10/10! We have stayed at this house the last 5 out of 6 years we’ve visited Custer. The house is very clean, and the listing is accurate. The hot tub works well, and we love the covered parking area for all the impromptu hail SD gets! The host communicates promptly and effectively, check in and out are very easy.

So glad you enjoyed your trip! Thanks for always choosing Laughing Water Cabin for your SD vacation!
The property was extremely well maintained and clean. Quick backstory- this was the house my mother grew up in and where I spent 2 weeks every summer when I was young. The host was so gracious to leave flowers with a note that said “Welcome home. Enjoy your reunion”. I brought my mother back for her 65th highschool reunion. Such a wonderful stay. I took full advantage of the Michelson Trail passes that were provided. Beautiful walk.

We're so glad we could welcome you home if just for a few days! Thank you for the lovely review.
We’ve stayed in many cabins around the country, and this one was one of the best equipped with everything you might need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. We spent nine days exploring the Black Hills, and this cabin is very convenient to Custer State Park and its hikes and beauty and within reasonable driving distance to Wind Cave National Park sights, the Badlands, and Spearfish and Deadwood in the northern Black Hills.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in the Black Hills and that we could provide your "home away from home"! We'd be happy to have you stay again sometime!
An attractive home away from home with a big yard in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean and so many amenities! My 3 grandsons and I enjoyed our 3 day/2 night adventure with this perfect location in Custer! 2 bedrooms and an air mattress made it possible for everyone to have a sleeping option! The beds were so comfortable! We also enjoyed an evening in the hot tub! EVERYTHING you need is available in the kitchen! Thank you for the bottled water and drinks! Deer were in abundance every evening! We intend to travel here again!

We had a great time staying here. The beds were very comfortable. We ate most of our meals out, but the kitchen was well equipped for any appliance we could have needed. Every single day we saw wildlife. We can't wait to come back to Custer!

Thanks for the great review! Were so glad you enjoyed your stay at Laughing Water Cabin!
It was great. Loved the deer that came into the yard. NIcely located to downtown and the Mikkelson Trail. The fall colors in Custer Park were gorgeous. Too bad the museum closed for the season the day we got there.

We're so glad you enjoyed your trip! So sorry you missed the museum. Off season hours can be a bummer.

Why they chose this property
For many years we have loved the Custer SD area and, when we got the opportunity to purchase our vacation home, Laughing Water Cabin, we jumped at the chance! We purchased it as a family and we love to share it with others when we can't be there to enjoy it ourselves.
What makes this property unique
We found our vacation home one day as we were hiking the Mickelson Trail. It was situated in a nice quiet little area with deer and wild turkeys roaming about. Once we took a look at the inside of the house we were sold! It's located close to anything you need to do in town and centrally located in the Black Hills so that you can enjoy ALL the Black Hills have to offer!
