Perfect family vacation spot
The house was perfect! We had a 21 year old son, 70 year old mom, and my wife and I, and everyone had a beautiful room that was spacious and clean. The kitchen was amazing - we made breakfast and dinner most days, and having a dishwasher made it that much better! The location of the home allowed for lots of wildlife including turkeys, deer and marmots(?), and we were lucky enough to be there when the aurora borealis was visible and the views from the house were unbeatable. Having the Custer State Park pass in the house book was an added bonus - we thoroughly enjoyed the park. Thank you for a great visit to Custer!

Great time!
The home and property are very, very nice! Very secluded, but yet very close to town, which makes it very convenient! The home is comfortable, lots of kitchen space, large, wraparound deck, and the hot tub felt awesome once the sun went down and the air cooled. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Great place for our family of 5!
Best vacation ever! Everything was perfect! It was just my husband, three kids and I and we had more than enough room! Another family or two could have easily stayed with us. We loved the kitchen and hot tub the best! We stayed at the end of June and didn’t need to use air conditioning at all! Great place with lots of wild life and room to explore!

Riding weekend
We had a wonderful time with friends exploring trails in Custer area. The home was very nice and clean and had everything we needed. The area was secluded but still so close to town. Will definitely be back!
