Great time!
The home and property are very, very nice! Very secluded, but yet very close to town, which makes it very convenient! The home is comfortable, lots of kitchen space, large, wraparound deck, and the hot tub felt awesome once the sun went down and the air cooled. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Great place for our family of 5!
Best vacation ever! Everything was perfect! It was just my husband, three kids and I and we had more than enough room! Another family or two could have easily stayed with us. We loved the kitchen and hot tub the best! We stayed at the end of June and didn’t need to use air conditioning at all! Great place with lots of wild life and room to explore!

Amazing
This property was perfect. Great location. Communication was excellent. We even locked ourself out and they answered right away. The house had everything you would need for a family. We saw deer daily and the hot tub was great after a long day of exploring. It was nice to be able to use the season pass for Custer park. I would recommend this property to anyone

Perfect family vacation spot
The house was perfect! We had a 21 year old son, 70 year old mom, and my wife and I, and everyone had a beautiful room that was spacious and clean. The kitchen was amazing - we made breakfast and dinner most days, and having a dishwasher made it that much better! The location of the home allowed for lots of wildlife including turkeys, deer and marmots(?), and we were lucky enough to be there when the aurora borealis was visible and the views from the house were unbeatable. Having the Custer State Park pass in the house book was an added bonus - we thoroughly enjoyed the park. Thank you for a great visit to Custer!

Fantastic stay
Loved the house! It was spacious and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast every morning. The location was close to town and seeing all the sights. Custer is a great lil town to drive through the Black Hills. Hostess was great to deal with. Thank you South Dakota for a great vacation stay. South Dakota was quite a surprise as to how beautiful it is! Thanks

The home was as expected based on listing, with the exception of the hot tub. It wasn’t working appropriately and every time we thought we had it figured out we were wrong. Instructions or labeling for the hot tub breaker box(s) would have been very helpful.
