Excellent Stay

We enjoyed staying at this property. The house was very clean and comfortable. The host has thought of everything you might need while staying there! Kitchen was well stocked w/ dishes and cooking supplies. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the wildlife. House was in a great location for exploring the Black Hills area! We would definitely stay here again!

A great home away from home

The house was amazing and made a great trip even better. It was the most well stocked house we have stayed in with all of the kitchen essentials that are frustrating to have to buy on vacation. Very clean and comfortable!

Good place for Black Hills vacation

My wife and I enjoyed the house immensely. We made good use of the kitchen and outdoor dining area, and thoroughly enjoyed watching the large flock of wild turkeys that often roamed through the yard and down to the neighbors pond.

Fantastic stay

My husband and I traveled alone on this trip and this home had everything we needed (and more) for our 9 night stay. When booking I was looking for something in a central location with a nice view that had a full kitchen and a table large enough for us to do a puzzle in our evening down times. This place was great. Most of our meals were prepared at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening dinners on the balcony or downstairs patio. It was so peaceful watching the birds, deer and wild turkeys. We were blessed to witness a mama deer give birth to 2 babies right at the base of the tree line on the property. We didn't use the game room downstairs but I can see how it would be fantastic for a family with kids or teens. We were on the go most days seeing the Black Hills, Deadwood, the Badlands and Devils Tower. The house was great to come home to at the end of each day. The only "negative" I have is the Jack & Jill bathroom that is shared between the 2 bedrooms. For us on this trip it didn't matter but we usually travel with another couple and we would not have chosen this house if they were with us. I personally wouldn't want to share a bathroom when trying to get ready in the mornings or after a long day of sight seeing. For us it was perfect. We were able to spread our "stuff" out, cook and do laundry as needed. It was a great home away from home. We really loved everything about it and would highly recommend it.

Fantastic Stay in the Black Hills

We recently stayed at this great property, and it was fantastic. The house is modern, super clean, and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy to cook our meals. The living areas were cozy, with comfy mattresses, though the pillows were a bit flat and could use replacing. There were plenty of linens, but a few more washcloths would have been nice. There were lots of fun things to do, like playing air hockey, foosball, and darts. Outside, we enjoyed the table, chairs, hammock, gas fire pit, and swing set. The spacious garage is perfect for a large vehicle, and the big mudroom and laundry area were handy after our hikes. The views of the Black Hills were beautiful, with lots of trees and a small pond, making it a peaceful spot. We even saw white-tailed deer from the deck! The helpful labels on light switches, in the kitchen, bathrooms, and storage spaces made everything easy to find. The wine fridge and variety of glasses were a nice touch for relaxing in the evenings. The location is great for visiting Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore, and Crazy Horse, and it's a shorter drive to the Mammoth Site and Wind Cave National Park. We mostly cooked at the house, getting groceries from Lynn’s Dakotamart, but we also recommend The Purple Pie Place and Baker’s Bakery & Cafe for eating out. Overall, this property was better than we expected and made a perfect base for our Black Hills adventures!

Wonderful accommodation and location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property is located close to the town of Custer, Sylvan Lake and many other hiking trails and sights for visitors to see. From relaxing on the deck, playing games in the backyard and in the game room in the basement, to the impressive organization and supplies available in the kitchen/bathroom/mudroom...the owners thought of practically everything to make our stay memorable. It is very peaceful place to stay and one we plan to book again someday.

Best VRBO

We have stayed at many VRBOs and this was the cleanliest, the best stocked with essentials (hand soap, paper towels, ziplock bags, etc.) that we have EVER been to. The kitchen was fully stocked like someone lives there at all times. Stocked with spices, small appliances for your convenience too (our favorite was the waffle maker). They even have filtered water from a drinking water faucet (which is RARE), everything was labeled and organized. Not to mention the amazing chef's kitchen with high end appliances. We loved our stay and is the PERFECT location if you're looking to do any of the attractions around Custer. Thanks Stan and Shirley

Home Away From Home

This property had everything that is listed and more! Anything we could possibly want or need was provided and the house was tucked in a quiet neighborhood. It made coming home from the days’ activities relaxing for us parents and the foosball and air hockey tables were used every day by our 2 boys. Most nights we just picked up food and ate it on the deck because it was so beautiful and our family had so much fun playing the yard games. It was a great place to stay to check out all the sights of the Black Hills!

About the host

Hosted by Stan & Shirley Burgers

We have always enjoyed vacationing in the Black Hills with our children over the years. As we near retirement we chose to build this home in the Custer area to be closer to our children and grandchildren who now live in Colorado.

Why they chose this property

We spent about 5 years searching for just the right place to build this home and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. It is close enough to Custer, Hill City & even Rapid City for all of our needs, and yet secluded enough to provide the peace and quiet that we long for as we near retirement.

What makes this property unique

We do hope that you will enjoy your stay at our "piece of heaven" enough to return from time to time and to share what you liked about your stay with your friends and family.
