Great Space Inside and Out!
The house was perfect for two families with kids to stay. Check-in was smooth, the house was thoroughly cleaned, and the yard was well cared for. The house is very near a busy highway. However, there is enough yard space and our kids were old enough to stay far away from it. It was perfect for the kids to explore and run around while also being easily supervised. There was a power outage for a few hours during our stay and were impressed with Nicole's prompt response and that the cabin has backup power for the WiFi to make phones still usable. While waiting for the power company to restore power to the area, we loved grilling out and enjoying the trail just outside. We would stay here again and again next time we are in the area, we loved it so much!

House worked great for us and just under 10 minutes drive in to Custer. I was a little nervous with my little kids being outside as the house is near the highway but we kept a close eye and it was fine. The grill and outdoor table and chairs were nice to have and the rooms worked well for us - we put the day bed in the room with the three twin beds so all four could sleep in one room. The stars were amazing to view from the house being away from any city lights.

My parents, husband and I had a terrific 4- day stay. The cabin home is beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. Nicole has thought of every detail necessary for a pleasant, convenient stay. The furniture, beds and linens were comfortable. The kitchen was well-furnished. The decor was artistic and unique. Five stars! Highly recommend!

This was our second stay at this cabin in Custer. Nicole is an excellent host, great communication and has thought of every little detail throughout the cabin! The cabin is spacious and provides everyone room to spread out after a long day of checking out the sights in the Black Hills.

Cozy Cabin
This property was the perfect place to stay while we explored the Black Hills area! It had everything we needed, communication was easy, and the location was convenient. We enjoyed the large yard and the access to the trail. After full days of hiking and sight seeing, it was nice to come back and relax in the coziness of the cabin!

Perfect spot
Our family came to do all the tourist things in South Dakota and this place was perfect. She stayed in contact with us. There was plenty of room and anything else you might need. So cute inside. If we go back that way ever we will check this spot out first. Two thumbs up!
The cabin was clean, well stocked, and in a location close to all of the area attractions. We had a great stay.

Beautiful home and comfy beds
My family and my sister’s family came to Custer for buffalo round up. We had great communication with the hostess. She was very thorough and accommodating. The home is better than it looks in the pictures.. the beds were very comfortable. Very spacious and everything you need at a VRBO’s house was very clean and organized . It was above our expectations and met our needs. We would definitely stay here again.
