This home was perfect for our 9 day stay with 3 couples. We had plenty of room and enjoyed the home. The Kitchen had all we needed to cook meals, which is a big plus to me. Everything was nice and clean, the view is amazing and the location is close to many attractions. Our hosts were very accommodating to our needs and made sure we had every thing we needed. I would stay here again for sure.

Great stay in the Black Hills

The house was very clean and comfortable. It is spacious for a family of 4. The house is in a very quiet location, but close to grocery stores and restaurants and only a half an hour away from many of the tourist sites. We spent a week and it gave us plenty of time to do a variety of things and still have some downtime to read, relax and play games.

Great location

This property has an absolutely beautiful view from the porch. I enjoyed sitting out in the morning drinking coffee. Deer would come in the yard and actually come pretty close up. House was cleaned and had everything we needed. Temps were into the 90’s the last two days and some of the house got warm, but not bad. We would definitely stay again if we ever get back up.

Great location for a family trip

Perfect for a family trip, the kids could hang out in the basement and we stayed upstairs, easy to get to anywhere around Custer. After we arrived we never used the gps again to find the house, it was that simple, yet still far enough away that we had deer each morning in the front yard.

The home was extremely comfortable and clean. We met both our hosts and they were welcoming and informative ab the area. We loved that we could open the windows at night and be more than comfortable. Reminded us of our childhood. We hope to return in the future.

John & Tzeidel Black moved to Custer in 2012 and got married October 20. John has worked for the National Park Service since 1999. He has spent 10 years at Jewel Cave National Monument (which we highly recommend!) as the Facility Manager. Tzeidel has been in tourism since high school, mostly in food service.

Why they chose this property

This home has an incredible view. The experience of looking out the front window or dining on the deck is hard to match.

What makes this property unique

It does have a wheel chair ramp, with its own unique life story, that is not ADA approved but may assist some in wheel chairs, walkers or crutches. A shower chair is available. Furniture can be moved to be more accessible. Please text so we can set up fully for your individual needs.
Because of our own needs and for some who have multiple chemical sensitivity we strive to be chemical free. Only natural cleaners are used from Norwex, Melalueca and essential oils. We steer clear of scented trash bags, laundry supplies and cleaners.
We are a rare home in the Hills that has Recycling.
Filtered well water for drinking.
