The home was nice, nothing fancy but a nice getaway to get "out of town." The cabin was spacious to spread out, so nice having the outdoor areas to sit & enjoy - watch the deer, and a great central location to travel to see all the things! We caught the tail end of Sturgis crowd and that was a lot of fun to see all the motorcycles. I'd recommend to people!

Great stay

We enjoyed our Vrbo and it was a beautiful house. We were always greated by a mom and 2 baby deer in the mornings and evenings on the property. It was a great location, it was still close to town but secluded. Also very centrally located to all the places we visited!

We really enjoyed the central location of Custer, and the house was so warm and cozy in the Black Hills during the last of November! The kids were in the hot tub outside when the temperature was 18F degrees!

Family vacation in the Black Hills

The property and views are amazing! It's great to have your own private mountain residence, walkable to Custer! We appreciated the children's toys and books. We had all the amenities we needed.

Perfect Location

Beautiful location and easy access to all there is to see in Custer or Keystone. The property is spacious and the yard was the perfect outdoor playground for our kids. We loved that there were toys and books to play with in the house as well. It all felt very private too. Thanks for a great stay!

Loved the wrap around porch

Wonderful property! Centrally located by so many great destinations. House up on the hill above the city of Custer so easy to get groceries, or stop by the great Mexican restaurant in town or quickly get to the main roads yet you feel very remote. Wrap around porch let us sit in the sun or shade any time of day!

Cabin was what we expected

We needed a cabin close to our family in Hot Springs and this did exactly that. Its location just outside Custer made it easier for us to get Pizza from town. It made for a nice getaway before the new year begins. Thanks!

Exactly what we needed!

We came here for my 40th birthday and it was perfect! Cute cabin with wilderness feel yet close to town- we had a campfire one night and it was amazing to star gaze.very nice that the lower level is another living space since we had a bigger group. Coffee on the wrap around deck watching a deer and her fawn was definitely a highlight!

Perfect house. Perfect location

7 friends traveling together and we had a wonderful stay at Needles Nest. Plenty of room for everyone. The location was convenient to all the fun activities close to Custer. The nearby Big Rock Trail was a pleasant surprise with an overlook of Custer. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you Candace for a great stay.

Cozy Nest

We had a wonderful time staying in what truly can be described as a nest, you’re nestled in and surrounded by nature, rocks, trees, etc. Your close to town, but you don’t feel like it. We enjoyed the yard the house and the surroundings.

The setting among the Pines and boulders was perfect. Every day we were visited by deer and turkeys. The boys enjoyed the hot tub and outside fire setting. The location was easily accessible to Mt. Rushmore, Hill City 1880 Train, Wind Cave NP and especially Custer SP.Correspondence with the owner was wonderful.
