About the host
Hosted by Adam W

Hi there, I'm Adam. I had the good fortune to grow up in Custer. I moved away to attend college in Minnesota, but I still have friends in the area and will forever be returning to the magic of the Black Hills. My sister lives nearby, too.
Currently, my wife Minha, our 6-year-old son, and I live on the West Coast, but we always look forward to returning to the Hills whenever we can. We love exploring new cultures, meeting interesting people, trying new foods, and making sure everyone has a good time along the way!"

Why they chose this property
My wife and I purchased this property in Custer because of its solid build quality and prime location. We’re fortunate to also own another vacation rental just a few blocks away, Cozy Custer Cottage. Hosting guests and helping them explore the Black Hills has been such a rewarding experience for us! We take great pride in hearing about the memorable adventures our guests have and are committed to making sure everyone has a 5-star stay.
What makes this property unique
This property was fully renovated in 2024 and it's in a fantastic location! You’ll be within walking distance of everything—restaurants, breweries, historic downtown Custer, candy shops, gift stores, ATV rentals, and more. Plus, it’s the perfect base for exploring the top attractions of the Black Hills, including Custer State Park, Crazy Horse Monument, Needles Highway, Sylvan Lake, Mount Rushmore, and more!
