Disappointing
The location of this property is perfect for touring the Black Hills. However, as mentioned in other recent comments, the house is old and needs a lot of work, particularly the bathrooms. They are very old and in need of major work - no shower head in the basement shower, kitchen faucet on the master bath sink, torn shower curtain, among other things. The kitchen and living area were fine, but I expected something more up to date for the amount of money we paid. Very disappointed.

Horrible bathrooms!
House was pleasantly larger than anticipated. Plenty of beds. The low rating is due to the condition of the bathrooms and general uncleanliness of house & yard. Bathroom toilets, sinks & tubs were gross with chips, stains, & hard water rings. Carpet in the king bed room was filthy with stains in multiple places. The bathroom towels were stiff and not present on the main level. We had to search the house & found them downstairs. The kitchen was dirty, dusty and not stocked well. It didn’t feel like house was ready for paying guests and overpriced for the value we received. For heavens sake, take the huge host fee and shampoo the carpets, clean the silverware, wipe off the front of the dishwasher, & be ready for the next client.

Cute place!
Very cute place which made a great base for our family as we spent time exploring the black hills. Good sized kitchen for cooking. Was disappointed that the decks pictured were not usable due to being under construction of some kind. No air conditioning

Great location, but…
Outdoor areas were virtually unusable. Huge hole in the ground directly outside the kitchen door. Because th porch/ decking has been removed with no disclosure before we arrived. The weeds would have had to be mowed by us to use the fire pit. We brought an entire bag of s’mores ingredients which we never used. It was spacious but furniture is mostly like hand me downs. Super thin toilet paper and paper towels so we bought our own. Shower curtains are very grungy. Great location and easy checkin. I’m sorry but we wouldn’t stay here again unless it got some tender loving care from the owner.

The house accomodated our family very well and we enjoyed our stay there. The only issue was that the lawn needed to be mowed and the deck & deck furniture was in bad shape. A part of the deck was under construction.

Great location and historical home
I grew up in this town and was in this house often over my childhood at birthday parties, play dates, etc. This house has so much history! It was great for our group of 7—plenty of room to cook, dine, and watch movies in the basement as a family. The front porch was also a great place to have an evening cocktail and watch the rabbits and deer in the neighborhood. And the location was perfect for walking downtown and to many restaurants, etc. Also, the city pool is two doors down! The only disappointments were the grass wasn’t mowed on the property, the pool table wasn’t accessible as the house “manual” suggested we enjoy. And the back deck was gone/in the middle of being repaired. It was a big pit of gravel. So instead of being able to walk right out of the kitchen onto the deck to grill, we had to walk down the stairs on the side of the house to the grills in the grass. The top step of those side steps was rotting and one of our family members fell. So if you plan to do a lot of outdoor cooking and eating, I’d confirm the back deck is actually there as is in the pictures.

Missed the mark on quality/value
The kitchen, utensils, and equipment was in rough shape. All very old. Getting door code late and getting rushed at checkout wasn’t great. Outdoor space wasn’t usable due to in-progress patio construction, so only eating in doors was a disappointment.

A nice home for big family
Overall, this was a nice home for our family with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. It was nice to have a separate family room downstairs to stay up late and watch a movie. Internet and appliances all worked well. A nice easy walk or drive to downtown Custer. The only negatives are that the basement shower needs some repair, back deck was being replaced and could not be used by us, and the lawn and borders could use a little maintenance and TLC (i.e. around the firepit, etc.). But overall a nice place and would stay here again!
