Perfectly located for everything in the Black Hills
We had 5 adults stay here for a wedding in Custer State Park. This was close to everything in town as well as all the major tourist attractions in the area. The house was clean with everything you could need while staying there. The only thing we thought it could use was more/brighter lighting, but it didn’t deter us from a great stay. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
