At The Edge Of Solitude Where Stars Are Bright And The Air Is Fresh

Fortunately, some of the most beautiful places on earth can be experienced without the cost and responsibility of actually owning them. Red Canyon Ranch in the Black Hills is no exception. Situated high atop the Black Hills historic red-limestone and sandstone canyon, the location of the original route into the Hills for both Native Americans and the white settlers that followed, Red Canyon Ranch is a monument to the cowboy lifestyle, with elements of luxury and style that most cowboys have probably never seen. The cabin is a lodge-pole pine dwelling, in the tradition of an aged lodge. The cabin sits on 110 private acres and offers full views of Red Canyon from three sides, rustic floors and cabinetry with natural dry-stack, slate fireplace in the living room, and master bedroom, and sleeping accommodations for 6 people. An outdoor hot tub that nearly floats above the canyon’s edge makes soaking under the stars a life time memory.

On a clear day, Red Canyon offers extraordinary views to its east, where sheer red walls accentuate the awesome powers that went into its creation, as well as the intricacies of its meandering path. To the south, across the canyon, the dense clustering of centuries-old Ponderosa pine easily explains how the area came to be known as the “Black” Hills . To the west, the canyon continues with steep rock walls, dramatic outcroppings and a long distance view to Wyoming.

You'll Love Our Neighbors: Red Canyon is home to one of the most diverse wildlife populations in the Black Hills. Elk, Antelope, Mule Deer, Eagles, Mountain Lions, Bobcats and Turkeys.

Explore The Best Part Of The Black Hills: The southern Black Hills holds something for everyone and every taste. Nestled among the rolling hills are quaint towns offering shopping, dining, and tourist attractions that could easily fill your day with smiles. The area also hosts some of the country’s most beautiful parks and well-known monuments, all within a short and scenic drive from each other.

At the Founder's Cabin, you'll have thousands of acres to explore whether hiking or horseback riding across this historic property.

My sister and I stayed here for 3 glorious nights. Got up to see the sunrise and hear nature wake up each morning and have tea on the deck. The gardens were really nice and the smell of sage all around the property. The views were breathtaking, the cabin had all the modern conveniences, the master bed was incredibly comfortable. We’ve already talked about coming back!!

Red Canyon Cabin was just as it appears online - peaceful and stunning. The views from every inch of the property are stunning. My wife and spent 5 days at the cabin and 2 of the days we never left the property. Steps to the loft are steep and bathroom toliet area is a little tight, but other than that the cabin was amazing.If you are looking for a tranquil setting that is maintained to perfection then you need to book this cabin.Thank you Lori for a wonderful stay.

This cottage is simply amazing. I went to South Dakota for the Sturgis motorcycle rally but was so captivated with the tranquility and views that I spent most of the vacation relaxing at the cottage. Waking up with 5 deer just outside the door to all of natures creatures and views surrounding me, I didn't want to leave. I couldn't have imagined anything more stunning. Thank you Lori!

Everything as advertised plus added special touches

This is a gorgeous, out-of-the-way property. The view of the canyon and the night sky are worth every minute of the drive out of the way. The owner has gone out of the way to provide quality bed linens and towels, a clean grill on the deck, comfortable furnishings inside and out; even the fireplace was ready-all we had to do was light it up! Peaceful, gorgeous and beautiful stay!

Incredible honeymoon experience!!!

Within minutes of viewing the listing, my fiancé and I decided to stay here for our honeymoon, and we were not disappointed!The pictures do not do the view justice. I have seen some beautiful places in the Midwest, and have traveled a fair bit, and this was the most beautiful location I’ve ever stayed! We marveled at the scenery, the quiet, the peace, the stars, the detachment from busy life, the attention to detail of the home, the coziness of the surroundings, the opportunity to be in and walk through nature and the wildlife we witnessed. We were bird watching everyday, and really enjoyed the hot tub and indoor fireplace! It snowed a couple of days during our March visit, and it was spectacular!! You can’t dream this stuff up!! The host was very responsive, and addressed all of our needs. A couple of things I would note to prospectives: I would suggest that you bring a little box of general medicine with some things like painkiller and decongestants, because it is 45 mins to the closest city. One other thing is that the stairs to access the loft are very steep. It wasn’t a problem for us, but it’s noticeable. We had the neighbors Thai food, which the host suggested and shared her menu, and it was awesome! Best trip ever, would love to go back and make more memories! It was worth the drive and the cost!

Somehow the amazing pictures did not do this place justice! The view was breathtaking whether it was from the deck, hot tub, kitchen, or bedroom. Loved the long drive to the the wonderful seclusion, the kitchen was great for cooking and it all felt fancy without being ostentatious.Custer State Park will forever have a piece of my heart.
