About this House

THE SETTING OF A LIFETIME! Less than a half mile off Hwy 385 near the helicopter tours by Custer sits the most amazing property you have ever seen. Drive under the railroad trestle that the Mickelson Trail traverses and into your own magical world of Spruce trees and spring fed creeks with USFS on three sides. Enjoy this fun 3 bed/2 bath cabin/home and get away from the world. There are amazing views of Thunderhead Mountain Range and the larger creek is Tenderfoot Creek. The original cabin took in the Kitchen/dining area and the living room/master bedroom and the other bedrooms and bath were added later. The bedroom in the "nest" can be accessed by the home via spiral staircase and also has an outside entrance. Views from the deck off that room are amazing - no plumbing up there. Several bridges and benches on the grounds to enjoy the amazing setting. One whole side of property borders the Mickelson Trail!
