Hillside Country Cabins

Hillside Country Cabins, formally known as the "Deer Huts" and/or "Hillside Country Cottages," was established in 1931, making it one of the longest cabin rental properties in the Black Hills. In 1931, some Original 1929 cabins were moved from a Black Hills work camp to our current location. When these original cabins were brought down, they were built on a shale rock foundation, which still holds up the original cabins to this day. In 1986, there was a huge forest fire that jumped over the hill across from the property and amazingly, it did not destroy this property. You can see on the hills where the huge blaze went through. Additionally, in 2006, there was a fire that destroyed the front house and office areas. The office was rebuilt where it was originally located. The larger Real Log Cabin homes (Cabins 7, 8, 9, and 10) were built around the 1997-time frame, and around 2007-2008, the Silver Mountain Lodge (#18) was built. We are still investigating the long history of this property and the old abstracts that date back to the 1800's. As far as we know, this is one of the oldest cabin rental/camping grounds in this area that is still in operation.
