The place really needs to be updated, the deck feels like it's going to fall apart, it was missing a slat of wood in the corner. The couch needed to be vacuumed. The air conditioners worked great, it stayed cool in the house. The location is nice. The little store they have is nice, if you need a beer or eggs, it's great, the older lady staff was nice enough but the younger one was just rude. The laundry facility is awful, the dryers are falling apart and they don't have any air flow in the building, it was so hot. Overall our stay worked out great for 4 adults and 4 children. The house had 2 rooms, 1 with a king and 1 with a queen, 2 futon beds.

We loved how quiet and serene this lodging was from all the business of Custer. We got all the same experience but less costly and much calmer cabin. The facilities were great- all the convenience of a modern hotel with the charm of a real family run business. We will be returning again and staying here for sure!

Nice place to stay with the family. Couldnt find the pond but the creek was pretty and has a nice area to picnic. Bedding and some could use some updating, but otherwise was great.

A little off the beaten path, this resort offered unique onsite activities, beautiful views, and a relaxing environment. I’d stay again but I’d like to spend a bit more time to truly enjoy all it has to offer.

Very happy with our stay!
It's a quiet, no frills cabin-which was just fine with us! TV worked, wifi worked, beds weren't super plush but we were so tired it didn't matter. I was very happy with our accomodations. Check in was quick and the ladies were friendly. The pool was cool but perfect for the hot day. Would stay again!
