Relaxing Great location

This location was centralized for seeing Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, the scenic roadways of Iron Mountain and needles Highway, Custer State Park was close which has a lot of activities. We had deer and wild turkeys visit the property during our week. Everything we needed was available at this property.

Beautiful place!!

Absolutely amazing!! The hosts have thought of everything. The place is close to town yet in a remove area that makes you feel like you are miles away from everything! We enjoyed our evenings with the gorgeous sunsets while viewing the birds and wild life in the distance. Perfect location to tour all of black hills. We did not want to leave.

Great Place To Stay

This was a great place to stay in Custer, SD! The home has been upgraded and has plenty of room for our family of 5 (plus dog). The host had everything we needed. Upon arrival there was a sweet gift basket with items to remember our trip as well as doggy bags, dog treats, and maps/magazines to help us see and do all we wanted while visiting! It was perfect!

Perfect, peaceful home away from home

We loved our stay at this cabin home just south of Custer. Clean, comfortable, well-equipped for the perfect vacation. Relaxing mornings on the patio watching deer & birds; fun evenings playing yard games, grilling, chatting around the firepit. Excellent location close to all Southern Black Hills attractions. We had beautiful weather every day but there were games, puzzles, books, plus 3 TV's for indoor activities. Wish we could have stayed longer & would certainly consider staying again.

Great stay in Custer

Wonderful and inviting stay! Suited our family of five and our chocolate lab just fine. Very close to local attractions and the city of Custer which features many restaurants and places to enjoy. We were not sure how we would feel about a shared space, but rest assured the owner who lives upstairs is a great person and we maybe seen him a couple of times. Felt very private and the location was relaxing!

Great location

This is a spacious, quiet property in a great location close to town and Custer State Park. It was clean and nicely decorated. Beds are ok. We did split up to be more comfortable and a king bed would be nice in the larger bedroom. Parking was easy and close as well. You do hear upstairs conversations and walking but not during usual sleeping hours. A bottle of wine was a nice gift left for us!

Beautiful setting

The location was perfect for seeing all the sites in the area. We spent a week here and visited Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Jewel Cave, Wind Cave, Custer State Park, and Spearfish/Deadwood. We drove several of the scenic drives nearby and hiked multiple days. We had our German Shepard with us and the yard was perfect for him with lots of room to run. The property was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, watching the deer, viewing the stars at night, and chatting with Chuck, the owner.

Custer

Host was great, very accommodating. I didn't catch until after booking that host lived on premises, but wasn't an issue, also probably my mistake but thought there were three beds, not two? We had a great couple of days, and property was easily accessed and clean. Overall value is HIGH for this location.
