Property Details

Just a stone's throw from Custer State Park! Historic 1890 log cabin located on six serene acres in Custer County, SD.

Located on the first floor, this area is the original master bedroom of the McDonald Ranch private residence. The lodge was designed and built by Richard and Carol McDonald, the current owners. This suite has been slightly redesigned to become a lovely space for our guest’s enjoyment.

An entrance to the Master Suite has been added to the cozy, private deck. It faces the front of the property, to the East, with views of the large meadow across the county road. A kitchenette was added Spring 2022 which includes: a sink, dining and basic cooking utensils, coffeemaker, microwave, induction hot plate with cooking pans, and dorm size fridge. This suite also includes free Wifi, a wall mounted TV with Roku streaming stick, and a portable air conditioner. (Unfortunately, the propane fireplace is non functional.)

This suite includes custom wood flooring, a vaulted ceiling with considerable windows, and one king size bed. The in-suite bathroom includes a large jacuzzi bathtub with windows, single sink with expansive counter space, toilet, and a spacious walk-in shower.

This suite is ideal for a couple, or as additional space to the adjacent Carriage House Cabin located a few steps away to the South. Dad, Mom, and a couple of little ones can stay in the Carriage House with Grandma and Grandpa in the Master Suite.
