**What to expect during the winter** While winter is generally mild we do experience inclement weather and large amounts of snow can fall in a short period of time. As such we DO recommend having a 4-wheel drive vehicle during the winter months. Our driveway will typically be plowed WITHIN 24 hours of receiving 6 inches of snow, but WILL NOT be plowed after every snowfall. For this reason we strongly encourage guests to drive AWD/4-Wheel drive vehicles. We also DO NOT offer snow shoveling service during your stay but provide snow shovels available for your use.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

this property was so warm and welcoming! Beautifully decorated, clean, and restful. As we explored the surrounding area it was a great place with all the amenities we needed to return to at the end of the day. Highly recommend this place in Custer, SD!
The Dens was a perfect place to center our visit to the Black Hills. It was very easy to access every destination on our list of places to go, and was a comfortable home away from home. Checking in was a breeze and our stay went off without a single hitch. It was perfectly suited for our needs.
Beautiful cabin and close to all parks, attractions and restaurants.
Beautiful cabin in Custer, SD. Very well constructed and decor was beautiful. Kitchen had everything a person could want to cook. Nice deck to sit outside and enjoy the evening. Very close to excellent restaurants and shops.
We had a wonderful time with Custer State Park being our favorite. Very close to Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse.
