Great stay in Custer!

We were all in SD for the first time. We went to run Crazy Horse half marathon and check out the sites. We loved the accommodations. There was plenty of room, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and we were in walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. Adam was very responsive and they were kind enough to put together a booklet of info about the house, restaurants and sites that was very useful. Thank you Adam, for a great place to stay in beautiful SD!!

Very nice, just like the photos of the property.

Everything was as we expected. Very comfortable for 3 couples. The only thing I can think of to make it better at this time would be for maybe a few more dishes and bowls in the cupboard. We ran the dishwasher a little more often than we otherwise would have.

Great location in Custer

Ruby Suites is a great house in the heart of Custer. We visited in the off season, so Custer was quiet, but the house had plenty of room for our family of 5, which included 3 teenage boys to spread out and relax after a day of hiking and/or sight seeing. Adam is easy to communicate with the and house is at it looks in the pictures. Would definitely stay again.

Heart of the Black Hills

Wonderfully clean and well located. We were looking for something that would let us walk to downtown Custer. This location was great for that. It fronts a main highway, so the price for the location is traffic noise during the day. Quiets down nicely in the evening. The front deck is a wonderful place to welcome the day with AM coffee. Can't really think of any downsides other than the house number can be hard to spot. Location is not hard to find once you know where it is. As an added bonus, you are right next door to a great little ice-cream shop. Avoid if you're on a diet - otherwise YUM!

This property was perfect for three couples biking the Mickelson Trail. We had space for gathering and space to spread out. The house was well stocked and comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Adam W

Host profile image
Hi there, I'm Adam. I had the good fortune to grow up in Custer. I moved away to attend college in Minnesota, but I still have friends in the area and will forever be returning to the magic of the Black Hills. My sister lives nearby, too.

Currently, my wife Minha, our 6-year-old son, and I live on the West Coast, but we always look forward to returning to the Hills whenever we can. We love exploring new cultures, meeting interesting people, trying new foods, and making sure everyone has a good time along the way!"

Why they chose this property

My wife and I purchased this property in Custer because of its solid build quality and prime location. We’re fortunate to also own another vacation rental just a few blocks away, Cozy Custer Cottage. Hosting guests and helping them explore the Black Hills has been such a rewarding experience for us! We take great pride in hearing about the memorable adventures our guests have and are committed to making sure everyone has a 5-star stay.

What makes this property unique

This property was fully renovated in 2024 and it's in a fantastic location! You’ll be within walking distance of everything—restaurants, breweries, historic downtown Custer, candy shops, gift stores, ATV rentals, and more. Plus, it’s the perfect base for exploring the top attractions of the Black Hills, including Custer State Park, Crazy Horse Monument, Needles Highway, Sylvan Lake, Mount Rushmore, and more!
