At The Edge Of Solitude Where Stars Are Bright And The Air Is Fresh

Fortunately, some of the most beautiful places on earth can be experienced without the cost and responsibility of actually owning them. Red Canyon Ranch in the Black Hills is no exception. Situated high atop the Black Hills historic red-limestone and sandstone canyon, the location of the original route into the Hills for both Native Americans and the white settlers that followed, Red Canyon Ranch is a monument to the cowboy lifestyle, with elements of luxury and style that most cowboys have probably never seen. The cabin is a lodge-pole pine dwelling, in the tradition of an aged lodge. The cabin sits on 110 private acres and offers full views of Red Canyon from three sides, rustic floors and cabinetry with natural dry-stack, slate fireplace in the living room, and master bedroom, and sleeping accommodations for 6 people. An outdoor hot tub that nearly floats above the canyon’s edge makes soaking under the stars a life time memory.

On a clear day, Red Canyon offers extraordinary views to its east, where sheer red walls accentuate the awesome powers that went into its creation, as well as the intricacies of its meandering path. To the south, across the canyon, the dense clustering of centuries-old Ponderosa pine easily explains how the area came to be known as the “Black” Hills . To the west, the canyon continues with steep rock walls, dramatic outcroppings and a long distance view to Wyoming.

You'll Love Our Neighbors: Red Canyon is home to one of the most diverse wildlife populations in the Black Hills. Elk, Antelope, Mule Deer, Eagles, Mountain Lions, Bobcats and Turkeys.

Explore The Best Part Of The Black Hills: The southern Black Hills holds something for everyone and every taste. Nestled among the rolling hills are quaint towns offering shopping, dining, and tourist attractions that could easily fill your day with smiles. The area also hosts some of the country’s most beautiful parks and well-known monuments, all within a short and scenic drive from each other.

At the Founder's Cabin, you'll have thousands of acres to explore whether hiking or horseback riding across this historic property.

This cottage is simply amazing. I went to South Dakota for the Sturgis motorcycle rally but was so captivated with the tranquility and views that I spent most of the vacation relaxing at the cottage. Waking up with 5 deer just outside the door to all of natures creatures and views surrounding me, I didn't want to leave. I couldn't have imagined anything more stunning. Thank you Lori!

Everything as advertised plus added special touches

This is a gorgeous, out-of-the-way property. The view of the canyon and the night sky are worth every minute of the drive out of the way. The owner has gone out of the way to provide quality bed linens and towels, a clean grill on the deck, comfortable furnishings inside and out; even the fireplace was ready-all we had to do was light it up! Peaceful, gorgeous and beautiful stay!

Spring Break

Somehow the amazing pictures did not do this place justice! The view was breathtaking whether it was from the deck, hot tub, kitchen, or bedroom. Loved the long drive to the the wonderful seclusion, the kitchen was great for cooking and it all felt fancy without being ostentatious.Custer State Park will forever have a piece of my heart.

Absolutely Gorgeous!

We stayed at the cabin over Thanksgiving weekend to visit relatives in the area. The cabin was absolutely perfect. After long days of being with family we came home and woke up to silence and beauty. This is the perfect spot for a mindful retreat by yourself or relaxing time with loved ones. Highly recommended!
