Great cabin in a beautiful area!

Had a great time at this cabin. Loved the outdoor area, just wish it wasn’t so close to the main road. They had fun outdoor and indoor games for the kids, the kitchen had just about everything you would need. Cheryl was friendly and gave us a full tour of the cabin when checking in. Great place for a large group.

Loving Custer!

We were in Custer for a wedding as well as visiting local attractions. The house was so perfect-spacious, well maintained and in a great location for all our needs. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to enjoy the property! Would definitely recommend if you have large family/friends who need a place to spread out, it had everything! PS: the cookies and banana bread were a definite unexpected treat!

Beautiful location!

We stayed at this property for a family reunion. It was the perfect size for our family. Beautiful location, comfortable furnishings. Owners were easy to communicate with. I really appreciated that the owners let us know upfront that the week we booked was the Sturgis motorcycle rally. We decided to keep it booked anyway and have no regrets. Would stay here again!

Beautiful Black Hills Cabin

We spent four nights at this beautiful Black Hills Cabin. It’s even more beautiful than the pictures show. It’s very spacious and has everything you need. I was worried without a/c it would be hot since we were there on a very hot week. But opening windows overnight and keeping them closed during the day kept it very comfortable. The property is very pretty but it is right next to a busy road. And be sure to bring bug spray if you’re there in the summer to avoid mosquito bites. Our boys enjoyed the yard games. We used both the grill and the fire pit. It was wonderful sipping coffee on the front porch. Cheryl left us a basket with banana bread and cookies which was such a thoughtful touch. We will absolutely return he next time we’re in the Black Hills. I miss it already!

Great Cabin Close to all the fun activities eastern South Dakota has to offer!

Clean, cute cabin with everything we needed for our 4 night stay in Custer. The hosts were great at working with us and I loved the little welcome basket Cheryl put together. Very nice couple, with all the nice details. We enjoyed our stay very much! You won’t regret booking this cabin (although we were in need of serving bowls and a cookie sheet so bring your own if you need those items, everything else was plentiful) but we improvised with other items. This stay was a much needed respite for our family after an emotionally challenging year!

Family vacation

Property was amazing and hosts were friendly. The updated bathrooms were a plus as well as a spacious master suite. The kids had ample room to spread out and also enjoyed the includes yard games, fire pit and watching deer from the deck. If you're planning on staying in the summer or during rainy weather, be sure to pack plenty of insect repellent! The property is close to town but does come with some highway noise. All in all...a WIN! Would stay again!

Beautiful home, Close to town

The home and hosts are just lovely! Plenty of room, beautifully decorated and an interesting pice of history. Frank and Cheryl are such warm and welcoming hosts, providing great information about the area and even helped make the 3 of us who celebrated a milestone birthday even more memorable. The only downside is the road noise - if you open the upstairs bedroom windows you can hear it through the night. Otherwise we had a great stay!

Beautiful property with an amazing pond that attracted wildlife, a very nice fire pit stoked and ready to go. Plenty of outdoor space. Perfect for a large family getaway. The owners pay extra attention to things like full bird feeders and games, books and child friendly plates and tumblers. We will recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to visit the Custer area!
