Amazing Cabin on 15 Acres of Woods Adjacent to Custer State Park

The Laughin Place allows you to spend less of your precious family and vacation time driving and spend more of that precious time doing the things that matter. Right in the middle of it all, with easy access to highways and attractions, The Laughin' Place is a mile high, and is nearly surrounded by both the fabulous Custer State Park and the spectacular Black Hills National Forest. Both offer you easy access to hundreds and hundreds of acres of hiking, animal sighting, and exploring. So close to everything, yet so private.

Our cabin is a tri level home, very easy and comfortable. Much of it is finished in knotty pine, with a soaring slate chimney. The kitchen is updated with hickory cabinets, side by side refrigerator and glass top range. We have all the conveniences you'd expect at home. The loft looks out over the living room below, and features a door leading to its own private outdoor deck. The lower level features an impressive slate wall, a second kitchen, and walks out on to our lush yard.

Bathrooms remodeled and refreshed in 2021. Walk in showers in both bathrooms now, a nice update.

The main floor master bedroom has a king size TempurPedic bed. The loft has two twin beds and also a day bed with a trundle if you need it, a total of four twin beds. The lower bedroom has a queen size bed. The lower level den has a sofa.

Our expansive decks allow a person or two to relax with a quiet cup of coffee in the morning sun. Later on, you can watch the evening shadows fall, reliving your day with friends and family around the propane fire table.

The Laughin' Place is ideally located for your Black Hills vacation plans. Custer State Park is literally a stone's throw. Custer City is quick trip by car or an easy bike ride, coming and going. Outdoor fun abounds in every direction. Biking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, running and exploring.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brett's cabin and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The cabin had plenty of space for our family, both inside and out. One of our favorite parts of each day was coming back in the evening to relax on the deck, enjoy the fire table, and watch the kids run and play in the large outdoor space.The property offers plenty of open space, which made it a great place to relax, enjoy the scenery, and watch for wildlife. It was the perfect home base for our Black Hills adventures.Brett was an outstanding host. Before and during our stay, he was incredibly helpful with recommendations, especially when it came to local fishing spots and techniques. His advice helped make some great memories for our family. He also checked in throughout our trip to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and to offer suggestions for things to do in the area. His hospitality and local knowledge really enhanced our experience.We had a fantastic stay and made many wonderful family memories here. We plan to return to the area in the future and will definitely be booking with Brett again.

Great location in The Black Hills. Easy to come and go to various activities. The owner was quick and easy to communicate with. The kids (7, 9, 11) had a grand time exploring the property and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit. I REALLY appreciated having the basics - coffee filters, tissues, foil, salt/pepper, oil. Thanks much!!!

We had a great time visiting SD for the first time, and this location was perfect. We enjoyed the large yard, deck, the three floors inside worked out great for teens in the loft, parents on the main floor, and we took the basement. The space for the provided hammocks and cornhole were a bonus! Thanks you!
