Three generation family vacation

Our stay at the Blue Roof Bungalow was a perfect fit for our three-family vacation. It had just the right bedroom set up, a large kitchen and plenty of living and activity space for our eleven family members. We enjoyed playing ping pong and corn hole in the garage on rainy days. Watching the wildlife pass through the neighborhood and the back yard patio was an evening hit. The use of the Custer State Park pass was a bonus. Thanks to our hostess who was available and very helpful.

Amazing location - spacious and updated.

Wonderful location - host was available if needed but very through in descriptions and checking in and out. Spacious and was nice with two floors- place had spices and other things needed as well. Would definitely recommend for anyone with a family of 5 or more. Oh and the deer and wild turkey walking around the property was a plus as well.

Vacation home in Custer,SD was ideal !

A Beautiful vacation home which was centrally located in Black Hills. The house was spotless with beautiful spaces inside. The home was very well set up to meet all our needs. The extras and the treats provided by the Host were fun! The brochures and welcome book of the nearby parks and memorials were so helpful. Thank you for Custer State Park Entrance tag! Deer and Wild Turkey walked by to say hello… we couldn’t have had a more wonderful experience. Thank you again!!

Loved it!

The house was great - even better than the pictures, super clean, and lots of thoughtful touches throughout. The double living rooms/dining rooms gives a big group a lot of space to spread out - and our kids loved having the basement to themselves. We also loved the town of Custer and the location of the house in relation to town. The neighborhood is quaint and wooded, yet you are close enough to walk downtown for restaurants and shopping. And of course, the Black Hills are gorgeous and there is so much for people who love the outdoors (like us) to do. Our family had the best time and we are so glad we came!

Cool weekend but warm family feels 3

I am a pre-preplanner. I was worried about a few things, and the owners had no problem with me reaching out to them via Facebook Messenger. It took such a weight off my shoulders!My daughter was looking at pictures and noticed the table looked like it seated a lot less than the 8 members of our party. By the time we arrived, the table was set with plenty of chairs.We loved the fact that the bathrooms were located on both levels, and were stocked with free samples. Plenty of dishes, towels and bedding.The grandsons enjoyed having two floors to run around and play, especially as the weather was very cool and damp. However, if it had been warm, every closet had an electric fan for our use. We still found opportunities to walk around the neighborhood, and everyone was so friendly. My husband was thrilled to observe the deer sleeping in the yard and turkey across the road.This may not have been one of the fanciest homes we've ever stayed in, but it certainly felt like a home we could put our feet up and simply relax in. If we ever return to Custer, this will be the house for us...again!

Clean and Conveniently Located

This home was easy to find and near the highway, which was perfect in the Black Hills because we were off to all the beautiful sights each day. The location was great! We visited Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, Custer State Park, rode the 1880s Train at Hill City, rode horses at Hollingsworth Horses, visited Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore. All were all less than 3o minutes away. We also went to Hot Springs which was only about 40 minutes. We saw deer and turkeys often in the yard which was fun! Much of the interior is new. The kitchen and bathrooms were gorgeous and clean. The appliances and most of the kitchenware seemed brand new and worked great. (We only missed a muffin tin and dishtowels, but dish soap and dishwasher detergent were provided.) My kids said the upstairs bunk beds were really comfy. All three could fit in one room since there was a bed to pull out from under the bunks. The kids also LOVED the game table in the lower level. I'm not sure if the house has AC, but we were able to keep it a comfortable temperature by opening windows at night on the hotter days we were there. A pass to for Custer State Park was included for our use which was awesome! Overall, we were really happy with our stay and recommend it to others.
