Mountain Crest: Seclusion and Serenity Await at Our Rustic Mountain Hideaway

Embracing the Seasons:

Prepare for an unforgettable mountain retreat at our rustic cabin, where every season brings its own enchantment. Nestled atop a scenic mountain, this cozy hideaway promises both tranquility and adventure, far from the luxuries of a fancy hotel.

During winter, our mountaintop oasis transforms into a snowy wonderland, offering a magical setting for your getaway. With snow and ice adding a touch of winter charm, we recommend guests come prepared. Opt for a high-clearance 4WD vehicle or equip your ride with light tire chains for added traction. Please note that the gravel road leading to the cabin is not suitable for motorcycles, but it ensures the seclusion and serenity of your stay.

Crafted from authentic logs, Mountain Crest exudes rustic charm, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by natural beauty. We’re not career hosts—just a family who loves sharing our home with others. We’ve kept it as a sanctuary for both guests and wildlife, creating a pollutant-free environment where deer, birds, and other creatures roam freely.

Embracing the natural flora, we forgo a manicured lawn in favor of preserving the mountain's wild beauty. Tucked away on five acres of secluded mountaintop terrain, our cabin provides the perfect blend of serenity and essential comforts. Enjoy free WiFi and Satellite TV while taking in breathtaking panoramic views stretching up to 100 miles.

Inside, you'll find a cozy haven where every detail invites relaxation. The massive logs that frame the cabin create an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy, making it an ideal spot for a romantic getaway or quality time with loved ones.

Mountain Crest is more than just a cabin—it’s a sanctuary where nature, family, and cherished memories come together. Experience the magic of Mountain Crest, where rustic living, wildlife, and the beauty of every season harmoniously converge.

2nd Year with Amazing Privacy

The hosts recently updated an already spacious log home. It is a quiet hideaway with virtually zero traffic. This has been our 2nd spring trip there and it was even better than last year with the updated. Great rental!

Fabulous!

This property was fantastic! It was a real nature retreat, we did not hear any traffic, only birds and nature. A few mornings I saw deer on the property, and so many birds! The peace was exactly what we had hoped for. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals and relax. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Mountain top cabin

This place was well described, from the cabin, to the stairs, the driveway, and the fire pit. Would definitely recommend! Quiet, peaceful, clean, and lovely. I would like to come back someday. I can see why the guest book has repeat visitors. The stairs are interesting, but manageable if you’re pretty mobile and not disabled. And be careful when standing in bedrooms, beams are a little close if your a taller person:)

It was such a beautiful space. I loved the views, the fire pit, the seclusion. THE DECK is gorgeous, we were able to hang outside no matter the weather. Extremely comfortable. The kitchen was easy to figure out, and the lighting at night is really easy going. You can see the stars when the sky is clear. It was honestly perfect. Nothing beats the view and the privacy.Couple things:The staircase is definitely treacherous. We left a light on at night in case anyone had to go back down, and I’m glad we did. It’s really easy to trip and/or fall. You really are 15-20 minutes away from a main road, and there are basically two grocery stores, so make sure you pack accordingly to maximize your time.I’m sure it all depends on time of year, but the flies and bugs were a-plenty on our first few days before a rain cooled things down and made them less of a nuisance. Be mindful.

My family and I have stayed in many VRBO's, and this is probably the most well stocked place we stayed in if you are wanting to do any cooking or grilling. Clean, and pretty secluded.

Great property!

If you want something close to Deadwood, but far enough away to feel secluded - this is the place! Beautiful property about 15-20 minutes from downtown Deadwood. Easy drive to town. Loved the balcony off the bedroom - great place to have coffee and enjoy the view!
