Custer family getaway

Wonderful place to stay! My family and I had the pleasure of staying at this property for three nights. The location is perfect! Nestled into the pines near Custer. It is close to town yet very quiet and peaceful. The sounds and scents of nature all around you. The home itself was spacious for our group of 8. Three separate bedrooms and two bathrooms made it seem roomy. A fully equipped kitchen was nice too although most of our meals were at one of the many great restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend this location!

Great place

What a wonderful home to stay at. Everything you could possibly need was provided in the kitchen. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. We enjoyed the morning visits from the wild turkey flock and the deer family! The proximity to all the parks was so convenient. We are already planning a return trip for the summer.

Just outside of town, backing up to national forest. Took lots of beautiful walks with our dog. The outside dog area was great. The neighbors in residence were friendly and helpful. Had a blast every morning watching the rabbits, turkeys and deer.

South Dakota Family Trip

My wife and I stayed here with our 2 young boys and another couple. It was just outside of the main area of town, and was the perfect location. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the deer. It was quiet, but convenient being close to town. I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful secluded home near Custer

Everything was lovely with this home. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals and the large outdoor was a joy for eating. Check-in was easy. Best of all was the big screen Smart TV for watching movies at night. Will definitely return.

SD Trip

Beautiful area! Our overall stay was wonderful. The location was close to downtown Custer and somewhat secluded. However, my daughter's room smelled musty, and the shower had mildewed around the shower door. It had 3 bedrooms with plenty of beds for a large group/family. We didn't bring our pets but there is a large fenced-in yard for dogs. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay.

Custer stay

Overall the house was great. It was nice to have no direct neighbors and a fenced in yard for our dogs! I would definitely swap out the carpet everywhere being it is dog friendly and the sanitary factor with that. There could have been a little more description on how to work the heat and where units were located. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some family meals. The host was super wonderful with early check in and responsive. Would rent again!

Great location, modest house, phenomenal backyard

Really enjoyed our stay here. The house was exactly what my family needed for the week, and was very nicely located near Custer. The backyard had large rock formations that the kids loved climbing on and the deck with the grill and fireplace was a nice amenity. The only downside was that the sink had a pipe underneath that was broken and the owner had remedied by sticking a tub underneath to catch leakage. Also, the owner was not very quick to respond to emails throughout the week.

Beautiful Property

The property itself is very well kept. You can tell there's been upgrades made recently which is a plus. The only downside was the internet company was repairing the line and shut off the wifi for several hours. Everything else was great though

Extremely Happy with the Rental Home

The home is exactly as described plus more. Home was very clean, it was stocked with all necessities in the kitchen and bathrooms. Living room and bedrooms were perfect with four adults a toddler and a baby, we were all very comfortable. Icing on the cake was seeing wild turkeys in the yard and feeding the deer some celery from the deck. A definite place to stay!!

SD get away

Went to cut firewood at my sister's property. Stayed at this lovely place. Loved how piecful it was. Loved having the fenced yard for our dog which is very hard to find when traveling with a dog and she's a runner if she gets a way. So have that yard made it so worth it. And we will definitely be renting this place any time we go to my sister's property up there.

Great location

The house needed a little extra cleaning. The towels smelled bad, the shower door has a gross crust around it, and not everything was dusted. The kitchen is missing some essentials (cutting boards, large frying pan, serving spoons, etc). The "leaving" instructions need to include "clean up your dogs poop". I had to clean up A LOT of other people's dog poop when we arrived. It's a great location and we enjoyed the overall experience.

Really nice stay Spring break 2023

Great 3 bedroom rental with a quiet, private feel and fenced yard that worked perfectly for our kids+dog. The kitchen was well appointed with all the appliances and kitchen-wear we needed to make a family breakfast and dinner each day. Also it was really nice to have a washer and dryer on-site in a little mud room area directly accessible from the outside (our kids get muddy!). There was snow when we came, but the unpaved road up the hill to the home and the driveway were clear and well maintained. Our host Melissa responded quickly to questions and inquiries. Easy drive to everything in the Black Hills area including Wind Cave, Custer State Park and Hot Springs, the monuments and all the other little gems like the fossil museum in Hill City. Definitely would recommend this place to others.

Holiday get away

This was a fine home and had all that we needed. Just not anything special. We enjoyed the area but felt the rental was overpriced for a winter get away. Summers offer a lot more for your money here. The property is dated and was missing a few small items. It lacked charm that would be easy to infuse in it's décor. Also would be nice to update towels and check for kitchen essentials. I doubt it is used much in the winter and the cleaning showed that. It felt like a company owned it and it just wanted a quick buck and not a fun experience for it's guest. Since we came over the holidays for an entire week we thought it would have been nice to show a little holiday spirit in the home too. We had a great time and stayed warm and enjoyed our week because family always counts first and that was what we were there for,

Overpriced

Well located and had enough beds, so it met those needs for our stay. However, for the price I expected much more than received. The kitchen was poorly appointed (no large bowls to mix anything. No large spoons for cooking/serving). The TV was unwatchable, a “smart” tv, but hulu plus and netflix were the only viewing options, could not add anything else (appletv or disney plus or amazon) - therefore my kids could not watch anything. The overall feel of the place was slightly dirty despite that it was obvious that cleaning had taken place (carpet was still wet in spots). If they had charged half as much, I would have given 5 stars and felt that I had received what I had paid for.
