beautiful hillside overlooking the valley below with views of Black Elk Peak. But, the drive to this cabin is a piece of cake and parking is plentiful. Large grassy lawn with plenty of space to roam. This rental is a time-honored favorite for repeat guests.

NO PETS/NO SMOKING. NO TENTS or additional people camping outdoors! No exceptions!

Centrally located in the Black Hills, about 15-20 minutes from Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, Custer State Park, Sheridan, Pactola and Deerfield lakes and the majority of all attractions!

    This property was absolutely a perfect place to celebrate our anniversary in SD. The location was ideal to visit Mt. Rushmore, Black Hills and the Badlands. The cabin had all the amenities we needed to make us comfortable. And the views of the deers and wild turkeys every day was a special treat.

    The cabin is in a picturesque location on the outskirts of Hill City, a quaint Black Hills town with plenty to see and do. Great restaurants nearby, and easy access to all main routes to see the major sites. The cabin is well outfitted, comfortably fits 3-4 people, with all you need to be cozy and comfortable. Plenty of wildlife around to see and enjoy.

    We loved our stay here! The location was perfect in the central hills. Every detail was so well thought out. We especially loved the porch - we spent a lot of time out there sipping coffee, enjoying rainstorms, and watching the wildlife. The size of the cabin was perfect for our family of five. We appreciated the large bathroom with two (!) sinks. My kids loved the game selection and the cute kitty that visited our porch daily.

    Cabin was a nice place to stay. Very quiet except for the occasional car driving by. Looked forward to hearing the horn on the steam train locomotive every morning about 8:00 echoing through the hills. Several deer and a turkey with babies. We sat on front porch every evening and drank a bottle of wine with my wife. A welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of Hill City during the Sturgis Bike Rally.

    This was the perfect place to stay while visiting the Black Hills. The cabin was very clean and very well stocked. David, the owner, was easy to communicate with and responded promptly. It is located far enough from town to be quiet and feel like you are away from things but close enough to be convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

    This cabin was an excellent escape from our busy lives. The cabin sits on an incredibly quiet hill side, with great views all day long. The cabin was very clean, and had everything you could possibly need to enjoy your trip. The cabin is located close to Mt. Rushmore, Custer National Park, and Crazy Horse. Right down the road is Hill City, which has a nice walkable shopping district. There are a few other cities in the area that have similar shopping, and family fun activities.

    The home itself was clean and cozy, and lacked nothing, but the real star is the property itself. The deer and turkeys were daily visitors, and the front porch with its gorgeous view was our favorite place to sip coffee in the morning. ATV/UTV trails were close and the town of Hill City had several good places to eat. The hosts were easy to work with and we hope to stay there again .

    The property was pleasant and clean and plenty of supplies. There were a few things that could have helped like in the main floor bedroom it had a headboard light on the bed but no where to plug it in to read at night, and that also goes for a fan in the bedroom too but no where to plug it in. Also no where to unpack close or hang them up. Up stairs bedroom there was a dresser but no where to hang up close. Also the window air conditioner was very loud and right over our heads so you had to turn it off to sleep but then you’d get hot but couldn’t open the window because the air conditioner was in there.

    Very much enjoyed the cabin. The bedrooms were a little tight for my 6’4” frame. But the view, porch, back yard, kitchen & living area, close to Hill City made it all worth it. Need to update listing as no hot tub any longer. Enjoyed the wildlife passing through.

    We stayed at the cabin recently for a South Dakota family vacation and this cabin was great. Perfect location to everything and had everything we needed. Very clean and communication was super simple. Cute mountainside cabin and we would stay again! The only downside was the kids were thoroughly disappointed about the hot tub not being on the property as the listing states. I would suggest the owners remove this from the listing as it's deceiving.

    The cabin was very clean! Everything was labeled which was so helpful. We were able to find everything we needed without searching. It was a great size for our family of 4. We took in all the activities but the favorite part of the trip for our 6 year olds were UNO on the front porch and the neighbor's burro.
