About this property
Custer Serene – Peaceful Retreat
Welcome to Custer Serene! This newly remodeled home is perfect for families and friends. Nestled by forest on three sides and just 5 minutes from downtown Custer, it offers easy access to hiking, ATV trails, and a nearby swimming pond. Only 5–10 minutes from Custer State Park, Needles Highway, and Crazy Horse, and under 30 minutes to Mt. Rushmore and Wind Cave. With spacious outdoor areas, yard games, and wildlife sightings, it’s the ideal blend of comfort, fun, and adventure!
Welcome to **Custer Serene**, your perfect Black Hills getaway! This newly remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests. Thoughtfully updated with brand-new furnishings and modern touches, it features a fully stocked kitchen equipped with everything you need to cook and dine with ease—ideal for families or groups of friends looking to relax after a day of adventure.
Inside, you’ll find cozy living rooms with comfortable couches and large TVs for movie nights or downtime. Enjoy meals together at the beautiful dining setup, challenge each other on the arcade machine, or unwind with the variety of reading materials and board games available for all ages. There`s something for everyone to enjoy indoors.
Step outside to take in the peaceful views of the surrounding National Forest. The outdoor space is packed with fun—soak in the hot tub, dine al fresco, or fire up the propane grill for a cookout.
