About this property

Summary:

Buckhorn Cottage



The Space:

Unwind and relax in this modern cozy home. Enjoy your evenings on the porch within the peaceful trees of the back yard. Located in a pine tree filled neighborhood within minutes of downtown Custer, you'll never want to leave. Walk or hike the famous Mickelson Trail or enjoy dining out at many of Custer's local restaurants and brewery. Being in the forest yet, only minutes to Custer and 4 miles to Crazy Horse, makes this the perfect combination of convenience and country. With everything so close in a beautiful location, why stay anywhere else?



Crazy Horse Monument is a short 4.2 mile drive up the hill from this house, and Custer State Park is just 7 miles away. Medicine Mountain road is only 2.9 miles down the road, for access to miles and miles of national forest and forest service roads for your outdoor and ATV/UTV adventures. With everything so convenient in a beautiful location, this relaxing home will provide the perfect getaway for Black Hills adventures.



Planning a trip to the hills to ATV/UTV? This home is located near Medicine Mountain Road Road (2.9 miles away) which has many forest service roads which also connect to the Hill City ATV/UTV trail systems which turn into snowmobile trails in the winter.



Guests with motorcycles will love this home as there is only .5 miles of well maintained gravel to the highway, making it both centrally located and easy to get around. In addition to the limited gravel, there is plenty of parking outside for trailers and vehicles. Please note, the garage is not available for guests use.

Perfect in Every Way

We loved everything about this house. The location was perfect for adventures to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, the Badlands, and so much more. In fact we could see Crazy Horse from the road to the house. It was comfortable for when we spent the afternoon watching movies while it rained. The property was clean and spacious. We loved staying there!

It is a very nice house and awesome shower in the master bath. One suggestion is to have enough toilet paper always available and facial tissues, too. Also enough hooks or towel racks for the amount of people that can stay there. A bit more shelf or table space in the bathrooms for the guests things would help, too. Also, look at getting a bigger pressure tank for water pressure. It would trickle out of the shower if you just flushed the toilet. The kitchen was great!
