About this property

On the Mickelson Trail: Log Home Perfect for families

The interior of our cabin is just a few years old and still looking fresh and new!

This 3 bedroom 2 bath log cabin offers over 1500 square feet of vacationing space. The interior of the cabin is modern with some rustic flair and offers a clean, fresh space to relax. Located on one private acre, the back yard has direct access to the Mickelson Trail and overlooks a private horse ranch. There are two queen beds, 3 single beds (NOT bunkbeds) and a queen-sized pull out sleeper. We also have a roll-away bed that can be placed in one of the bedrooms or in the living area. Fully furnished kitchen, laundry room, wifi, television and fireplace, A/C. We'd love for you to be our guests!

House worked great for us and just under 10 minutes drive in to Custer. I was a little nervous with my little kids being outside as the house is near the highway but we kept a close eye and it was fine. The grill and outdoor table and chairs were nice to have and the rooms worked well for us - we put the day bed in the room with the three twin beds so all four could sleep in one room. The stars were amazing to view from the house being away from any city lights.

Great Space Inside and Out!

The house was perfect for two families with kids to stay. Check-in was smooth, the house was thoroughly cleaned, and the yard was well cared for. The house is very near a busy highway. However, there is enough yard space and our kids were old enough to stay far away from it. It was perfect for the kids to explore and run around while also being easily supervised. There was a power outage for a few hours during our stay and were impressed with Nicole's prompt response and that the cabin has backup power for the WiFi to make phones still usable. While waiting for the power company to restore power to the area, we loved grilling out and enjoying the trail just outside. We would stay here again and again next time we are in the area, we loved it so much!

Great place to stay in Custer!

This was our second stay at this cabin in Custer. Nicole is an excellent host, great communication and has thought of every little detail throughout the cabin! The cabin is spacious and provides everyone room to spread out after a long day of checking out the sights in the Black Hills.

Cozy Cabin

This property was the perfect place to stay while we explored the Black Hills area! It had everything we needed, communication was easy, and the location was convenient. We enjoyed the large yard and the access to the trail. After full days of hiking and sight seeing, it was nice to come back and relax in the coziness of the cabin!

Great Cabin

We were here in SD to take my daughter to Mount Rushmore and wanted something other than the “hotel” experience where we could cook and do laundry after long days of seeing the sights. This cabin was PERFECT and the owners could not have been more helpful or hospitable with their home and recommendations. I highly recommend this property and would stay again in a heart beat

Black Hills Home away from Home

Very nice place. Enjoyed having all the comforts of home. The layout was very thoughtful and efficient. Close enough to the area attractions to be easy drive but far enough out to not be in the hustle and bustle of the town. Suited our families needs wonderfully. Loved this place!
