Rustic Family Mountain Top Cabin! 360 degree “million dollar” Black Hills views!

Step back in time while staying at this hilltop property, 7Fr Ranch. See the sunrise and sunset, gaze at the stars and unparalleled mountain views. Hiking, trail riding, exploration all nearby. When making the scenic drive up to the top of the mountain, you’ll see whitetail deer and turkey, and escape from the hustle and bustle of modern day life. When you reach the peak at 5,550’, you’ll be in awe of the scenic vistas, refreshing air, and isolation. If you want to stay in touch, there is Starlink available.

Quiet getaway!
My spouse and I stayed 4 nights in this fun, rustic cabin. It was the perfect place to bring our two dogs! There was plenty of space indoors and outdoors for them. We were surrounded by forest and a 360 degree view of the Black Hills! The king size bed was comfortable and the cabin looked even nicer than the pictures revealed. We definitely will come back!!

We first fell in love with this house from the pictures, but in reality the pictures just don't do it justice. From the first moment we pulled to the end of the long, winding road at the top of the hill, we knew this place was special. The view in any direction is breathtaking, and we spent a lot of time just outside on the property watching and exploring. The house itself is a great mix of old and new, with the newer half of the house giving you a more modern feel and the original half giving you that old-time cabin feel. The kitchen has everything you could need, as we cooked and ate most of our meals at the house. Location is very convenient to everything the Black Hills has to offer, but at the same time being way up at the top of the hill makes you feel worlds away. There is wifi and a satellite TV, but somehow I don't think we ever even turned it on (which says a lot with three kids in tow). Instead we just hung out and enjoyed all the property had to offer. This place was a hard one to leave. Highly recommend.

Home HQ for a touristy vacation
This property was chosen for its amenities, of course, but more so for the general privacy. It is indeed a rustic cabin on a hill top! Thanks to the tippy-top location it's never long between breezes which made for pleasant nights. This property was our HQ for destinations in and around Hill City. We could take our dogs with us or leave them there dependent on the day's shenanigans. The dogs did great on and off leash (they're city dogs so woods were new and exciting). The worst part was "Jeff." Jeff got into a habit of staring in the windows from the main stoop early in the mornings until our dogs would bark. Jeff didn't mind the barking, it just got us people up and we had to shoo his persistent rabbit hiney off the stoop. Jeff may live under the planks of the small porch on the original side of the cabin. We didn't light a fire but there were options to do so; we were cautious due to the high level dangers of forest fires during our visit. That and we usually made it back bone tired and didn’t want a fire. The amenities were great! Washer/dryer were solid; fridge/freezer good and cold; stove/oven small but in good order; internet is Starlink (I think) and made streaming easy; toilets are not compost-toilets but contemporary now; showers worked a-ok! My partner and I felt spoiled on our family vacation and are so thankful we found this exceptional site!

Great house
I knew from the photos that the house was designed with lots of windows, and for obvious reasons. What surprised me was the wall hangings and decorations. Quite a collection. That and the 7 elk that welcomed me 5 min after arrival.

Great get away!
We enjoyed our stay immensely. It is definitely A rustic environment. My family and I enjoyed everything about the cabin, with the exception of the bathroom in the bedroom with the twin beds, that one needs a little bit of work. Our host was easy to get a hold of, accommodating and my family and I will definitely be back for another visit.

Beautiful Mountain location
The location and views are amazing. The only bathroom in one of the bedrooms is LESS than ideal for two couples. You really can’t call it a bathroom since only a curtain separates you from the beds. They may say sleeps 6 but only 2 twin beds and one King bed. A bit over priced for what you get.

Charming Mountain Top Cabin
This is a truly charming "rustic" cabin with a flush toilet and streaming TV. It's very roomy and bright.. Morning sun filled the kitchen and other numerous east facing windows.The mountain top was very quiet with the exception of the wind whistling their the surrounding ponderosa forest. The view of the surrounding Black Hills is spectacular. My wife was delighted with its well appointed kitchen. Our leashed dog enjoyed exploring the surrounding woods. The drive up to the cabin is an adventure. The road up to the top is scenic but also steep at times and bumpy. An AWD/4WD vehicle is recommended. The toilet is located in the twin bed bedroom so a family visit would work much better than two couples. The other king size bed/bedroom is at the the other end of the cabin. A trip to the bathroom from that bedroom is nearly the length of the long cabin, but definitely not a deal breaker for us. We hope to come back and stay longer. Highly recommend.

Quiet mountain top views from all sides. Cabin offers a “olden days” experience for teenagers but with electricity, running water, and Wi-Fi. Bring some cards or a board game and reconnect. If your lucky “Buster” a large black dog will come up for a visit.

Perfect combination of rustic and modern lodging
This was the perfect combination of a very well kept property with good I termed and cell service coupled with an off the beaten path “wilderness” feel. The driveway is long and steep but easily passable even with a trailer. The views from literally the top of the mountain are stunning to say the least. Nice kitchen with plenty of places to hang out together or separate in the house. Located minutes from Hill City and about 25 miles from Rapid City, it’s easy to get around. Also located near the thousands of miles of Forrest road at ATV trails. The only thing to be aware of is the bathroom is in the second bedroom and has only a curtain for privacy so make sure you are very comfortable with the people you are staying with. We look forward to staying here on our next trip to the Black Hills!! We cannot recommend these hosts enough as their communication was the best we’ve ever had through Vrbo or other services that are similar.

We really enjoyed our stay there. Lots of room inside and outside. Peaceful and private lot with great views and not too far from things to do. Krull grocery store and Hill City not far. Ranch house worked great for us. Had cozy spaces and bigger spaces to hang out. Cooked inside, grilled outside. The owners communicated well.

Unrivaled Views!
If you're looking for a remote peaceful setting with modern conveniences, this is the place for you! The views at this cabin are unmatched; you get a panorama of the Black Elk Peak massif, the Needles and other iconic natural landmarks in the Black Hills. The surrounding landscape is sloping with small meadow breaks and booming with wildflowers and mature pines, small brush and aspen. Definitely would recommend and plan on staying again! Jeffrey and Lili are wonderful hosts!

Beautiful Mountain Vistas and a rustic experience with a little bit of a thrill ride getting there.
It was very unique and rustic/authentic. Sure... there could have been a few extra amenities (washer, dryer, central or additional bathroom)... but, the views and the unique mountain experience were almost Grizzly Adams-esque. We loved being there!
