Excellent location near Custer Park. Enjoyed several excellent hikes while visiting. Nice kitchen and supplies with very responsive hosts and tasty banana bread. Only complaint was the bed, we are not memory foam mattress lovers and got very little sleep. Location close to local grocery store for supplies as well as great restaurants. Enjoyed burgers at the brewery and excellent food at the Begging Burro.

Great location, clean, cozy, comfortable. For people that do own cooking a few essentials are missing. Comfortable bed and surroundings. Thoughtful touches as hostess made homemade bread and bars. Fire pit and outdoor seating awesome.

Location, location. Just outside of Custer this place was an excellent place to stay for enjoying the many attractions, Mount Rushmore, Custer State park, Needles and Iron Mountain highways. The cabin was clean, safe and very comfortable. We enjoyed the deck at the end of s busy day of touring.

Very Clean! Great location to Custer and surrounding things to see and do, but still felt remote. When we got there, there were goodies on the kitchen table:). Good Communication with the host. We had a great stay while on our South Dakota trip for a whole week.

We had a great stay at this beautiful getaway cabin in Custer, South Dakota. Mt. Rushmore was our primary destination, but we found more to do than our time permitted. We had already purchased tickets for the opening of Frontier Days in Cheyenne, so had to leave early on the last morning.

Wonderful area
The cabin was warm, very clean and inviting. The kitchen was very well stocked. We appreciated the baked goodies waiting for us upon arrival! Cheryl suggested the annual Buffalo Run which was spectacular! The area is beautiful! Custer is a quaint town, a short drive away, and supplied all our needs. It was a once in a lifetime trip for me and my husband.

Best host ever and location location location
The property was beautiful, up on a hill nestled in ponderosa pines, very private with decks off the front and side. We walked in the kitchen to find delicious banana bread and chocolate chip cookies waiting for us. We slept great every night. The location is just minutes from Custer State Park and Jewel Cave. We highly recommend this, you won’t be disappointed
