We stayed 3 nights and McKenzie made us feel right at home. She gave advice on restaurants and other need-to-know items when we checked in. Coffee and breakfasts were greatly appreciated and always right at the time promised. All furniture in the common room and outside was very comfortable as was the bed in our room. Thisnis a lovely property. Highly recommend Dakota Dream for anyone traveling to the Custer area!

A little piece of paradise— A vacation within our vacation. Close to everything we wanted to do and see. Our host, Mackenzie, was beyond amazing and so accommodating. (And we loved our breakfast and coffee waiting for us in the mornings) We enjoyed every second of our stay and are making plans to return next year. Can’t recommend Dakota Dream enough!

Fantastic getaway location

We had a short 2-night stay and wish we could have stayed longer! Mackenzie is super welcoming and friendly! Her breakfast was excellent, too! The property is quiet and beautiful and the accommodations were perfect. And my 6’3” husband slept so well in the comfy bed. 😀

Staying at the Dakota Dream B&B was GREAT! We stayed in the main house to have the breakfast provided. There are cabins on the property, but no breakfast. The hostess was friendly, great cook and very attentive. The location was just what we wanted for our 8 day exploring of the Black Hills. If you like nice accommodations, friendly hostess, breakfast cooked for you and a quiet/relaxing location, just minutes from Custer, SD, then this is the place.

Our stay at Dakota Dream

Excellent Facilities. The Hostess was most gracious and easy to talk with. The home was a beautiful cabin on a large quiet property close and convenient to town and attractions. The food was excellent and the furnishings top shelf. We highly recommend Dakota Dream to all travelers.

Most Beautiful Place We Stayed in South Dakota

The online pictures of Dakota Dream Ranch are not as nice as the real thing. MacKenzie and her daughter were MOST FABULOUS hostesses. Breakfasts were wonderful, the lodge looked and smelled beautiful and far exceeded our expections. MacKenzie even let us upgrade our room upon arrival. Out of all of the places we stayed in South Dakota, this was the VERY BEST!

Peaceful and relaxing

The property is very well kept, everything we needed was provided and any questions we had were answered promptly. The host was attentive and provided a wonderful, delicious breakfast! The room we stayed in was comfortable and clean. There were games available from dominos to a ring game outside for adults or kids. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a place to stay that is near many attractions. If I had brought my kids with me, I'm sure this would have been a favorite stop for them. Thanks for making our short stay a great one!

We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay.

The experience was great. Before hand, the owner let us know that her daughter had the flu & she was worried about spreading it you’d. She said she would give us an upgrade if we could get our own breakfast. Not only did she up grade us, but she did get us breakfast as well. She was great!

Dakota Dream is Indeed a Dream!

I decided on a last minute weekend getaway and stumbled upon the Dakota Dream BNB, and it was indeed a dream. Just a few miles away from Custer State Park, and many other great attractions, the location was perfect. Nestled in the woods outside of town, the setting was beautiful and relaxing. No detail has been overlooked from the authentic cabin feel, cool decor, comfy bed, soft and sweet smelling towels, I felt instantly at home. The vibe at Dakota Dream is all peace and love, and the owner was friendly, helpful, and a genuinely lovely person, Be sure not to miss breakfast, because Mackenzie's breakfast is a delicious way to start the day! I can not wait to return!
