American Pines Cabin, 5 Miles from Mt. Rushmore!

American Pines Cabins are located on a mountain meadow surrounded by the Black Hills forest with Battle Creek running through the property. Each cabin has 2 bedrooms, each with 1 queen bed, sofa sleeper in the living room, fully furnished kitchen, & bathroom with tub/shower combo.
Enjoy relaxing on the deck while BBQing, watching the children play on the playground, trying your luck at gold panning in the creek, or making S'mores over the firepit as you watch the stars come out. Wake up to deer right outside your bedroom window & start your day with a brief hike up to Ingersoll mine just 1 mile away from your front door to view a piece of Black Hills history. Discover more with the Walking Tour of Historic Keystone. Spend your days sightseeing at Mt. Rushmore, drive through the scenic Needles Highway, hike to the top of Black Elk Peak, or explore one of the many underground wonders including Rushmore Cave, Wind Cave, or Jewel Cave. View live Bison in Custer State Park, drive through wildlife park at Bear Country USA, & view the largest private collection of reptiles, including Maniac, the largest captive crocodile in North America at Reptile Gardens & then return to a quiet evening back at the cabin, just 15 minutes from most major attractions in the Black Hills. Take another day to get off the beaten path & explore the hundred of miles of trails in the Black Hills by renting an ATV/UTV right from our property.
Come see why we've been blessed to call the Black Hills home & want to share it with you! Thanks,
JAROD, BECKI, AUSTIN, CODY, & KYLE

Crazy Horse Half Marathon
It was so great to stay at American Pines. I did the Crazy Horse Half marathon. My family and I stayed here and we had fun. This place is so easy to get to and it was clean. The other cabin folks were respectful of others. Lots of land to walk on and my dog loved it. It was centrally located to Custer, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, all of it. Thanks for making my marathon my best run ever!!!

Very comfortable
The cabin is fantastic - very spacious and well located. It's very quiet, and I loved the playground and basketball court for the kids! Keystone town has everything you need. However, the supermarket is a bit farther, but it's not a big deal. The wi-fi is not great, but even without wi-fi, your phone will not work well at all. It must be the mountains; the signal is terrible. The only "complaint" is the bed comforters - they were smelling a little. I understand how hard it is to wash those covers, but it must be done. Everything else was perfect.

Great for family vacation
The family that manages this property is wonderful to work with, both online and in person. Our cabin was exactly what we expected, it was clean, comfortable, and the location was ideal for vacation sight seeing. I highly recommend renting from American Pines. Additional note: We took advantage of their ATV rentals. The process to rent/return was easy, the equipment was clean and in great shape, and the owners shared their knowledge of trails and technology to maximize our experience!

small, well managed
These are truly mini cabins. fine for 2 people, short stay. Three drawers in the cabin, all with kitchen stuff. no dishwasher. bedrooms are small. If more than 2 people, best to keep all but tomorrows clothes in your vehicle. pretty dim mostly overhead lighting. no dishwasher, galley kitchen. the bathroom is off the kitchen, access is tight if someone is in the kitchen. 4 adults? They best be very good friends and have lots of good outside weather..

Battle Creek Cabin
This place is really nice. Spoke with a person staying next to us that they come there to stay when in the area he tried to get our cabin #5 but they told him it was the only dog friendly and that I was there with a dog. I can see why they come back to this place have a feeling we will as well

Perfect Black Hills Getaway
This cabin was amazing! Incredibly clean and stocked with everything we needed. Location to town is ideal for a Black Hills vacation. It was relaxing to sit on the deck and enjoy the views. The resort was quiet and scenic. Our kids loved the playground and basketball court - and were so excited to see the train come right by! We had the best time and would recommend to everyone looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation!
