About this property

Beautiful Black Hills property with access to the Mickelson Trail

Enjoy all that the Black Hills has to offer by day and then tuck yourself away in this quite little home at night. Newly remodeled one bed, one bath apartment/duplex on close to two acres. The home sits in a valley on the north side of Custer. Out the back door is a small creek and access to the Mickelson Trail. Across the trail is a lovely view of Forest Service land.
If you are lucky you will catch a glimpse of deer and wild turkey that inhabit the area.

The apartment we were in was a one bedroom which was side by side with the second apartment. It was clean with a very rustic interior. The bed was comfortable and the internet was good. Something I think could be better would be to update the bathroom towels. Also the grill on our side of the house didn’t seem to work. The oven heats 50 degrees higher than normal but it just meant turning down the heat that much. And the flooring has some type of coating over it that peels off in small pieces. The doors going outside did not have blinds or curtains on them which I was not comfortable with as I like the security of closed blinds at night. However the view outside the back of the house is beautiful. We had deer come on the property most nights and the owner left us deer corn to leave out to feed them. There is also a paved walking trail just off the property that many people seem to use. The owner was there and was helpful in suggesting things to see and do.

Cozy and Perfect Little Place Away From Home

Such a cozy little place away from home. Beautiful backyard view every morning while having your coffee. Quiet setting. And got to see and feed deer on the property. Comfortable bed and pillows. And to top it off, the property manager was so wonderful to communicate with. Loved staying here!

Rustic home with beautiful sights close by

We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful scenery right out the back door. Fun having the Mickelson trail right out back. We enjoyed seeing the deer. The bed was very comfortable. The only thing is no air conditioning, which was really only needed one of our days. House is rustic, but comfortable.

I loved the quiet, safe area. The kitchen was great, allowing us to prepare most of our meals. The bed was very comfortable. We walked on the nearby trail which was nice. The dining table chairs need to be upgraded and it would have been nice to have cable TV, but this is certainly not a big deal.

Relaxing!

We appreciated that we could walk across the back yard and access the Mickleson Trail. In the evening we sat in the backyard and watched turkeys and deer feed on the corn provided. The cabin was simple, quaint, clean just like the description. If you like extravagant accommodations, probably not for you- but we definitely enjoyed it!!

Nice, Close to Everything

Nice place, price good, older, but clean, toilet/shower good, bed too soft for me but clean, air temperature was adjustable to comfort, refrigerator clean/nice, didn’t use stove, had a Keurig (brought our own 😊 too), Internet perfect, was a bit confusing as it was attached to a bigger place and we were confused which one was ours, floor had 2 small step downs that you had to be careful not to trip, close to restaurants, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Jewel Cave, Custer State Park, Badlands - very convenient. Deer at night, clean forest smell.
