Beautiful place! Perfect for a larger group and has everything you need for a vacation stay. Close to activities but also suited well with the pool table and games to enjoy time if you just want to stay in. We loved our stay and would definitely select this home again.

We held a family gathering for a group of 16. We used all 8 bedrooms. The house was beautiful and worked well for our group. The host was super friendly and helpful when I called her. I highly recommend this property.

Cherry on Top was a great place to spend time with family. From the hot tub, pool table and kids toys everyone had a great time. Location was just perfect if you wanted to get away from the city but still have access to local businesses. Host was very helpful and easy to access. It’s a comfortable home away from home!

Wow. What a beautiful house. We had eight adults and there was more than enough room for all. Really enjoyed serving meals at the huge island and huge dining room table. The hottub was excellent after a long day of hiking. We would definitely stay here again. Very clean and well maintained as well.

This is an amazing place with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. It also has an open space for everyone to gather. The outdoor area includes a hot tub, seating with a gas fire pit, a little playhouse, and toys/games. Our whole family had a great time!

This house was great for our family reunion. The kitchen, dining, and deck area is very spacious for cooking and eating. The bedrooms are also spacious and comfortable. The kids had so much fun with the toys on the property and climbing on the rocks around the property. The house is centrally located to so many activities in the Black Hills.

If you're planning a trip to the Black Hills, specifically the Custer area, don't by-pass Cherry on Top Lodge! From the handy location giving access to local attractions and shopping to the beautiful lodge perched on a hill, this place is amazing! We loved the woodsy decor, spacious rooms, huge deck with deer wandering by in the morning and two woodchucks sunning on the large rock formation in the back. The beds were so comfortable we asked our hostess for the brand name! There were no children in our group but had there been, the playhouse and multiple games would have been a hit.We did enjoy playing cornhole and had lively card games in the evenings. And then, due to a mishap with the microwave caused by one of our group (oops - me) putting in a cup with a metal edge, we had the privilege of meeting our hostess, Chantelle, in person when she delivered a new appliance. She could not have been more concerned for our well-being or less attentive to our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with her and told her we plan to return for another visit in the future. I can't say enough good about our experience and highly recommend Cherry on Top Lodge!
