The Minnesota Ridge Cabin

Welcome to The Minnesota Ridge Cabin at Backroads Inn and Cabins. Newly restyled into a clean, simple, and beautiful space. This 2 bedroom/1bathroom cabin has a queen sized beds, living room and apartment sized kitchen. Take a deep breath of fresh air and listen to the water run down the stream on this 8 acre property surrounded by National Forest. You will feel complete peace while also being minutes away from Mt Rushmore (2.4 miles) and Custer State Park (15 mins)

Community Pool (heated) open 10am to dark Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Please Note: We offer Starlink Satellite wifi, but being located in an isolated valley we are susceptible to slower speeds.

Our cabins are surrounded by the Black Hills National Forest, so you'll likely see deer, wild turkeys, and other wildlife. As with any wooded setting, the occasional mouse may find its way indoors, though this is uncommon.

Close to all the main Black Hills attractions:
