Grandmas house is the perfect place to stay on your trip to Mount Rushmore and all the attractions in the area. Prime location. The house was perfect and comfortable. I did have issues with checking in but that was not the fault of the host or the place. The host was very attentive and made sure we were comfortable. We will definitely stay there again on our return trip.

We had a delightful stay at Grandma's House in the Woods. The check-in and check-out process was smooth. The home was clean and comfortable. The owner replied quickly to any questions that we had and had a repair person on the property the same day to fix one small problem with the internet connection. She contacted me about one item I left at the home, and made arrangements to mail it to me. We enjoyed the amenities and the location was lovely outside of town in the ponderosa pine forest. Would highly recommend to other guests considering a stay.

We had a great time staying at Grandma's Cabin. It is centrally located to so many beautiful sites in Custer, SD. It was clean, and had everything we needed. Vicki, the host, was so sweet and attentive. My only complaint was that we didn't know the second bathroom was in the garage.

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Grey

Host profile image
This is my folk's retirement home, Custer being where most of my mom's family relocated to from Gregory about 1947.

Why they chose this property

Mom and Dad moved here from Southern California to be closer to mom's relatives. She came from a family of 13. I'm an only child, but I had 53 cousins to visit and play with every summer here in the Black Hills.

What makes this property unique

Dad loved the property because it backs up to the local golf course, mom loved it because it feels like the country, but is close to town.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
