Nestled in tall, stately pines, the interior features a completely stocked kitchen with a gas stove, dishwasher, drip and Keurig coffee pots, three lounging areas, 2 large Smart TVs, free wifi, indoor dining for 14, and rocking chairs overlooking a quiet meadow. Moving outdoors there is a furnished deck with landscape views, outdoor dining for 12 protected from wind, gas firepit with adirondack chairs, all in a peaceful setting you won't want to leave.

Wonderful cabin in Custer!

My husband and I stayed at the cabin with our daughter, son-in-law, and three young grandchildren. The accommodations were great, the beds were comfortable, and the location was great to easily access many outdoor activities. The host was welcoming and responsive. We’d definitely stay there again!

Great Place & Location

Loved the location and the meadow in front of the house. Nice that town of Custer was only minutes away. Great central location for visiting different places in the area. We hiked Badlands, Cathedral Spires/Harney Peak Fire Lookout, Devils Tower and Sunday Gulch ... all spectacular.

Great time with old friends

We are a group of four couples, who get together once a year for a weeks vacation. This year we chose Custer and the South Dakota Black Hills area. The cabin was great nice and roomy had lots of anemones and the beds were very comfortable. We felt like we were right at home and enjoyed Ourselves immensely

Evergreen Lodge

This property is centrally located to the central and southern Black Hills which was excellent for our stay. The house was as advertised and was very comfortable for our eight adults and three children. Everything we needed was provided for us including the extra refrigerator in the garage. There was ample parking on site and we enjoyed sitting around the gas fire pit. The only drawback was the gravel road leading to the house. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

Evergreen lives up to its billing

Our family of eleven has rented many different houses for summer vacations. Evergreen lives up to its billing in all respects. It is clean, modern and spacious. Perfect location to visit the many places of interest in this area of South Dakota.

Pre-Wedding Stay

Our son got married at Sylvan Lake on 8.18.2023 and we wanted a place to hang out and have some fun in the area before the wedding. This cabin was in a great location (close enough but with a secluded feel), gave us plenty of space for the 8 adults we had (family and friends), and fun items to keep everyone busy (bags, fire pit, nice large table for nightly card games). The host, Diane, was very responsive and accommodating - helped make our wedding trip perfect! Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Log Cabin and Location but the inside is worn out and needs TLC and the cleaning crew needs to keep it cleaner at check in. Has Holes in the ceiling and Bugs everywhere. We Killed probably 25+ bugs/flies and its freaking winter time.

Beautiful Quiet Location

Diane was easy to work with and flexible with our large group. She kept us well informed of everything with the property. The property was nice and cozy and right outside of town; not too far to grab some last minute items. I’m glad we decided to go with Evergreen vs other cabins and resorts. The only negative thing I’d say is when we got there, there were some dirty utensils but that was easily fixed by just washing them. Nothing too major that we couldn’t handle to make it a bad stay. I would stay here again if I come back to South Dakota.

Great stay! but not how I would design a house

There is one heater/thermostat and it is downstairs. Either the people downstairs freeze or the upstairs folks burn up. It was a small thermostat war between the folks upstairs and those downstairs. The four bathrooms are good but placed weird. Downstairs has two baths across from one bedroom and none at the other end by the other bedroom and bunkroom. Similar upstairs locations. Of the eleven of us, eight people used two baths and three used the other two. None of this affected the great time we had, simply an inconvenience.

Lovely large family stay

We spent 5 nights at this wonderful property. Everything was as-advertised. Communication was great. There were 13 people, ranging from 16 to 100, plus another 4 day visitors. There was plenty of room for everyone, with two separate couch locations upstairs and another downstairs. The highlight was probably when we had a group on the very large balcony overlooking the other group playing the provided cornhole and sitting on the Adirondack chairs at the firepit. Great times! The view over the meadow is so relaxing. We had no problems cooking for this large group. The fridge in the garage came in handy for larger items. Twin washers and dryers were also a plus. This was our third time staying in large houses near Crazy Horse, and the family commented a few times that they liked this house the best. Do be advised that the main living area is upstairs. It was a bit of work for our 100-year-old, but she got it done. On a side note, be sure to visit Dave's Rock Shop in town, as it's very affordable and fun to look around.

Our 40th wedding anniversary family vacation

The location was good, communication with host was great, just a few minor issues with plumbing, electrical work, and refrigerator(no water or ice maker working), and location of thermostat downstairs so much warmer upstairs so had to use fans to keep upstairs cool. The garage wasn’t usable. I would recommend this vrbo to anyone!! Other amenities were great!!

The best trip

We recently stayed at the Evergreen Lodge. We were celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We needed a lot of room.and space for everyone and this place didn't disappoint. The home was beautiful and the property was great. We had a nice view. It was close to so many places. Diane was fabulous and she really went out of her way to make sure our stay was great. I can't recommend this place enough. It was fabulous. We can't wait to go back.
