Very small but comfortable cabin in a great location. Minutes to Casper, but in a quiet, rural spot. Very convenient location for touring the State Park, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Hall.
The cabin is exactly as listed - it’s small, but we weren’t looking for a lot of space. Everything was clean, the wifi worked great, and it’s in the best location and close to everything we wanted to do. We ended up spending a full day in the cabin due to rain and that was a little cramped but we made the most of it and had a great time. The air freshener was a little aggressive but easily remedied. Would definitely stay here again!
This little cabin was perfect as our home base while we explored the area. It is close to many of the popular attractions and has restaurants and shops very close by. Everything you need. There is no AC but the evenings cool down and with the windows open it is very comfortable.
Super cute, cozy and very clean. The perfect little cabin minutes away from everything! We loved sitting outside by the fireplace watching the stars and listening to the wind rustling through the pine trees. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Buck Horn Lookout and look forward to staying there again in the near future.
It was so easy to book, a great price for a cute little space. Had everything we needed. We had our dog so it was great for him too. Its clean, cozy and a great place to just relax. Just do it.
This property is as listed and was exactly what I was looking for. It is small, which was fine since I was traveling alone, and it would probably have been just fine if my spouse would have been traveling with me. Communication with the owner was prompt and informative. I was very comfortable staying here.
When we found this little piece of heaven, the price was what we could afford. After reading the descriptions of what was available, we still brought food to cook because we knew there was an electric grill which worked out well for us.Sitting on the toilet sideways was weird, lol.The outdoor propane fire pit was really enjoyable first night we got there. Seeing a buck deer bounce through while having coffee in the morning was awesome and seeing turkeys in near by area.This was just a little too small for us in the amount of time we stayed but over all really comfortable. Thank you again for having us.
Nice cabin in the woods with wildlife to watch.
Didn't have an ac and it got hot during my stay after the 1st night i asked for an ac and they got a window unit in within a few hours.
Got locked out and the manager took care of that quickly. I would stay again.
Conveniently located within 6 blocks of downtown Custer where you can buy groceries and see attractions. The cabin is in a semi-private wooded area. We cooked steaks on the electric grill and made potatoes and corn in the microwave. Coffeemaker, coffee and condiments provided; outdoor seating to enjoy a your morning cup. Cool mountain breezes kept us dry and comfortable on a 80 degree day. Great value compared to other lodging options! We get safe and secure our entire visit.

Small tiny house. Area around the cabin contains with weeds that are not suitable for dogs. Did not stay at property upon arrival and chose one of the many other places in town to stay.

Inadequate internet service, mattress needs to be replaced and the toilet you had to sit on it sideways! The toilet should be turned 15 degrees to be able to use it properly. The AC didn’t work and it was a hot box. We tried calling the property management company and it was after hours. That got us nowhere. We checked out 2 days early
