Grandmas House was delightful! Property was clean and accurate to the description. We were perfectly located outside Custer for a series of hikes in the Black Hills. Communication with the host was clear and seamless. We will happily be back.

Once again, my husband and I had a great stay in Custer, SD for the second year. Grandma’s House is a fantastic place to stay. Vicki is a fantastic host. She is a great communicator and very concerned that her guests have a pleasant visit. The location is spectacular whether you are sightseeing at Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse or anything else or is you just want to hang out and relax. We travel with our two black labs and there is a beautiful back woods for us to walk with them early in the morning and in the evening for them to burn off some energy.

Vicki was an amazing hostess. Great communication. Grandma's House was clean, comfortable, and familiar. It was close to the things we went to see. Loved the flags and the early morning deer grazing in the yard.

Our stay at Grandmas house in the woods was the perfect location for us. Just a few minutes to town and close to Custer state park. We enjoyed lots of hiking, seeing Mount Rushmore and driving the needles Hwy. Vicki was excellent with communication. We loved the fresh eggs she gave us. She even provided our dog with clean stainless food and water dishes. We would stay again

We enjoyed the quiet set back property. The front porch is amazing’ Large well supplied kitchen and very roomy bathroom. We were there for the Sturgis Rally and it was nice to come back to a quiet neighborhood for the evening. There are numerous good choices in the area for dinner, our favorite was the Sage Grille in downtown Custer.And do not miss the pie shop in Custer. Beautiful riding in the area! Our host was very sweet.

This place is big and has a lot of room to spread out. The kitchen worked well and it has a new Weber grill that worked great for grilling a meal at home after eating out for many days in a row. The table can seat six for a meal and we removed a couple leaves to set it up as a card table at night. We saw deer eating in the yard in the morning and evening. The deck was nice for sitting out with coffee in the morning.The place is dog friendly and it has carpet throughout that was old. The furnishings are dated and it is cluttered with a lot of stuff.There is only one bathroom which makes it crowded in the morning.The host was very easy to talk to and helpful when we had questions. We had a good time during our stay.

We had a great 5 night stay with our Heeler Reggie. We had deer every morning and evening with crows daily. A new propane grill on the covered porch was awesome as we grill a lot!The host was great to visit with and allowed us to use one stall of the garage, which is a huge comfort when the afternoon storms pop up! Plenty of parking for trailer and side by side.We love our coffee so a single cup Keurig or a coffee maker are available, there were plenty of pods for our needs.There is a trail right behind the house which is great for a quick walk through the pines.We had a great time and would stay again. Thank you!

Just do it (: This VRBO is an absolute gem and in a perfect location. The location and home were both better than I was anticipating. Lot's of privacy and room for kids to run around outside. 5 minutes max from Custer Town (groceries, dinner, gas stations) but you feel completely tucked away in the wilderness. The home genuinely feels like a Grandma's home. When I say that I mean it in all the best way's possible. It was warm and inviting as if I'd been there before. I've stayed at a fair share of VRBO's. I've never had a host be so kind and considerate. When she found out this reservation was for a student trip, she offered to leave us fresh eggs which was just the cherry on top of her kindness. Great communication and a very quick and easy check in process. I would 100% stay here again. If your goal is to have a get away and be close to countless hiking trails in Custer/Black Hill's. This VRBO is perfect for that. There were several times when the older students just sat on the rocking chairs on the front porch watching the wilderness and soaking up all the nature. I can't thank our host enough! (:

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.
