The property was extremely well maintained and clean. Quick backstory- this was the house my mother grew up in and where I spent 2 weeks every summer when I was young. The host was so gracious to leave flowers with a note that said “Welcome home. Enjoy your reunion”. I brought my mother back for her 65th highschool reunion. Such a wonderful stay. I took full advantage of the Michelson Trail passes that were provided. Beautiful walk.

An attractive home away from home with a big yard in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean and so many amenities! My 3 grandsons and I enjoyed our 3 day/2 night adventure with this perfect location in Custer! 2 bedrooms and an air mattress made it possible for everyone to have a sleeping option! The beds were so comfortable! We also enjoyed an evening in the hot tub! EVERYTHING you need is available in the kitchen! Thank you for the bottled water and drinks! Deer were in abundance every evening! We intend to travel here again!

We’ve stayed in many cabins around the country, and this one was one of the best equipped with everything you might need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. We spent nine days exploring the Black Hills, and this cabin is very convenient to Custer State Park and its hikes and beauty and within reasonable driving distance to Wind Cave National Park sights, the Badlands, and Spearfish and Deadwood in the northern Black Hills.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Especially loved having the hot tub to soak in every night after we returned from the days adventures. Location is a perfect base to explore Custer SP, Rushmore, Wind Cave, Black Hills NF, and Jewel Cave. We also enjoyed the deer that showed up every evening. We cooked every night and found the kitchen to have everything we needed. It's well equipped with thoughtful touches like coffee. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Cabin was clean and had all the amenities we needed. It is in a quiet location several blocks away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Custer is a very nice town that has a little bit of everything and we found it to be less than 20 minute drive to just about everywhere we wanted to go in the hills. The owner was responsive and check in was simple.

Why they chose this property

For many years we have loved the Custer SD area and, when we got the opportunity to purchase our vacation home, Laughing Water Cabin, we jumped at the chance! We purchased it as a family and we love to share it with others when we can't be there to enjoy it ourselves.

What makes this property unique

We found our vacation home one day as we were hiking the Mickelson Trail. It was situated in a nice quiet little area with deer and wild turkeys roaming about. Once we took a look at the inside of the house we were sold! It's located close to anything you need to do in town and centrally located in the Black Hills so that you can enjoy ALL the Black Hills have to offer!
