Perfect location to feel a but secluded yet able to walk to town. Great spot to travel to different sites throughout our stay. We would definitely stay agin.
Everything worked very well for our group of 3 adults. We were out most days seeing the area, and this was a comfortable place to return to, walk a couple of blocks to dinner, and get ready for the next day.

It was the perfect location and setup for our buffalo roundup vacation and time with family. the deck and fireplace was a great space to relax in the evening and the house was well equipped with everything we needed.
Property is in a great location. Lots of space for a family to stay and close to many amenities. The host was very responsive when we had questions and everything was very clean and comfortable.
This is the perfect place to stay in Custer. Nice secluded house next to park and trails. Within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. I would stay here again.
The creekside cabin is a lovely spot for family. Cozy decor and thoughtful touches throughout make for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the ability to relax on the deck while the kids enjoyed the playground. Cooking at home kept our costs lower and we enjoyed walking into town for treats. This is the perfect spot from which to enjoy Custer State Park, Wind Cave, and more.
Wonderful cabin in a quiet location still close to downtown. The cabin in fairly small, but laid out very well and our family of six never felt cramped. The property was very clean and the hosts were easy to communicate with. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with the essentials. The kids loved the playground next door
Was very nice place to stay. Did get a little hot at night in the bedrooms but it was very hot outside. Walking distance from main street so we didn't have to drive to go downtown. Little park for the kids right there as well.
This is our second stay here and if it times out right again we will try to come back again. Owners are on top of your needs and don’t waste any time replying to messages. Top notch very clean
Cute little cottage with the perfect location! Close enough that Main Street Custer is within walking distance, but just enough removed from the main drag that it felt quiet and safe. Playground next door was a big bonus for the kids. House was clean and comfy.

Ideal location
We had a great time staying at this cottage. Owners were very nice and helpful. The location was perfect for the sights we wanted to see: Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Deadwood, Devil's Tower, Custer State Park. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. Would highly recommend this place to our friends and family.

Mary and Walter,
Thank you!! We loved having you as our guests in our cabin. Thank you for the kind words and recommendation. We would love to have you all again!!
Although there was no snow to go skiing we enjoyed the outdoor fireplace, experiencing Custer & spending time together. Thank you for sharing your house.
This cottage was a perfect central point to many of the things we did in the Black Hills. We loved how it was near a park and we were able to sit on the porch while watching our kids play. It was also in walking distance to many restaurants and shops. The inside was clean, well stocked, and well taken care of. We felt right at home and would recommend this cottage for any looking for a place to stay in the Black Hills!
We loved the cozy creekside cottage! It was the perfect location for all the great activities in the black hills. The bunk beds were a huge hit for my kids, and lovely they had their own rooms to make sleeping arrangements easy. The playground also made a great way for the kids to wind down inbetween sight seeing. They thought of everything in the cottage to make our stay so relaxing. We would definitely stay again!
We planned a short stay in a few different towns as we drove across South Dakota, ending in Custer. This cottage was perfect for our two night stay and it was a short distance from everything we planned to see. The home had all the little things that we needed but didn’t pack for a road trip.

About the host
Hosted by David Andrews
A few years ago my wife and I needed to get away ... just a little breather from the big city. Custer was only 6hrs away so we loaded up the truck and headed up. We were enjoying a relaxing ride on the 1880 train (scenic train ride out of Hill City) when we saw the sign of a house for sale. Just for grins, giggles and dreams we looked up the listing and thought it affordable. We had a 4 day trip planned and it turned into 6 and a contract with a realtor. (Just have to put in a plug here for the most loveable realtor in Custer, Anne Fuchs) Well we loved the place so much we purchased a place for us and a place for others to come and hopefully fall in love with the Black Hills just like we did.
Why they chose this property
Just walking distance from the amenities of Custer City. Quiet park just out front so you can watch the kids play while you are relaxing on the deck. Paved road so your bike won't get stone bruises.
What makes this property unique
I'm not promising but deer mosey through the yard most every day.
