Excellent location near Custer Park. Enjoyed several excellent hikes while visiting. Nice kitchen and supplies with very responsive hosts and tasty banana bread. Only complaint was the bed, we are not memory foam mattress lovers and got very little sleep. Location close to local grocery store for supplies as well as great restaurants. Enjoyed burgers at the brewery and excellent food at the Begging Burro.
