The online pictures are very accurate and the home is literally just a block or two from the main hub of shops and restaurants. Recommend eateries were spot on; especially the breakfast and pie/dessert places. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Clean, Cozy and Convenient

Our family of five very much enjoyed our fall getaway to Custer. The cabin was exactly as pictured. It is cute up north cabin theme. It was extremely clean and everything was neat and in working order. Host was responsive, informative and lovely to connect with. Pride and love for the community and property was evident. We loved being able to easily walk to great meals - even in the off season. Totally recommend visiting in the fall. It was quiet and beautiful. Thanks for a great trip and many family memories.

An Excellent Adventure!

This home was perfect in so many ways. It is in the heart of Custer City but very private. The house sits on the upside of the street on an elevator that allows you to keep the window shades open and enjoy the outside deck with total privacy. We had everything we needed for a week. The amenities are well maintained and great quality. We look forward to staying here again soon.

Convenient home in the center of Custer.

Everything went smoothly with our stay at this home. Check-in was quick and easy. Check-out was done with minimal effort, which got us on the road home earlier than expected. We were able to walk to several restaurants and the shops in the center of Custer. The bedrooms were perfect and the beds were comfortable. Despite the temperature almost reaching 100 degrees, the house was comfortable. Would like to stay there again when we go back to the Black Hills.
