About This Property

A hidden gem in the heart of the Black Hills, Twin Elks is a brand new log cabin with an upper and lower unit that can be rented separately or together to sleep 6 or 12 people. Inside, each unit will feature a living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms (each with a queen bed), a queen sofa sleeper, and a full bathroom.  Enjoy the serene and beautiful views of the valley with your own private porch and just wait for the elk, deer, and abundance of wildlife to stroll through. 

We welcome you to look out over the valley and take in the abundance of nature. Watch for elk herds roaming through, deer, owl and blue birds. Explore the 1.2 million acres of US Forest Service Land that borders the property by horseback, bike, hiking, or ATV (rentals in town), come face to face with a buffalo at Custer State Park, paddle board at Sylvan Lake or Legion Lake, go rock climbing, or spend a day sightseeing all the caves and monuments in the area. The vast Black Hills National Forest is your home base for countless outdoor activities! 

Prefer to stay in? Relax under the pines in the hammock or on the covered deck. Streaming services and games are available, or cook your favorite meal on the grill and relax under the stars.
