Very beautiful and peaceful property. The dirt road and gravel leading to the property was a little precarious on motorcycles, but we really enjoyed the stay. I would really like to come back and stay a little longer

We stay at VRBO’s quite often, and this cabin was the best! Peaceful and secluded. The cabin was immaculate when we arrived. Decor was perfect. Kitchen was well stocked; even the knives were sharp! We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful, peaceful location. Secluded and private cabin, but close to Custer. Plenty of room for our family of 5. The house had everything we needed! So many cute decorative elements and details throughout the cabin. We loved exploring in the forest across the bridge, watching wildlife, especially the birds. A perfect home base for exploring the Black Hills! Thanks so much, Elaine & Kirby!

Wonderful stay tucked away from the city, very quiet. Host answered all our families questions and went above by giving us recommendations of places to eat and things to see. Home was clean and well taken care of and had a lot of essentials and more! Beautiful views to sit out and enjoy a meal on the deck or coffee in the morning.

Wonderful stay

We had a great stay at the house in Custer. Perfect location to easily explore the Black Hills area (Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park, Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, Badlands). Very spacious and clean. Enjoyed seeing deer in the morning. Would definitely recommend.

The Home was so sparkly clean. I have a great appreciation, For person or persons who are taking care of the property. It is beautiful. It is peaceful. It is everything we wanted with the exception of the bathrooms. In order to use the bathroom, people who are sleeping in the back bedroom have to walk through the middle bedroom. It has a trundle bed. If two people are sleeping in it. It would be very difficult to navigate. It much more easily would accommodate for people as opposed to eight. There are only four chairs in the dining room. We brought some in off the porch. The porches are wonderful. The windows sparkle the entire home is wonderful. The only problem we found the bathrooms a little difficult to navigate. Especially since we had to someone in the middle bedroom. The hosts were very easy to deal with and over the edge accommodating. The kitchen was fully equipped and of course the location was breathtaking. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to use your home.
