Family Bucket List trip

The home was extremely comfortable and clean. We met both our hosts and they were welcoming and informative ab the area. We loved that we could open the windows at night and be more than comfortable. Reminded us of our childhood. We hope to return in the future.

No thank you Worst experience I've Ever Had

The owners stay in an RV at the front of the house. This should be clearly stated in the listing and in the house rules or it makes it creepy when you find out you are being watched and they can here all your conversations on the porch. Why bother with that when there are countless other options to stay in on the same road? A little more professionalism from the owner would be nice.

Relaxing silence

The property is beautiful with wild life strolling through the yard at various times of the day. The house was setup nicely with plenty of space for a fair sized group. The hosts are on the property and are great people with a vast knowledge of the area. I would highly recommend this property.

Clean, comfortable and accessible

We travelled with my elderly parents, who are dependent on walkers for mobility. The property owners supplied a shower chair and raised tiolet seat to make their stay more comfortable. They were able to easily move about the house and to get in and out with the help of the ramp. The owner was responsive to our needs throughout the stay, including providing a fast solution one eveni g when an electrical storm impacted the internet connection. We prepared multiple meals from scratch using the utensiles and cookware provided. We would stay hear again and highly recommend this property.

Great Property and Location!

This was a great location for our week in Custer. The house had everything we needed and provided a place for down time when we weren't out and about. Good location to get to Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, and other sites. Nice to also see wildlife in the yard. Tzeidel was a great hostess - very friendly, responsive and answered questions as we had them. Would definitely recommend this property to others!

Great view and location.

This was a great place to stay to access Custer State Park and the surrounding area. The view from the porch is fantastic. The town of Custer is cute. Only complaint is there is no soap in the shower. I’ve stayed at dozens of rentals and this was a first.
