Rushmore & Custer State Park 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.   ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - RV/bus/truck parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - 5 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 448 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107300000/107290700/107290649/38cf5f4b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Custom Built Log Cabin Bordered by Black Hills National Forest KEYSTONE - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Parking available - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 11 reviews CA $190 CA $229 total includes taxes & fees Nov 24 - Nov 25 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=107290649&PinnedHotelID=107290649&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cabin 22 | Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/16000000/15680000/15676300/15676259/da625862.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holy Smoke Resort Keystone - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Microwave 9.0 Wonderful 579 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=15676259&PinnedHotelID=15676259&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/76000000/75820000/75817100/75817023/fa43e82e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mount Rushmore, Black Hills.
