Just right for us!

We came to Custer to visit relatives who live about a mile away. It was just right for us as we spent more time away. It was much homier than a hotel.

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. Met all our needs. The cabin was close to everything in town but it didn’t seem like we were in town. We would definitely stay there again.

Clean and comfortable. EZ check in. Excellent communication with Crystal! Good location overall. Easy access to nice hike up to tower overlooking Custer and hills. Well worth the hike! Close to downtown, but a little bit more of a walk than expected. But no complaints overall. 👍

A Sweet Stop In Custer

We spent two nights in this little dwelling. There was a lovely welcome basket with a handwritten note from Crystal. We had all that we needed to prepare simple meals for our visit to Crazy Horse Memorial, Lead, Deadwood, and Custer State Park. Thank you, Crystal, for everything!

Perfect quiet place

We stayed in a two room plus bathroom unit. Approximately 250 square feet. We had a front porch and plenty of places to sit outside. Crystal was a visible, nice hostess!

Not fancy, but adequate for our needs

Check in was easy. The place was small, but we were there to hike, so spent little time in the cabin. The bed and couch were comfy and shower had plenty of hot water. Kitchen had necessary items for cooking. We would stay here again.

Custer State Park Buffalo Round Up

Cozy cabin with everything you need for a stay. The touch less check-in was great since we arrived after midnight due to flight delays. This property is well kept and very clean. Convenient location enabled us to walk to restaurants in less than 5 minutes. Drive to Custer State Park for Buffalo Round Up was reasonable (Tip: North Viewing for the Round Up is excellent). You truly feel immersed in the Black Hills! Great stay.

Cute Cabin

This tiny cabin was perfect for the few days that we had in the Custer area. It was close to several parks and very close to town. We enjoyed reading in the shared backyard during our down time. We would stay again next time we are in the area.

Moose Cabin, Custer SD

Bedroom noisy when air conditioning ran, but bed comfortable. Could have had more light in bathroom, sort of dark. Other than that, clean and furnished very well.
