HUNTER'S CABIN, Perfect in every way for your Black Hills getaway, near Custer

We have added Hunter's Cabin on the same property as Stockade Lake Cabin (VRBO #760445) is located. This makes the perfect addition to our already popular cabin when you are traveling with friends or family who need their own separate space and yet want to be near to share meals and good times. Perfect in every way.....Hunter's cabin is perfect size; large enough for two adults, yet smaller that the big cabin, and minus the tv, thus less costly to rent. With 480 square feet, it has plenty of room to spread out and enjoy, yet cozy for two. Perfect rustic luxury; new queen bed for a good night's sleep, full bath and kitchen, dining area with large windows to enjoy the views, cozy living area with a freestanding fireplace for those chilly evenings or rainy days which can occur at any time, and yet has electric heat to keep an even temperature of y our choice. Perfect outdoor spaces; A covered porch across the front of cabin so you can sit out in all weather and enjoy watching deer and sometimes wild turkeys and even see Stockade Lake across the highway. There is an open patio area on other side off the kitchen with outdoor BBQ and seating area. And we have built a fire pit for your use with firewood, hot dog forks and cooking grate furnished. Hunter's cabin is brand new, but built to look like it has been here for a long time, and is nestled in among old-growth ponderosa pines which have been here likely 100 years or more. Perfect nest to return to after a day of fishing in lake, walking or biking on the bicycle path, also just across the road, or a sightseeing drive through Custer State Park with the entrance about 1500 ft up the road. Perfect headquarters for all your day trips through the hills to enjoy the endless points of interest, and only about a 20 minute drive to Mt. Rushmore. Perfect for those who truly want to bring a pet with them as they travel, as we allow one large dog or two small to medium sized pets. There is a modest pet fee charged at the time of booking.

Great time in the Black Hills area
This was the perfect place for our short vacation - great location for all the interesting spots in the Blackhills, great setup for the 2 of us, very clean, and Roberta was a fantastic host! Not sure we will get back to this area again, but if we do, we will be sure to try and get this cabin again.

Wonderful Cabin
Hunter's Cabin was the perfect size and location for our stay. It's close to Custer State Park which was a great plus for us. The cabin itself was so nicely put together and it was clear a lot of care goes into making sure the guests have everything they need. Roberta was so kind and the fresh homemade cinnamon rolls were phenomenal! We are already talking about making our way back to this cabin in the future. Thanks for a great stay!

Peaceful & Convenient
My husband and I stayed at Hunter’s Cabin for 5 nights. The property is comfortable and quiet. The owner thoughtfully prepared the cabin, making it a home away from home. The location was perfect for our adventures in the area. We especially loved the fire pit (with wood provided) and watching deer.

Wonderful cabin in Custer, SD
My husband and I stayed at Hunter's Cabin for 9 days in August. We came to see the area, all the sights, and for the Sturgis rally. We had a wonderful time. The cabin is so precious, cozy, and in an excellent location. So very comfortable and private/quiet. Roberta was an excellent host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We've definitely stay there again if we return to the area.

Wonderful Cabin
Hunter’s Cabin is a great cabin for two. Wonderful array of amenities as Roberta has thought of everything needed for travelers. A big plus that she allows a dog. It rained every day during our stay but the cabin was so comfortable that spending more time indoors than planned was just fine. The homemade muffins awaiting us was a great bonus to begin our stay. Definitely recommend staying here.

This was a perfect cabin for 2 people and our dog. Roberta our hostess was very responsive, kind and social but never intrusive. This place is perfectly located to everything. Cabin was very clean and generous amount of products for our stay. There are 6 restaurants nearby that accommodate dogs. We went to Custer Wolfe and Bluebell, both were wonderful. We hope to come again.

Great hostess/great cabin
Roberta made our stay very comfortable. She provided everything imaginable. Even bikes and kayaks were made available to us. The cabin was exactly as stated, and we immediately felt at home. She was very kind to provide directions to the property and explained everything we needed to know when we arrived. If we visit the area again, we will hope that Hunter's Cabin is available!

Perfect Honeymoon
My wife and I stayed at Hunter's Cabin on our honeymoon and had an amazing stay. The cabin is perfect for two people, it is cozy yet has a full kitchen and is great for a couple trying to make a getaway. The cabin is located in a great location just outside Custer State Park and near enough to the town of Custer for quick trips into town. The owner is very helpful and easy to get ahold of, and she is more than helpful! Thank you again Roberta!

Perfect cabin!
This cabin was perfect for our visit to the black hills. Roberta and her husband made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived. Nice little extra surprises made it all the better! It was so convenient to be able to do our laundry on the premises. Very short drive into Custer State Park to see the wildlife each evening and then a beautiful, quiet, peaceful cabin to return to. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Charming cabin / Fantastic location
This Cabin and property exceeded our expectations. Roberta and Dick were wonderful hosts. The cabin was spotlessly clean and had every amenity needed to for our vacation in the Black Hills! Continental breakfast items were provided as well as coffee/tea. The location was spectacular. Quiet, yet close to everything you’d want to see and do in this area. We absolutely cannot wait to return ! We wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else! Thank you for generously sharing your slice of heaven with us! Greg and Kristen

Perfect location!
Hunter’s Cabin was the perfect location for our South Dakota adventures! We arrived from visiting Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. It was a little over an hour and a half drive. The Cabin is just a few miles east of Custer so we were able to explore Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, the 1880s Train in Hill City, Keystone, Needles Highway, Iron Mountain Highway, and of course the town of Custer and Custer State Park, all located within about a 25 miles drive. The cabin sleeps 2, probably wouldn’t be comfortable for more than that as it is just one room plus the bathroom. The cabin had everything we needed! The owner has thought of just about anything someone could need and has it in the cabin! The owner is great and the rumors are true, she leaves you with a plate of delicious muffins to start off your stay! As well as some other goodies. We would definitely stay again!

Adorable, Well-Appointed Log Cabin Near Custer, SD
My husband, our Labrador, and I stayed for three nights in this lovely log cabin. It's a new cabin with all of the amenities of home. The furnishings and decor create a very cozy atmosphere, and the Queen-size bed is super comfortable. There's a gas grill and a fire pit available as well as two outside seating areas for watching the deer, Blue Birds, and even a woodchuck! We spent hours sitting on the covered porch taking in the fresh pine breezes and marveling at the proximity of the deer visitors. Custer has so much to offer in the way of lakes, good food, and shopping, as well as breathtaking scenery. Roberta and her welcome pooch, Maggie were a joy to visit with. Roberta is a wonderful hostess. She cares greatly that her guests enjoy their stay. She goes above and beyond providing her guests with lovely treats. Be sure to read Roberta's story about how her adorable log cabin came to be. ~Jill D.
