Photo gallery for The Paddle House | Hot Tub + Fire Pit Stay

Unwind under the open sky—warm bubbles, fresh air, and space to gather and play.
The best moments happen around the fire, under a painted sky.
Let the sunset paint the sky while the hot tub melts the stress away.
A game of chess, a refreshing breeze, and a peaceful mountain backdrop.
A seat made for slow mornings, golden sunsets, and good conversations.

Newly remodeled, clean and cozy townhouse

We stayed here with our 3 kids (3, 5, and 9) and felt very much at home. The hot tub was a hit and we looked forward to it every night. The house has everything you could need and felt very clean! Having your own garage to park is also a plus! We cooked every night which made it easy and relaxing for the kids to play in the backyard, upstairs or the main living area. I definitely recommend this place for a relaxing stay as you explore the surrounding areas!

Great Place to Stay

Our group of four stayed at The Paddle House in Custer for four nights in July 2025 to ride the full 109-mile Mickelson Trail. The cabin was pristine, with a generous kitchen and a deck featuring a hot tub, ideal for relaxing after our rides. The garage was perfect for storing our bikes securely. The host was quick to respond and very accommodating. The only issue was a broken dryer, which we hope is fixed for future guests. Highly recommended for trail riders!

Spring break family trip

Family of 5 stayed for 4 nights. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the floor heater in the dining room space was not working so it was pretty cold in the mornings. Host did offer to check on it, but with our stay being that short, we chose to just tough it out. I am sure that was addressed after we checked out. We loved the backyard and hot tub! We would definitely book again.
