Wonderful Family Experience

Beautiful cabin setting close to Custer but far enough away from everything to enjoy campfires and porch swings. Our family and grandkids had a wonderful time and Cheryl and Frank were such great hosts! The banana bread was delicious

Couples trip to side by side in the Black Hills

We loved our stay at the Blessing log cabin. It was roomy and comfy, with lots of space for us. The host & hostess are very accommodating & good to work with. Loved the homemade goodies they left for us. Would definitely recommend this property, the convenience of being close to town was a plus! Thank you Frank & Cheryl for sharing your beautiful property!!

Wonderful Historic Cabin

It was a beautiful Cabin rural yet close to downtown Custer. Tea or coffee in the morning on the dexk overlooking the Bulls was an add benefit.

Family Vacay

Excellent stay and location. FYI - there is air conditioning on the main level but not upstairs bedrooms, however it does cool off at night and having the windows open really brought the temps down and it was very comfortable (in June) Host was very welcoming and friendly - would highly recommend staying here!

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.

A perfect spot

This was our second visit to Custer and we loved this house's proximity to town, the state park, and other destinations. The interior is spacious and very well taken care of. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were updated, decks were gorgeous. Lots of beautiful outdoor space for the kids to run around and climb on rocks. There was some road noise when sitting on the side deck especially, but for us the trade-off of being so close to town was worth it.

Relaxing home base

Our family loved staying at the Blessing home. There was enough room for everyone to spread out and relax after adventuring all day. The location was central to everything we wanted to see and do. Very clean and well maintained. There were books and games if we wanted to use them. Every kitchen utensil/appliance we needed was available. The host is amazing! We loved this stay and hope to be back in the future!

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.
