Keystone Cabin | Quiet, Comfy Black Hills Cabin; Within 10 Mi of Mt. Rushmore & Custer State Park

1 Bedroom Cabin in Keystone

Just a stone's throw from Custer State Park! Three guest cabins, and two suites located in the lodge, are located on 6 beautiful, serene, and quiet acres in Custer County, SD.
The Carol Jean is a historic cabin getaway that we renovated a few years ago. The Carol Jean includes a kitchenette with granite countertops and all new appliances. The bath includes a large natural rock shower. The cabin sleeps four, with a king bed on the first level and two twin beds on the second level (loft). There is an all redwood deck with a swing for outdoor relaxation.
All cabins include Wifi, 32" Roku TV, air conditioning, heating, and outdoor dining facilities with access to a barbecue grill. Cell service can be spotty all through the Black Hills. However, we have recently, (Spring 2022), upgraded to Starlink satellite internet.
This cabin has a swing set and other outdoor equipment in front of it for children to use. There is a large meadow on the property and if you walk to the end of it you can see Mt. Rushmore through the trees.
McDonald Mountain Ranch is in a very convenient location. Center Lake is nearby, which is a swimming/fishing lake with picnic tables, barbeque grills, showers and restrooms; located 2 miles away from the ranch. The Black Hills Historic Playhouse is also within a few miles. The beautiful Iron Mountain Hiking Trail is right around the corner. The Wolf Camp outdoor restaurant which serves barbeque ribs, burgers, pizza, etc is 1/2 mile away. The entrance to Custer State Park is also right around the corner. In our opinion we have the best and most beautiful property and location in the hills!
Minimum age requirement is 3 yrs old.
We do not have guest laundry facilities. There are laundromats in Keystone and Hill City.
Unfortunately due to many considerations and despite the fact that we are huge animal lovers, we do not allow pets in our property. If a guest arrives for their reservation with an animal they will NOT be given a rental key NOR issued a refund.
Check in is at 4:00pm MST. Because we have a full house and are small staffed please do not arrive early. Late check in is fine, just give us a call to arrange it.
Driving and Parking Info: The Ranch is located directly off of a well maintained and paved county road. Our driveways are hard packed dirt and gravel. We have limited parking near each of the cabins and suites. We have an additional parking area at the rear of the main lodge. We have a large, well kept meadow beyond that for overflow parking of motorcycle trailers, side by sides, etc. We ask that you please do not block the main driveways or the two car garage at the front of the property.

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay in this cute and clean rustic cabin. Great location. Unfortunately we didn't get to visit with the owner in person but everything was as described and better. Very clean bathroom and well stocked cabin. We did do the private trail walk to the lake behind property which is a must. Loved our stay. 5 stars

Summary: Arrived about 430 pm. Check in was supposed to be after 4pm. We walked into the cabin to find the bed not made, full garbage bag on the floor. Didn't appear to have been cleaned at all. Went over to the residence and rang the doorbell. Owner came to the door so I told him the cabin wasn't ready. Appeared to be a communication problem as they thought it was ready. We then drove down the road a bit to give them time to get the cabin ready. Came back like 35-40 minutes later and it was ready. Giving them the benefit of the doubt but disappointed it wasn't ready. Surprised also that they didn't do anything for me after the rough start. After that things were fine. So hopefully they have put a process in place to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Summary: We came with our two young sons and stayed for a week and the cabin was just perfect!!! Very clean! Property was well taken care of. The host was great, and even let us know we left our van door open =) We got to watch deer from the porch and windows every day. Our two sons LOVED getting to be in the loft and play cops and robbers. It was so peaceful and so very close to all things Keystone / Custer and Black Hills parks. AND Very close to the playhouse! highly recommend and will come back if we have the opportunity!

Summary: It was a tidy cabin, nicely appointed, maximizing the space. Access to Rushmore and Custer state park was easy.

Summary: Fun little cabin to stay in near Keystone. Tucked away so you have peace and quiet. Our kids enjoyed seeing the deer come right up onto the property. Quiet little cabin with a loft the kids could stay in. Wood cabin so you get the outdoors fell, but also all the amenities we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Summary: We loved this cabin! It was just as described and in a great location to see all the sights. Very clean, cozy & comfortable. Highly recommend!
William J. Oct 13, 2023 11:00:44 AM
Summary: Although small, the Carol Jean Cabin served as the perfect "Base Camp" for our day trips to Wind Cave National Park, Custer State Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, and Mt. Rushmore. Located in a beautiful area outside of Keystone, the cabin offered beautiful morning views, wonderful star-gazing evenings, and restful nights. Far nicer than staying at an in-town motel.
Sherri M. Oct 9, 2023 11:01:26 AM
Summary: Amazing property in the Keystone area close to Mount Rushmore and other attractions was perfect for our week long vacation to SD.
