About The 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.
The Owner purchased this house in 2007
Why The Owner chose Black Hills
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.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Your home was wonderful and located in such a beautiful setting. We can’t thank you enough for allowing us the experience. We had no idea that there were so many things to do in the area. We explored Custer State Park and Badlands, went to Rushmore and Crazy Horse, Deadwood and Lead, drove over to Devil’s Tower, drove Iron Mountain and Needles highways, as well as stopping at whatever interested us along the way (Hill City is pretty cool), yet felt we only scratched the surface. We could easily have spent another week and, now that we know the lay of the land, plan to return to explore in more detail, especially to hike in the Black Hills.I think my favorite experience may have been when I walked out into the yard about 2:00 AM the first night we were there. The stars were amazing. I can only compare it to camping in Capitol Reef National Park in southern Utah, which boasts the darkest night skies in the lower 48. Big Horn Lodge was equally spectacular, if not more so. I felt like I was in a planetarium.Thanks again for everything. It was truly a great vacation.Jay P.S. I’ve already mentioned your place to a few equally adventurous friends.

Well equipped cabin in beautiful setting just outside of Custer convenient to Black Hills/Badlands
Marletta was very helpful before and during our stay. Cabin abuts Custer State forest convenient to Rushmore, beautiful scenic drives and an easy day trip to Badlands and Devils tower. Very comfortable cabin with great beds, all cooking equipment and private setting with wild turkeys and deer roaming the premises. If you want a great outdoor experience and comfortable surroundings, this is your place. Couldn't ask for nicer hosts.
Clean, comfortable, secluded, surrounded by nature
Seven family members comfortably shared this house. We loved the privacy and gorgeous natural scenery. Our drives to nearby attractions were reasonable in multiple directions. This is a great choice for a Custer vacation if you like to retreat for peace and quiet.
Quiet, Secluded, Clean, and Comfortable
We stayed for ten days in this rental. The home was clean, functional, and very secluded. We wanted to be away from the rest of the world and this was perfect. The owners are very nice, and very respectful. Our group was very happy with the layout.
We had deer pass through daily, coyotes on occasion, rabbits and even a skunk on one occasion. We saw big horn sheep and buffalo in around Custer.Very peaceful, and a perfect getaway for our group of seven.
I would stay here again.
Family retreat
Our biannual family trip went great at this home. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room to spread out in and out of the house. It is very nicely located to multiple sites and yet secluded enough that you have privacy to visit. The owners are very hospitable and we greatly appreciated them sharing their home. It is well equipped with everything you need to cook a meal and relax. We also were able to do some hiking just out the door from the house which we enjoyed. One of our favorite things was seeing the group of wild turkeys everyday with their babies. Big Horn Lodge is an excellent vacation home choice!
Outstanding!!
The owners have created a beautiful and peaceful place to relax and be close to all the Black Hills has to offer. Coming back to their home made you feel like you were home. Marietta and Roger are wonderful and caring people. Can't wait to come again!
Great Property right in the heart of Custer State Park
We had a fantastic stay. No negatives about this property. The things we liked were: It was close enough to Custer that running to town for food was quick. It had a great fire pit. It was adjacent to trails in Custer State Park. We loved the artwork throughout the house. It had great cellphone reception. It had a wraparound deck that was perfect for taking in the view. Tons of wildlife right out our front door. It will be our new Black Hills getaway.
