Cozy cabin near all the attractions in the Heart of the Hills! Pet friendly!

"I can not begin to tell you how amazing our stay was. Beds, kitchen gadgets, house furnishings, location, outdoor extras... I literally can not say enough good things. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!!! The space and location are amazing!!" - Heather R.

The Aspen Hollow Cabin is a clean, cozy, unique and thoughtfully decorated Black Hills vacation home featuring three main floor bedrooms. The master suite contains a king size bed and a private bathroom featuring a custom vanity and a beautiful, modern tiled walk-in shower, with easy access to the hot tub patio. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The third bedroom has two twin beds. There is a second bath at the end of the hall on the main floor with another custom vanity, and a tiled tub and shower.

"Comfortable beds, linens, and very clean with loads of “little things” that make all the difference when you’re far from home" - Gina M.

The open concept main living area features a pet and kid friendly wood-look tile floor, new furniture, and plenty of seating for the whole family. It also boasts an airy, vaulted reclaimed wood ceiling that opens into the cozy treehouse-like loft for additional living space. The loft is the ideal setting to enjoy morning coffee or snuggle up with book, it also contains a full-sized futon for additional sleeping accommodations.

"The loft was a great area to do puzzles and look out the large windows at the beautiful scenery" - Kelsey W.

The kitchen comes fully equipped with new appliances and everything you will need to prepare meals for your entire group. The dining area has a large custom table with seating for everyone. Just off the kitchen and dining area is a secluded patio where you can use the propane grill to cook a meal or simply enjoy plenty of seating to cool off after a long day of exploring the Hills. Later, you can gather around the firepit to enjoy the cool, beautiful mountain evenings by telling stories, making S'mores, and enjoying beverages. If you're ready for a night out, there are well over a dozen great local restaurants, breweries, and wineries within a fifteen-minute drive.

"We looked forward to getting back to the cabin each evening to cook and relax in the lovely space. Super clean!" - Natalie E.

Other amenities include satellite TV with all of the premium movie channels, high speed fiber optic internet with Wi-Fi, a Smart-TV for your favorite streaming services, an on-demand water heater, central AC, and a washer and dryer for your convenience. We also have a hot tub! Enjoy a relaxing soak right outside your door after a long day of site-seeing in the Hills!

"We came to bike and the location on the Mickelson Trail was ideal." - Amy Z.

Your cozy vacation getaway is conveniently located just off of US Highway 16/385 midway between the charming small towns of Hill City and Custer. The property borders the Mickelson Trail, so you have easy access to the 106-mile-long trail that runs the length of the Black Hills from Edgemont to Deadwood (make sure to bring your bikes!) If you are looking for motorized recreation, we have plenty of parking for motorcycles, ATVs, and trailers. National Forest Service motor-vehicle use maps are available at many local businesses and all of the city visitor's centers and NFS offices.

"The Black Hills area has much to offer for a fantastic getaway, and the Aspen Hollow Cabin is centrally located to all the attractions. You will love staying at this wonderful property!" - Sherry S.

The Aspen Hollow Cabin is minutes from Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore, Black Elk Peak, and many area trails and lakes, including Sylvan Lake, Sheridan Lake, and Pactola Reservoir.

"Home is near a highway and helicopter tour business but the home was well insulated and could barely hear the outside noise. Plus the kids were [so] fascinated with watching the helicopters taking off that we ended up enjoying a ride as well!" - Mary R.

Another option is to step out the front door and visit our neighbors, Black Hills Aerial Adventures, to take a helicopter ride and enjoy a truly unique way to experience all the splendor the Black Hills have to offer!

Great Weekend Getaway to Custer
The house was very nice, clean and well maintained. We planned our trip around hiking Black Elk Peak, and this location was just a short drive over to Sylvan lake and the trailhead. We loved coming back and relaxing in the hot tub. It is also a nice quick drive into town where we enjoyed walking around and eating at local restaurants. Our kids loved the loft, and enjoyed playing some of the games at the house. Would love to stay here again next time we come to Custer.

Lovely & welcoming
A great stay! Everything from furnishings to decor to comfy beds to the welcome basket made us feel special! Loved taking a convenient helicopter ride and Mikelson Trail out the back door was great for morning walks with the dog. The hosts were quick to respond to questions but not intrusive. And how nice not to have a list of chores for checkout. We highly recommend this property!

Wonderful Home!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the hot tub got used everyday! The kids enjoyed watching the helicopters come in and land each morning. We were never bothered by the closeness of this attraction. We felt very centrally located to everything we did on our stay. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves visiting the area again!

Well appointed and beautiful home
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house has plenty of space and is fully stocked with more than enough essentials. My husband especially appreciated all the supplies so we don’t have to go buy hand soap or toilet paper on vacation and then leave it behind. The house is very nicely decorated and we could watch the Olympics which was fun! And the hot tub is great. It is centrally located to all the main sites and close to Hill City for restaurants, shopping and a grocery store. My only complaint is that we weren’t aware the helicopter tour company is literally in front of the house and at times if you are outside, it’s loud. It wasn’t too bad as they stopped flights pretty early in the evening and the other thing is next door are these run down buildings that seem abandoned. I know you can’t control that but it was kind of ugly. The backyard would be a bit better maybe with some closure for kids as it’s private but also not as the hot tub is open to the front of the house. The trail behind is nice and convenient too. Overall, it’s a great place and we would recommend it as long as you’re aware of the surroundings.

Father's Day Family Vacation
The property was perfect for us. Very clean and had everything you could imagine, just like our home. Top shelf accessories, plates, utensils, appliances, internet and a very practical layout accommodating our group of 6 plus 2 small dogs. Grilled and entertained my aunt and uncle with the large kitchen table area that doubled as a nightly card area. Close to both Custer and Hill City making a quick trip to all the local attractions.

Great find!
Our family visited for a long weekend. We have 3 kids and brought 2 dogs and it was just perfect. The trail just out back was an unexpected surprise! We wore the pups out multiple times a day. We also took a fun and unexpected helicopter ride because the house is next to a helicopter tour operation. And being so close to the helicopter tours wasn’t at all off-putting. The location was excellent for all we wanted to do. If we return in the future we’ll likely rebook with these hosts who make it all so welcoming and easy. Thank you!!!

Absolutely great place to stay!! Location is conveniently close to things , didn’t have to drive too far out of our way for anything. We felt so cozy and comfy , whatever it was the comfy beds or the cozy fire pit out back. The house was super clean & accommodating. Jack & Lindy really out done themselves with this one. They made sure everything you need is there. We traveled with our dog & they offered a tie out if needed. The Mickelson Trail is right out back as well. It was nice walk in the morning & evening. We cannot wait to be back!!!
