About Owner
My husband and I have been married for 41 years. Now, as empty nesters, we enjoy the freedom to head for the Black Hills and enjoy the peace and serenity our new home has to offer. It also provides us with memorable family gatherings with our five grandchildren.
Owner purchased this House in 2007
Why Owner chose Custer
My husband and I decided to purchase the Custer home because it is bordered on three sides by Custer State Park and national forest. We enjoy hiking and now can explore thousands of acres of wilderness just a few steps from the front door. We also enjoy riding horses in the Black Hills. The pasture borders Custer State Park. We can enjoy hours of riding in the Park and never take the same trail.
What makes this House unique
When visiting our home, we hope it will be immediately evident the pride and joy we wish to share with our guests. We take suggestions from our guests very seriously and attempt to make our home as comfortable and convenient as possible. Our home borders Custer State Park, so guests enjoy visiting the park and all it has to offer. We are just minutes from the town of Custer, Crazy Horse Memorial, Mt. Rushmore, Sylvan Lake, Wind Cave National Park, and many other popular attractions. Although we are secluded, the roads are excellent.

Everything was just as lovely as pictured!
Clean, comfortable, secluded, surrounded by nature
Well equipped cabin in beautiful setting just outside of Custer convenient to Black Hills/Badlands
I would like to thank Dave and his family for staying at our home and taking such great care. We greatly appreciate our very special guests like Dave and his family and hope they will return again sometime. It is very rewarding knowing they had a memorable vacation. Families like Dave's makes sharing our home very worthwhile and meaningful.
Quiet, Secluded, Clean, and Comfortable
Each year we have the most wonderful guests who vacation during the Sturgis Rally. Sam and his group were exceptional. Our home is actually our second home and we don't consider it a vacation rental. That is why it is complete with all one possibly needs to cook/bake and live comfortably. My husband and I frequently stay at our home to provide TLC to keep it clean and comfortable. I'm glad to report that guests have been very respectful and have treated our home like it was their own. Sam and his party were such people and we hope they know how much we appreciate them.
Family retreat
My husband and I work very hard to make our home a place of comfort and convenience. It's nice to know guests enjoy it as much as we do. Our ultimate reward is when guests decide to return for their next vacation. Hopefully Aubrey and her family will do so. They are always welcome in our home!
Outstanding!!
It was a pleasure sharing our home with Heidi and her family. Although we had never met, our phone conversations felt like we had been long time friends. I am so glad Heidi felt our home was her home. That is exactly our hope for each and every guest.
