The Blue Bird Cabin

Welcome to the Blue Bird Cabin at Backroads Inn and Cabins. This cozy one bedroom cabin is set apart tucked amidst the pine trees. It offers a queen bed in the main room along with a full kitchen and dining area. There is a second room full of windows looking out to the surrounding forest. Enjoy fresh air and listen to water run down stream on this 8 acre property surrounded by National Forest. You will feel complete peace while also being minutes away from Mt Rushmore (2.4 miles) and Custer State Park (15 mins)

Community Pool (heated) open 10am to dark Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Peaceful Getaway

Really happy with the cabin. Very cozy and comfortable. Location was great and easy to access. The kitchen was well equipped and plenty of towels and toiletries for our stay. Would recommend, and would stay again!
