About this property
Little Italy- Hilltop Cottage
This recently remodeled home has been furnished to an excellent standard. It’s the ideal retreat for a secluded & nature-bound stay. The property is less than 2 miles from downtown Custer, less than 1 mile from Rocky Knolls Golf Course, and 5 miles from Custer State Park. We believe it’s the ultimate location to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Black Hills.
