Granite Springs Borders the Forest

Step into the Tenderfoot Valley and feel the Black Hills beauty surround you. This beautiful cabin hosts a gorgeous creek with a pond and is bordered by the National Forest on two sides. Enjoy the wildlife and views of the granite cliffs and forest from the covered deck. The Granite Springs cabin is a perfect combination of convenience and being in the forest. It is privately situated on more than 5 acres of meadow, pines and rock outcroppings between Hill City and Custer.

There is just a short distance (just 1/2 a mile) from the highway to this home, leaving very little gravel for motorcycles guests. Hike, bike, or run on the neighboring Mickelson Trail and unwind in the evenings on the beautiful covered deck. It's not hard to see why guests of the Granite Springs cabin never want to leave this gorgeous refuge! The cabin features a full gourmet kitchen, inside and outside dining, covered deck, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Master bedroom has a queen bed with an attached 3/4 bathroom
The second bedroom has a queen sized bed and there is a full bathroom across the hall
In the living room there is a twin sized sleeper sofa and a queen sized sleeper sofa

*Please note, pictured wood stove is not available for guests use.

Great location
Beautiful cabin in a great location. Between Hill City and Custer - both great places to explore. Also a number of trails within a quick drive. The cabin is comfortable and homey. Hope this place is available next time we go back to this area.

Just what we were looking for
Loved the cabin! Just the right size. It was very clean and inviting. The wrap-around porch was an added benefit. The location was perfect for us. We brought out our ATV's and could travel to the trails and Custer State Park nearby easily. There was lots of space for our vehicle, trailer and machines. I would definitely book this place again.

Gorgeous Setting - Beautiful Cabin
The cabin was spotless - except for the kitchen, thus 4 stars. The furnishings, floors, beds are comfortable, bathrooms, refrigerator spotless! The wrap around covered porch amazing. The expansive grass is perfection, along with numerous flower beds. The bad news: Dishes, silverware, glassware, cookware, etc. were dirty -- our simple suggestion, get a dishwasher! For health's sake! Our group even laundered hot pads and kitchen towels. The cabinet under the sink is very dirty - several sink strainers all filthy, dish drainer extremely filthy. We did wash the two plastic sink mats to use. Custer County is amazing, we saw so many beautiful sites! Great memories!

Granite Springs is a beautiful and well-appointed cabin located in a spacious and private setting. Centrally located between Custer and Hill City, it was the perfect base for our adventures in the Black Hills. The cabin really felt like home away from home. We especially enjoyed sitting out by the small pond to wind down each evening. We definitely would stay here again for a future Black Hills vacation. We found the property on-line and had our initial questions answered promptly. From there, we received timely reminders and related information making our stay an absolute no-hassle experience.

Stay was fantastic.
Stay was fantastic. Cabin was fantastic my kids loved it. Stayed cool the whole time ever though it was 90 and over in heat range outside. Best vacation ever. Leann and the maintenance man was great. I had a car issue and they did everything they could to help. Very friendly and they checked in with me the next morning to make sure I was up and running again. Answered all my questions before the trip and during. Best service I have ever received.

We were extremely happy with the entire property. It had everything we needed and more. The amenities were all top notch. Having the Mickelson Trail right behind the house was great. The deer and turkey trekking across the yard were fun to watch. We had a great time!!!

We absolutely loved staying at this cabin, we will definitely be repeat customers! I loved the covered porch, I spent hours sitting out there enjoying the view. This is an absolutely gorgeous property in a fantastic location. We had everything we needed and couldn’t have enjoyed our stay any more! I didn’t really need to contact anyone about the property, but I did have a question before I booked the cabin and my email was answered promptly.

Wonderful stay, beautiful and clean home, the location fit our needs perfectly. The children most enjoyed the great covered porch and the beautiful big yard. I personally appreciated the fully stocked and spacious kitchen. Thank you, we'll be back! I called LeAnn a few times and she was incredibly helpful and professional. A very kind young man came to reprogram our door lock but I didn't catch his name.
