Space as described, probably a bit more spacious then expected for this 2 bedroom cabin. In the "city" but was very quiet just a few streets off the main road. Good outdoor spaces! Surprised by the nice hiking trail just a few blocks away (Big Rock Trailhead). Easy drive or just walk a few blocks to the grocery store (Dakotamart).

Perfect spot in Custer!

We only had a brief stay at this cute cabin, but it was perfect for us after a long week of camping. It was clean, check-in was easy and our neighbors were friendly. I always appreciate an easy check-out, too, and this was! The cabin is close to downtown Custer and the rest of the Black Hills offerings, and has great views of the area. We didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit or grills, but really appreciated the option. I would definitely stay here again if and when I’m back in the area.

This is the second time in two years that my adult son and I stayed in this exact unit. The two bedrooms with the living room and kitchen gave us ample room. We spent a lot of time in Custer State Park which is easy to access from this location. The unit was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was great to have a full size refrigerator with a freezer.
