About this property

Amazing Cabin on 15 Acres of Woods Adjacent to Custer State Park

The Laughin Place allows you to spend less of your precious family and vacation time driving and spend more of that precious time doing the things that matter. Right in the middle of it all, with easy access to highways and attractions, The Laughin' Place is a mile high, and is nearly surrounded by both the fabulous Custer State Park and the spectacular Black Hills National Forest. Both offer you easy access to hundreds and hundreds of acres of hiking, animal sighting, and exploring. So close to everything, yet so private.

Our cabin is a tri level home, very easy and comfortable. Much of it is finished in knotty pine, with a soaring slate chimney. The kitchen is updated with hickory cabinets, side by side refrigerator and glass top range. We have all the conveniences you'd expect at home. The loft looks out over the living room below, and features a door leading to its own private outdoor deck. The lower level features an impressive slate wall, a second kitchen, and walks out on to our lush yard.

Bathrooms remodeled and refreshed in 2021. Walk in showers in both bathrooms now, a nice update.

The main floor master bedroom has a king size TempurPedic bed. The loft has two twin beds and also a day bed with a trundle if you need it, a total of four twin beds. The lower bedroom has a queen size bed. The lower level den has a sofa.

Our expansive decks allow a person or two to relax with a quiet cup of coffee in the morning sun. Later on, you can watch the evening shadows fall, reliving your day with friends and family around the propane fire table.

The Laughin' Place is ideally located for your Black Hills vacation plans. Custer State Park is literally a stone's throw. Custer City is quick trip by car or an easy bike ride, coming and going. Outdoor fun abounds in every direction. Biking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, running and exploring.

About the area

Custer

About the host

Hosted by Brett and Lori Koenecke

Host profile image
We're family people, professionals who were born in South Dakota and still live and work here. We've spent a lot of our family time in the Black Hills over the years and so very many of our family memories have "the Hills" in the background.

Why they chose this property

The Laughin' Place wasn't easy to find. We looked for years to find a cabin property which is in the middle of everything and still just a bit out of the way. Our place is a great base for a Black Hills adventure, no matter how many days. We have a place which is so close to everything yet still so private. With the Park on two sides and the Forest on a third, no one will be seeing many human neighbors from our windows and decks. Trees, rocks, hills, flowers, grass, deer, turkeys, foxes, chipmunks and more.

What makes this property unique

Our place is close to town without feeling like it, really at all. Easy to get in and out and onto the highway system for your day trips around the Black Hills. Fun to use a back entrance into the park as well. You'll be finding the places that others don't see on their trips.
