Off the beaten path, in the Black Hills of South Dakota, lies Alpine Prairie Lodge. At an elevation of 6000ft, it's located 3 miles north of gorgeous Deerfield Lake and 6 miles South of Rochford, SD on a very well maintained GRAVEL road, (currently in the process of being paved). Enjoy all the character and comfort of this beautiful 2600 sq ft Log Cabin with spectacular views of the surrounding National Forest and Sioux Sacred Tribal Land, Pe' Sla. This is a perfect cabin for a family getaway or simply a relaxing stay. Endless hiking and 4-wheeling opportunities abound from the property. The award winning Mickelson Rail to Trail perfect for biking and Rapid Creek are within 6 miles. Roughly 35 - 45 minutes from Deadwood, Mt.Rushmore, Crazy Horse. The closest town, the quaint Hill City, is 18 truly beautiful miles to the Southeast. Only 28 Miles from the ski slopes of Terry Peak. Listen to the coyotes howl at dusk and dawn. The stars are simply amazing on a clear night including a spectacular view of the Milky Way! Excellent wildlife viewing from the cabin and surrounding areas.
GRAVEL from the cabin north 6 miles to pavement (this stretch currently with construction underway in preparation for paving) and to the South, GRAVEL for 4 miles (currently under construction/paving) until you hit pavement toward Hill City.
***NOTE - 2025 road construction, prepping and paving of the gravel road, ongoing on South Rochford Rd ( that will allow for local traffic including guests at our cabin with a pilot car at times). In 2023 they worked on the 1st section north of us up near Rochford. Summer 2024, they have prepared for paving. Summer 2025 paving begins and will be completed. We have decreased the nightly rate to factor in this construction as compared to 2023 rates (over 20% lower).
