Quiet area to stay and an easy walk to downtown shopping. Also close to a park and walking trail called Custer Skywalk just off 6th street. The view from the top was spectacular.

Understand that this is a rustic cabin in a small town. Host was outstanding. Even made sure that there were enough packets of fresh coffee for all of our ten days stay. Great location for exploring the Black Hills.

This cabin was very clean, well stocked and had a perfect location in Custer. It was within a walking distance to a grocery store and downtown Custer shops/restaurants and within short driving distance to Custer State Park. The cabin had AC (which was a plus), however, one of the units seemed to struggle cooling the room down in high temperatures. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.

Very clean, plenty of towels and linens. Sleeps six, however, as adults we didn’t love the sleeper couch and futon. Kids would have been fine though! Overall it was a great place to rest our heads on the way to our destination. Very cute!
