Great Place To Stay

This was a great place to stay in Custer, SD! The home has been upgraded and has plenty of room for our family of 5 (plus dog). The host had everything we needed. Upon arrival there was a sweet gift basket with items to remember our trip as well as doggy bags, dog treats, and maps/magazines to help us see and do all we wanted while visiting! It was perfect!

Great stay in Custer

Wonderful and inviting stay! Suited our family of five and our chocolate lab just fine. Very close to local attractions and the city of Custer which features many restaurants and places to enjoy. We were not sure how we would feel about a shared space, but rest assured the owner who lives upstairs is a great person and we maybe seen him a couple of times. Felt very private and the location was relaxing!

Absolutely amazing!! The hosts have thought of everything. The place is close to town yet in a remove area that makes you feel like you are miles away from everything! We enjoyed our evenings with the gorgeous sunsets while viewing the birds and wild life in the distance. Perfect location to tour all of black hills. We did not want to leave.
