The perfect place to stay for your Custer State Park visit.

The property itself was fantastic, equipped with all you could want, but what made it really special was the outside spaces around so you can eat outside and take in the wonderful views of South Dakota. And you're only 2 minutes drive from the town. Also, many thanks to our hosts Crystal and Roy for being so nice and helpful. A great stay.

Good time in cabin

Liked the cabin but I felt it could have been a little cleaner. Maybe some air fresheners would have been nice. The couch definitely needs to be updated. The rug needs to be shampooed. I also think the tv should not be set up high on the wall. It can give a crick in your neck looking up at it. Could just set it on the table for as small as a room it is.

Great little cabin!

Moose Cabin was a charming place to stay. It was clean, had everything we needed, and the bed was comfortable. The location was great! We were able to walk to dinner every evening and to the local grocery store. We were also right in the middle of all of the area attractions. Everything was so convenient. Crystal had her contact information posted on the cabin wall so we could easily reach her. Moose cabin was a great place to stay!

Just right for us!

We came to Custer to visit relatives who live about a mile away. It was just right for us as we spent more time away. It was much homier than a hotel.

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. Met all our needs. The cabin was close to everything in town but it didn’t seem like we were in town. We would definitely stay there again.

Clean and comfortable. EZ check in. Excellent communication with Crystal! Good location overall. Easy access to nice hike up to tower overlooking Custer and hills. Well worth the hike! Close to downtown, but a little bit more of a walk than expected. But no complaints overall. 👍

A Sweet Stop In Custer

We spent two nights in this little dwelling. There was a lovely welcome basket with a handwritten note from Crystal. We had all that we needed to prepare simple meals for our visit to Crazy Horse Memorial, Lead, Deadwood, and Custer State Park. Thank you, Crystal, for everything!

Not fancy, but adequate for our needs

Check in was easy. The place was small, but we were there to hike, so spent little time in the cabin. The bed and couch were comfy and shower had plenty of hot water. Kitchen had necessary items for cooking. We would stay here again.

Custer State Park Buffalo Round Up

Cozy cabin with everything you need for a stay. The touch less check-in was great since we arrived after midnight due to flight delays. This property is well kept and very clean. Convenient location enabled us to walk to restaurants in less than 5 minutes. Drive to Custer State Park for Buffalo Round Up was reasonable (Tip: North Viewing for the Round Up is excellent). You truly feel immersed in the Black Hills! Great stay.
