American Pines Cabin, 5 Miles from Mt. Rushmore!

American Pines Cabins are located on a mountain meadow surrounded by the Black Hills forest with Battle Creek running through the property. Each cabin has 2 bedrooms, each with 1 queen bed, sofa sleeper in the living room, fully furnished kitchen, & bathroom with tub/shower combo.
Enjoy relaxing on the deck while BBQing, watching the children play on the playground, trying your luck at gold panning in the creek, or making S'mores over the firepit as you watch the stars come out. Wake up to deer right outside your bedroom window & start your day with a brief hike up to Ingersoll mine just 1 mile away from your front door to view a piece of Black Hills history. Discover more with the Walking Tour of Historic Keystone. Spend your days sightseeing at Mt. Rushmore, drive through the scenic Needles Highway, hike to the top of Black Elk Peak, or explore one of the many underground wonders including Rushmore Cave, Wind Cave, or Jewel Cave. View live Bison in Custer State Park, drive through wildlife park at Bear Country USA, & view the largest private collection of reptiles, including Maniac, the largest captive crocodile in North America at Reptile Gardens & then return to a quiet evening back at the cabin, just 15 minutes from most major attractions in the Black Hills. Take another day to get off the beaten path & explore the hundred of miles of trails in the Black Hills by renting an ATV/UTV right from our property.
Come see why we've been blessed to call the Black Hills home & want to share it with you! Thanks,
JAROD, BECKI, AUSTIN, CODY, & KYLE
