An affordable but beautiful cabin

We are Backroads Inn and Cabins. Our property lies in Echo Valley. 8 acres surrounded by National Forest. We are the essence of the Black Hills, yet minutes away from everything people come to see, like Mt Rushmore (2.4 miles) and Custer State Park (15 minutes).

Search for our reviews if you want to know what others think of us.

If you want the enjoyment of staying at Echo Valley at a low price tag, the Golden Nugget is your cabin.  We just turned something that was really good into spectacular. Newly restyled into a clean and simple yet beautiful space. This studio has a king-sized bed slightly elevated above a small living room and kitchenette (full-size fridge, hot plate, sink, toaster, microwave, coffee pot).  There is also a twin-size tri-fold sleeping mattress.  There is a deck off the front as well as a private gas grill and fire pit.  Perfect for a small family or couple's retreat.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, featuring a kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer and a microwave. There's a private patio. A kitchenette makes it easy to prepare your meals. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment.

Cabin in the Woods
The location was great to exploring the Black Hills. It was a little cabin tucked up in some trees just off the main highway. You could not hear any traffic..it was very peaceful.

Cozy cabin
Our 3 night stay in the Gold Nugget cabin was perfect. Loved that it was so close to Mr Rushmore but away from main street Keystone. Much more enjoyable stay than a hotel. My husband keep telling me what a great find it was. Love the set up with the bed in the loft. Great place to relax and watch some tv after a day of hiking and sightseeing. Would highly recommend.

Lovely little cabin!
This was the perfect little cabin for the two of us to stay while we went on a South Dakota road trip. So close to the town of Keystone and Mount Rushmore. Also a nice place to stay if visiting Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park. Very clean and cozy. We loved staying here!

Charming…Cozy…Clean (very clean😊)
The Golden Nugget cabin was ADORABLE! Loved all the “FARMHOUSE “ charm. The cabin was clean and truly a delight. So very close to everything…we had been to Mount Rushmore in the afternoon but because it was only 10 min. away we drove back up for evening lighting,! Definitely would book again!

My husband and I had a great time in Keystone and this cabin was the perfect place for us to stay. It was clean, had everything we needed, and was close to town but still felt remote and quiet. We would definitely stay here again

Excellent spot in the woods but close to what you need!
The Gold Nugget is a great, cozy spot. Loved it! We only had one night but would go back if in the area! The cabin has everything you need. The bed is tucked up and super comfortable! The cabin I suspect was a fifth wheel camper in its prior life, but the interior is lined with wood, wood flooring, excellent kitchenette area! Nice sized porch! We enjoyed sitting outside, watching the deer go by! This was perfect for the two of us! It’s outside Keystone’s Main Street area but only by a mile or so! Kitchen utensils, coffee, full sized fridge, TV, WiFi, everything we needed! Easy check in. Only downside was with check in no earlier than 4 pm and check out required by 10 am, it felt a bit rushed. Would have expected an 11 am or noon check out option. Super glad we found this place! Definitely would recommend it.

Excellent location and tiny house cabin.
We truly enjoyed our 4 days in the area and inside the tiny home. The customer service was excellent and the area was beautiful. We hiked the two trails right from the property and they were a blast. Everything was provided and we had no issues with anything at all. Would 100% recommend this owner and the property to all of our friends and family.

Adorable cabin
This was the cutest cabin! My kids loved the bed “upstairs”. Great sitting area outside and a cute creek beside the cabin made a great place for my kids to play in the morning. We even met the owners who were so kind. I highly recommend.

Great stay
This is a beautiful property just outside of Keystone SD and just a few miles from Mount Rushmore. We enjoyed a fire after a long day of 4 wheeling area trails. Our hosts provided smore fixins which was a perfect cap to a fun day in the area. We high recommend Backroads.
