Granite Springs

Summary:

Step into the Tenderfoot Valley and feel the Black Hills beauty surround you.



The Space:

Step into the Tenderfoot Valley and feel the Black Hills beauty surround you. This beautiful cabin hosts a gorgeous creek with a pond and is bordered by the National Forest on two sides. Enjoy the wildlife and views of the granite cliffs and forest from the covered deck. The Granite Springs cabin is a perfect combination of convenience and being in the forest. It is privately situated on more than 5 acres of meadow, pines and rock outcroppings between Hill City and Custer.



There is just a short distance (just 1/2 a mile) from the highway to this home, leaving very little gravel for motorcycles guests. Hike, bike, or run on the neighboring Mickelson Trail and unwind in the evenings on the beautiful covered deck. It's not hard to see why guests of the Granite Springs cabin never want to leave this gorgeous refuge! The cabin features a full gourmet kitchen, inside and outside dining, covered deck, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Beautiful cabin in a great location. Between Hill City and Custer - both great places to explore. Also a number of trails within a quick drive. The cabin is comfortable and homey. Hope this place is available next time we go back to this area.

Wonderful place

We enjoyed the cabin very much the front porch was great place where we sat and watched the wildlife run around in the yard. It was located kind a in the middle of all the attractions we wanted to see. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for a great stay in the Black Hills. The only thing that didnt make it perfect was some noise from the highway close by but we didnt hear it from inside the cabin. When we come back to this area again, we would definably rent this place again !

My family and I had such a wonderful stay at Granite Springs - the location could not be beat! We were close to all of the attractions, nestled right between Custer and Hill City. The cabin was perfect for our family of 5, big living space and open kitchen to easily fit all of us, and of course the wrap around porch was the main attraction. The massive yard was so nice to have for the kids to play around in after all of our sightseeing. Everything was clean, beds were comfy, and being able to use washer/dryer was a big plus. Can't recommend enough. Thank you!

Just what we were looking for

Loved the cabin! Just the right size. It was very clean and inviting. The wrap-around porch was an added benefit. The location was perfect for us. We brought out our ATV's and could travel to the trails and Custer State Park nearby easily. There was lots of space for our vehicle, trailer and machines. I would definitely book this place again.

Beautiful Property in Black Hills

Granite Springs was the perfect getaway in the Black Hills of South Dakota! It was centrally located to all of the adventures we wanted to take. The property is amazing. The kids had a blast exploring the yard. The house is spacious and clean with plenty of extra pillows and linens for pull-out couches. The property manager was very responsive. We had a small issue with condensation in the bathrooms due to high humidity, but the property manager was on top of it! All of the kitchen essentials were provided to make our stay as close to home as possible. The porch views were so beautiful. This was a fabulous place to call "home" for the week while we hiked and adventured all over this beautiful area. We would absolutely stay again!

Gorgeous Setting - Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was spotless - except for the kitchen, thus 4 stars. The furnishings, floors, beds are comfortable, bathrooms, refrigerator spotless! The wrap around covered porch amazing. The expansive grass is perfection, along with numerous flower beds. The bad news: Dishes, silverware, glassware, cookware, etc. were dirty -- our simple suggestion, get a dishwasher! For health's sake! Our group even laundered hot pads and kitchen towels. The cabinet under the sink is very dirty - several sink strainers all filthy, dish drainer extremely filthy. We did wash the two plastic sink mats to use. Custer County is amazing, we saw so many beautiful sites! Great memories!

Granite Springs is a beautiful and well-appointed cabin located in a spacious and private setting. Centrally located between Custer and Hill City, it was the perfect base for our adventures in the Black Hills. The cabin really felt like home away from home. We especially enjoyed sitting out by the small pond to wind down each evening. We definitely would stay here again for a future Black Hills vacation. We found the property on-line and had our initial questions answered promptly. From there, we received timely reminders and related information making our stay an absolute no-hassle experience.

We absolutely loved staying at this cabin, we will definitely be repeat customers! I loved the covered porch, I spent hours sitting out there enjoying the view. This is an absolutely gorgeous property in a fantastic location. We had everything we needed and couldn’t have enjoyed our stay any more! I didn’t really need to contact anyone about the property, but I did have a question before I booked the cabin and my email was answered promptly.
