McCrazy family reunion

Great location, close to Custer and the attractions. Plenty of hot water. Big kitchen, more then 2 people can work in it at a time. Lot of recliners. Beautiful deck with a lower railing so you can see the beautiful scenery while seated. Garage was empty, we could pull our cars in if needed. We saw rabbits, cows, turkey, and bird.

Excellent

It was everything we needed and then some. Loved the firepit, the kitchen and porches. It was out in the open enough that the kids could play outside. We had a great view of the mountains. Short distance from everything we wanted to see. The property manager was very accessible and responded to all our questions. Had a great time.

Lots of space

This house really fit our needs. There was room for everyone to have their own "space" if someone needed time away from the group. It was rather interesting watching a cow wander the property next door. Also the chickens were cute to watch too. We could have used a chair in the master bedroom. That would be nice to have when getting dressed. Also, the ice maker didn't work so it would have been nice to have a bag of ice in the freezer when we arrived. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the sunsets. The host was very responsive with answers to questions and even asked us how things were going.

Peaceful Meadows in Custer, SD

I love the open floor plan of this property. Whether you’re in the kitchen, dining area or family room everyone is together. There was plenty of room for our party of 13. The kiddos loved the tree swing and all of us loved the swings on and under the deck. The wrap around deck provided amazing views and plenty of space to relax. Cornhole and the fire pit in the evening were hits! The second kitchen downstairs came in handy. The property is only a few minutes to downtown Custer. Loved it here!!

Exactly what our family needed. Space and location and time together

Peaceful Meadows is the perfect location for a family retreat. Close to all South Dakota Black Hills has to offer, but tucked away from the crowds. The views of South Dakota from the living room and master bedroom are stunning. The home is clean, well maintained and well appointed. There was easy room for the 10 of us, Although there is a second kitchen downstairs, our family gathered upstairs, but it was a perfect option for two separate groups. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms enough for the stay. Kitchen utensils, towels and extra linens were easy to find. There was a high chair for our little one and gates - loved the gates - on stairways. I will definitely recommend this VRBO to others. Thank you Kelli for being being there when I called. This was my families first time out since the COVID and I really needed the trip to be flawless. It was.

Perfect Stay

We had a group of 8 (4 children, 4 adults) and the cabin was a perfect home-base for our activities. We utilized the 2nd fridge in the basement and the kitchen was well equipped for making meals. We spent most of our days sightseeing but the evenings on the deck watching the sunset over the hills was an awesome way to end the night. Check in/check out was a breeze and we would love to stay here again when we’re back in the area.

Clean, Spacious, Excellent Location

Our large family (8 adults 3 toddlers) fit perfectly in this beautiful home. The property is very clean and spacious! It felt like coming home when we arrived after a long drive. The property manager was so friendly and helpful before, during, and after our stay. The property is perfectly located just outside of Custer and placed us in a close proximity of all our Black Hills adventures. The property was well stocked and had so many more amenities than we expected! We highly, highly recommend and hope to return.

Wonderful place to stay

Went to the Custer area to explore everything the area has to offer. The house was close enough to visit Custer State Park twice and was fortunate to see many buffalo. The house was well stocked with many extras that you often do not see in a VRBO. I highly recommend staying here.

Truly Peaceful

We had 7 adults and 5 children (ages 4-10). No negatives to report. After long days at the numerous local attractions, the peace and quiet was very welcomed. Bunk bedroom worked out perfect for the kids. The single adult used the rollaway bed - set up in the downstairs kitchen. The deck was used a lot for morning coffee or star gazing at night. We used the grill a few times and the kitchen had everything we needed. We strongly recommend the place and will stay again next time we decide to visit the area.

Family Reunion

We had an amazing time at Peaceful Meadows. The property is truly peaceful. Lots of seating and eating areas, great gathering spaces and all the amenities needed for comfort (bathrooms, laundry, etc). Truly an exceptional stay and will come again if we ever reunite in the Black Hills. The location also can’t be beat, right outside Custer State Park. The host was just a text away if we ever needed anything and we all really felt at home. Thanks for a wonderful stay! Sincerely, The Brandt Family

Beautiful setting and setup!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Peaceful Meadows! The house and setting are both more beautiful than they appear in the photos and “peaceful” is very accurate! We loved being adjacent to Custer State Park and driving through to get places. We found the house very well equipped and extremely comfortable for our party—we had six adults (parents and grandparents) and five children ranging in age from 3-11. Well stocked kitchen and comfy beds! Bring your own cheese grater—the house has everything else :) The bunk room was perfect for the kids! We enjoyed the firepit for s’mores (wood and roasting sticks provided!) and watching the fireworks on July 4 from the lovely wraparound deck! It was all truly ideal for our group. The host responded very promptly to my questions. Thank you for a great stay!!

Everything about the house was incredible. The location, the space, the view, the amenities, the porch. we could not have asked for anything better. We would definitely recommend staying here. A truly wonderful experience. The kids loved it. We saw deer almost every morning and evening. there was plenty of room for the kids to run around in the yard and to sit around the fire pit toasting marshmellows.

Winter stay

This is our second stay at this property ❤️❤️. We rented this for the New Year weekend to go sledding ( sad to say there was not enough snow at the Tim e and we didn’t want to travel anywhere else in the area) but we found other things to do…Crazy Horse, wildlife loop and hiking. The property is in a great location close to a bunch of stuff to do….owner has a nice list that you can look at. Very roomy, clean, great porch to sit and watch wildlife ( deer came down from the trees while we sat and watched). Fire pit outside with an open area where we played touch football 😁. The kids and grandkids are already planning our next trip there

Great place for a SD getaway...

Peaceful Meadows was centrally located to all the activities our two large families participated in as well as local amenities such as a grocery store. The house was clean, well stocked, and had plenty of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the views and wildlife, and the large kitchen/dining space was nice for cooking meals. Communication with the host/manager was prompt and informative.
