It's a very comfortable and cozy house. It equipped with anything you need for daily living. The instruction from owner is clear. We enjoyed our 3-night stay here!
We enjoyed our whole stay. The town is very charming. The house is perfectly set up. We did not need anything while we were here and just enjoyed our time here in Custer.
This was the perfect cottage for a very enjoyable stay in Custer. The owners go above and beyond to make sure everything you need is at your fingertips.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Lesa. It was our pleasure to host your group. Do look us up again should your travel plans bring you back to the Black Hills!
This home in Custer was perfect for us exploring the area. It had all the comforts home and was clean and cozy. We enjoyed being able to walk to town for meals when desired, especially after we'd done so much driving.
House was just as advertised, was clean, and was perfect for our stay (4 adults, 2 kids). Great location as it was in walking distance to center of town, very close to Custer state park, and mt Rushmore. Would definitely stay here again.

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay, Chad! Do look us up again if you're ever planning another trip back to the Black Hills. Always welcome.
This property is fantastic! Great location, extremely clean and has everything you need for a getaway. Stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and cozy environment. The welcome guide was so thoughtful and gave great recommendations in the area. We would definitely stay again!
Adam’s house was perfect! It was very cute, super clean, and in a great location. We easily walked to restaurants and shops. It was perfect for our family of 4 while visiting the Black Hills!
Great house very close to most sights in the Black Hills
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very well located near downtown Custer, very clean, nicely decorated, and with everything we needed for our stay. The host has great attention to details and even included toiletries such as toothbrushes in the bathrooms.
What a nice property! Home was everything we saw and read about! Walked to dinner every night due to its great location! Less than a 10 minute drive to the park! Great location
The online pictures are very accurate and the home is literally just a block or two from the main hub of shops and restaurants. Recommend eateries were spot on; especially the breakfast and pie/dessert places. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly. Would definitely stay again.
