The property and home were perfect for our family with children ages 12,9,4,3 and infant. They loved the yard and we loved the many rooms! The home had several area that we could all gather in but also had areas that one could have quiet private time. The home does not have air conditioning but even with temps in the 90’, the home was cool and comfortable in the evening.

Convenient location right on the edge of Custer. Owner met us at the door with keys; even provided some baked goods as a welcome. We were a party of 11 which included 5 children ages 5-12. Dining tables inside and on the sunny deck were long enough for seating all of us. Large yard and huge rocks for climbing provided entertainment for the kids when we weren’t out sightseeing. Highly recommend for large families.

The property was accurately described. Very clean. Hosts were very responsive. We did experience well problems (no water) but when we called them, they promptly had a service man come and install a new switch. While it was inconvenient, I understand that sometimes mechanical things break and were not due to any reasonable fault of the host. Would stay at this site again.

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!

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.

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!

Thank you for your comments. I assume you are talking about the screens. It is difficult to accomplish repairs during our busy season without disturbing our guests, so will take care of them now! Thank you for taking care of our historic log cabin and it would be a pleasure to have you stay with us again. Cheryl
