Great place to stay near Custer State Park!

Convenient location overlooking a quiet horse camp. The kids enjoyed visiting with the horses each evening. This is an actual cabin so you are going to get an authentic experience with an actual loft.

This place was absolutely wonderful! It is a three-bedroom cabin that sits atop the hill in a horse camp. The front porch offers a relaxing opportunity to sit and watch the horses and enjoy a cup of coffee. There is an enclosed porch in the back of the cabin if you prefer a view of the woods. The cabin has plenty of space for 10 people. Lisa was extremely responsive both before and during our stay. The people who are keeping their horses at the can are very friendly and felt like a big family. And the location was outstanding—close to Custer and within a 30-minute drive to Mount Rushmore, Hill City, Custer State Park, and Wind Cave National Park. Just down the road from Jewel Cave. We highly recommend!

Beautiful Ranch Close to Everything

This location was exactly as described and fit my 3 teens with no problem. The hosts were great and very friendly. My only suggestion would be to get softer beds. The beds were a little hard to my families liking.

Peaceful and Beautiful

This cabin was the perfect getaway home for the 7 of us! We ranged in age from 7 to 69, and all of us were very comfortable. The house had everything we needed and then some. The property is quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the horses. We even got to watch a group of hot air balloons land in the field across the street! Lisa was a fabulous host. We would definitely stay here again!

We were three couples traveling together, and this was an excellent accommodation for us. Beds and pillows were comfortable, plenty of towels and everything was clean. A nice setting in the trees, but be aware that the cabin is on a horse camp property. Absolutely no problem for us. Nice to see all the horses. The camp was very quiet at night. Some noise from the adjacent highway during the day, but not obnoxious. Nice place to stay.
