Our first time staying in the awesome cabin. Check in was a breeze. Our host Cheryl is a gem. We spent a week with our family. Check out was also so easy. Would recommend this location any time. My husband is handicapped but we did well. We loved stargazing at night. This home is fully equipped for cooking or grilling:

Great cabin in a beautiful area!

Had a great time at this cabin. Loved the outdoor area, just wish it wasn’t so close to the main road. They had fun outdoor and indoor games for the kids, the kitchen had just about everything you would need. Cheryl was friendly and gave us a full tour of the cabin when checking in. Great place for a large group.

Homey and Relaxing

A group of 6 of us stayed in the cabin for 4 nights and found it delightful. It was clean and comfortable. The (2) porches were amazing places to sit and relax with a cup of coffee. We grilled out one evening on the BBQ grill and ate outside. Perfect setting!!!

A lovely place for a group in the Southern Hills

This was a great place for my family of 6 to have ample space for fun and relaxation. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The location is just outside of Custer, which made driving around very convenient. The trade off is some highway noise, which was only noticeable when we were on the deck. As a bonus, it was nice to have the Mickelson trail so close. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Vacation!

We loved this lodge/cabin. It's in a great location, great scenery on the grounds, and wonderful owners. Cheryl and Frank are very welcoming and gave great suggestions for outings and eating places. The lodge/cabin was very clean and had everything you could need for an away from home stay. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in a unique, historical cabin. We definitely will be contacting them when vacationing in the area again.

Beautiful location!

We stayed at this property for a family reunion. It was the perfect size for our family. Beautiful location, comfortable furnishings. Owners were easy to communicate with. I really appreciated that the owners let us know upfront that the week we booked was the Sturgis motorcycle rally. We decided to keep it booked anyway and have no regrets. Would stay here again!

Wonderful!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin near Custer. This was a perfect homebase for exploring Custer State Park, The Needles, Mount Rushmore and the Badlands. The cabin was spacious, comfortable and well stocked. The hosts were friendly and responsive. We loved the freshly baked banana bread!

Best host ever

If you are in Mt Rushmore, this is the place to stay. It is very close to crazy horse, custer state park and Mt Rushmore memorial park. Host Cherly and her husband are exceptionally amazing host. They personally welcomed our family, they also had some goodies for our family. We had amazing experience .

Family Reunion

Perfect! Each family had their own rooms, bed numbers fit us exactly. Ample parking, fire pit was great and kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. We want to make this an annual trip to this same house! Kids loved the rocks to climb and enjoyed "Martin" the Marmet when he showed up. Even the cows were friendly! Host was a dear.

Great family space

Location was perfect except that it’s so close to the highway. Lots of noise. Had to sleep with windows open as there is no air conditioning. Perfect for families. Lots of space. Clean. Everything you’d need to stay was available.

Great Cabin Close to all the fun activities eastern South Dakota has to offer!

Clean, cute cabin with everything we needed for our 4 night stay in Custer. The hosts were great at working with us and I loved the little welcome basket Cheryl put together. Very nice couple, with all the nice details. We enjoyed our stay very much! You won’t regret booking this cabin (although we were in need of serving bowls and a cookie sheet so bring your own if you need those items, everything else was plentiful) but we improvised with other items. This stay was a much needed respite for our family after an emotionally challenging year!

Nice stay!

Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay, with nice accommodations and plenty of space to spread out. A few things would improve the stay - a fan in every room or better yet window air conditioning units since the swamp coolers didn't function properly. Also, a mirror in every room would be appreciated. The washing machine put tiny holes in a couple of new shirts that were washed in it, so check that out. Thanks for plenty of dishes and pans. You do need to replace one of the frying pans since the handle is about to come off, and the carbon monoxide is outdated and needs to be replaced, as well. Addressing these items will improve the stay for future guests. Thank you for sharing your lovely place with us!

The old log home was awesome! Comfortable all around with mattresses being being very good. Wanted for nothing, stocked well. Water pressure was good and hot water plentiful. The picture online is deceiving as this is a large home with lots of room. Throughly enjoyed staying here.the photo is the view from the large patio.

This house was ideal for our vacation to the Black Hills. We had three families on the trip and the house accommodated our needs perfectly. The house was clean, there were toys for the kids, and the kitchen was great for cooking our own meals in the evenings. We would certainly stay here again!

This cabin is a wonderful place. It is peaceful even though it s fairly close to the highway it doesn’t feel like it. We loved our time . There were games to play and it is close to everything you want to experience in the Black hills. It has all the amenities needed. We arrived a bit early but it was not a problem. The owner was very gracious and let us check in. She was very friendly and kind.

We had a great stay and plenty of room and beds for our party of 12! Clean and comfortable, and close to town but just far enough way from town.
