Mountain Crest, Deadwood, Auth/Hand-Hewn,Secluded,WiFi,Sno Mob/ATV,100mi View

Beyond the ‘usual’ cabin experience… Mountain Crest is a beautifully hand-hewn, non-smoking, authentic log cabin located six miles from Deadwood and seven miles from Lead. From its mountaintop perch you can see as far as 100 miles. (See the video.)

This cabin occupies five acres on a mountaintop northwest of Deadwood, off county-maintained, Maitland road, the ‘backdoor’ road to Spearfish, SD. Only a short drive to skiing at Terry Peak or scenic Spearfish Canyon. While wonderfully secluded and private, you still can enjoy free WiFi.

This unique log cabin makes for a delightful romantic getaway. The trees that grew on my mountaintop are still there. They repose as a part of this handmade log cabin. There is something about the massive logs, the warm, cozy setting and natural serenity, the evening’s celestial beauty, and the amazing views. All of these combine to set human nature at ease and conjure up a special feeling of closeness.

Mountain Crest is well suited to enjoy a relaxing stay and still be able to entertain friends or family members at the same time. The acreage provides a large adjacent parking area that can accommodate multiple vehicles.

It is very clean and well maintained and provides guests complete privacy from the hustle of the outside world. The cabin is rustic, folksy, and user-friendly. Never designed or intended to be marketed as a luxury property, everything about the cabin is pretty ‘straight forward’ and set up as I would want to have available to me. A recent guest and his family have the cabin featured on the tube website as Mountain Crest.mp4.

The special appeal of this cabin… I bought ‘Mountain Crest’ in 2005, a dream come true. I accidentally stumbled upon this unadvertised/unlisted property when I encountered its owner while off-roading in my jeep exploring old settlements and mines. Watching eagles soar, deer graze, chipmunks play, or turkeys strut and simply enjoying nature, is something I always yearned to be able to do. By sitting on the veranda, looking out of the kitchen windows, or relaxing on your bedroom balcony, you can, too. I love having the freedom to adventure out and not come across barbed wire limitations.
