**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.

Our family enjoyed staying here, and would definitely return if the opportunity presents itself. It was a nice retreat after hiking and seeing the sites in the Black Hills area.

Beautifully decorated and cozy space with all the amenities we needed during our stay! Convenient location very close to downtown shopping and restaurants. Loved the open floor plan and the kids especially enjoyed the bunk beds. Don’t hesitate to book… highly recommend this property!

Nice Place in Custer

This was a nice place to stay in Custer and easy to navigate to and from multiple locations in the area. This is the lower unit of a dual rental, which I missed on the property details. We could hear the renters above but luckily they were quiet at night.

The pictures and description of this property match perfectly with what you actually get. Very nice open concept and great kitchen with everything you need. Really appreciate the little extras (garbage bags, extra paper towel, dishwasher detergent etc.) Bunk beds were great, and having the 2nd bedroom on the other end was nice to have a little distance. We did’t utilize the outdoor grill or small patio area, but when we pulled up 4 deer were sleeping right by the front door, it was a great welcome for our kids! The location of this property is what was the best part for us! Besides being across the street from a baseball field, playground, and 9 hole golf course, the downtown was great with plenty of food, and shops. Plus, every drive we took, whether to Custer State Park, Wildlife Loop, Needles Hwy, Sylvan Lake, Keystone, and Hot Springs was somewhere between 25-45 minutes from the house. Everything is so beautiful that you’ll love each drive. This house was perfect for everything we needed! Thank you!
