Wonderful Historic Cabin
It was a beautiful Cabin rural yet close to downtown Custer. Tea or coffee in the morning on the dexk overlooking the Bulls was an add benefit.

NICE LOCATION
Overall a very enjoyable stay. Location in Custer was excellent to area activities. There were some areas of the home that were in need of repair and looked like they had been this way for sometime. Nice home for a larger group.

Great cabin in a beautiful area!
Had a great time at this cabin. Loved the outdoor area, just wish it wasn’t so close to the main road. They had fun outdoor and indoor games for the kids, the kitchen had just about everything you would need. Cheryl was friendly and gave us a full tour of the cabin when checking in. Great place for a large group.

A perfect spot
This was our second visit to Custer and we loved this house's proximity to town, the state park, and other destinations. The interior is spacious and very well taken care of. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were updated, decks were gorgeous. Lots of beautiful outdoor space for the kids to run around and climb on rocks. There was some road noise when sitting on the side deck especially, but for us the trade-off of being so close to town was worth it.

Family Reunion
Perfect! Each family had their own rooms, bed numbers fit us exactly. Ample parking, fire pit was great and kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. We want to make this an annual trip to this same house! Kids loved the rocks to climb and enjoyed "Martin" the Marmet when he showed up. Even the cows were friendly! Host was a dear.

Beautiful location!
We stayed at this property for a family reunion. It was the perfect size for our family. Beautiful location, comfortable furnishings. Owners were easy to communicate with. I really appreciated that the owners let us know upfront that the week we booked was the Sturgis motorcycle rally. We decided to keep it booked anyway and have no regrets. Would stay here again!

Wonderful Vacation!
We loved this lodge/cabin. It's in a great location, great scenery on the grounds, and wonderful owners. Cheryl and Frank are very welcoming and gave great suggestions for outings and eating places. The lodge/cabin was very clean and had everything you could need for an away from home stay. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in a unique, historical cabin. We definitely will be contacting them when vacationing in the area again.

Wonderful!
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin near Custer. This was a perfect homebase for exploring Custer State Park, The Needles, Mount Rushmore and the Badlands. The cabin was spacious, comfortable and well stocked. The hosts were friendly and responsive. We loved the freshly baked banana bread!

Love this cabin!
Beautiful property with an amazing pond that attracted wildlife, a very nice fire pit stoked and ready to go. Plenty of outdoor space. Perfect for a large family getaway. The owners pay extra attention to things like full bird feeders and games, books and child friendly plates and tumblers. We will recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to visit the Custer area!

Best host ever
If you are in Mt Rushmore, this is the place to stay. It is very close to crazy horse, custer state park and Mt Rushmore memorial park. Host Cherly and her husband are exceptionally amazing host. They personally welcomed our family, they also had some goodies for our family. We had amazing experience .

Loving Custer!
We were in Custer for a wedding as well as visiting local attractions. The house was so perfect-spacious, well maintained and in a great location for all our needs. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to enjoy the property! Would definitely recommend if you have large family/friends who need a place to spread out, it had everything! PS: the cookies and banana bread were a definite unexpected treat!
