Proximity to National Parks was great. Unit was clean and offered snacks ,coffee and soap and lotion. Bed was very comfortable . Restaurants in area were plentiful and varied. Host answered questions promptly. Laundry facility was located in musky basement area. Stairs could be a challenge for older people.

Quiet sanctuary near everything you need

Great quiet place with all you need! Amazing location close to everything in Custer. I was there for a quiet work sanctuary and it was perfect. Met the host/manager who was very friendly and accommodating - wanting to make sure all my needs were met. I’d highly recommend this for anyone looking for a nice get away in the area!

Great location and easy check in, walkable to many restaurants and shops. Doesn’t have central AC so just know that for the summer especially. Window unit and fans kept it cool for us! Close to Custer state park for easy hiking!

Best spot in Custer!

This property is absolutely perfect for a long weekend for a couple. We were centrally located to do all the tourist things and came back every evening for a meal out in Custer. We loved be able to walk everywhere in the evenings. A great old historic building!

Weekend Stay

Perfect for two people, clean and within walking distance of Main Street businesses. Just make sure you realize you have a flight of steps to access your apartment and the couch is a bit low for seniors.

Home away from home!

This apt was perfect! Jerry is a great host - absolutely nothing was overlooked and the king bed was very comfortable. Perfect location centrally located to all the state and nat'l parks and monuments. Don't miss Custer state park right up the road. Plenty of good places to eat and Gold Pan Saloon two or three doors down is open late. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cozy little apartment (on premises laundry a plus) right in the heart of Custer, walking distance to many restaurants and bars, as well as a grocery store. Short drives to Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Jewel and Wind Caves. Great spot from which to explore the amazing Black Hills!

Great spot in Custer

We loved staying in Custer, walking to restaurants and visiting the parks nearby. The apartment was perfect for 2 of us with recent updates in a cool old building. Bed was very comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. The futon in front of the tv was not a comfortable place to sit.

Overall great spot!

Almost perfect for our little family, though it didn't realistically sleep 4; pull-out is a twin. We mostly used it as a quick turnaround spot and to sleep. It was comfortable, had everything we needed, and was surprisingly quiet given the central location! A screen in the bedroom window would be nice to let the cool night air in as the air conditioning doesn't reach there.

Perfect location

Clean, newly renovated VRBO. Has all the basic necessities. Conveniently located. Initially had a difficult time getting into our VRBO, perhaps I was just misunderstanding the directions. The owner did respond initially when I had concerns.

Empty Nesters in Custer

We dropped our youngest off at college and decided a fun way to celebrate was staying in Custer. When we booked our stay we were hoping to be downtown Custer. The property is in the exact center of the downtown shopping, restaurants and nightlife!!! This place hits so many marks high that we will have a hard time with other properties now. The apartment is on the back side of the historic 1890 building, how cool, but has been entirely remodeling on a stunning modern meets old west. The new LVT rolls with the amazing original floors, probably the coolest feature to us. The owners left us personal touches that made it feel like staying at a friend's property rather than a complete stranger. Again, AMAZING! The last thing to review is the bed......I don't know what type of mattress that is but I want to know because it was the most comfortable bed we had slept on in years. Put this one on your list if you find yourself in the area for sure!

Location, location, location

The location was right in the heart of Custer - being able to walk to eat, shop and hike was great. The location also is within 30 minutes' drive of the area's attractions. The apartment looked exactly like the photos. Everything was nice, clean and fresh. After four nights, only a couple of negatives were evident - the super uncomfortable futon/couch and lack of bathmat after showering. Everything else was thoughtful (hooks in the bathroom) and comfortable (bed).
