Custer stay

Overall the house was great. It was nice to have no direct neighbors and a fenced in yard for our dogs! I would definitely swap out the carpet everywhere being it is dog friendly and the sanitary factor with that. There could have been a little more description on how to work the heat and where units were located. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some family meals. The host was super wonderful with early check in and responsive. Would rent again!

Great place

What a wonderful home to stay at. Everything you could possibly need was provided in the kitchen. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. We enjoyed the morning visits from the wild turkey flock and the deer family! The proximity to all the parks was so convenient. We are already planning a return trip for the summer.

Great location

Just outside of town, backing up to national forest. Took lots of beautiful walks with our dog. The outside dog area was great. The neighbors in residence were friendly and helpful. Had a blast every morning watching the rabbits, turkeys and deer.

Great location, modest house, phenomenal backyard

Really enjoyed our stay here. The house was exactly what my family needed for the week, and was very nicely located near Custer. The backyard had large rock formations that the kids loved climbing on and the deck with the grill and fireplace was a nice amenity. The only downside was that the sink had a pipe underneath that was broken and the owner had remedied by sticking a tub underneath to catch leakage. Also, the owner was not very quick to respond to emails throughout the week.

Fun getaway

This was a great getaway for 9 adults, teens, and babies. Close to many attractions, Wind cave, Jewel cave, and Mount Rushmore. Property was well maintained with a great deck to read, make s’mores, and relax. We had some deer visit us each morning and night. Good price for the area. Would recommend!!

The property itself is very well kept. You can tell there's been upgrades made recently which is a plus. The only downside was the internet company was repairing the line and shut off the wifi for several hours. Everything else was great though

SD Trip

Beautiful area! Our overall stay was wonderful. The location was close to downtown Custer and somewhat secluded. However, my daughter's room smelled musty, and the shower had mildewed around the shower door. It had 3 bedrooms with plenty of beds for a large group/family. We didn't bring our pets but there is a large fenced-in yard for dogs. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay.

Wonderful secluded home near Custer

Everything was lovely with this home. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals and the large outdoor was a joy for eating. Check-in was easy. Best of all was the big screen Smart TV for watching movies at night. Will definitely return.

Great location

The house needed a little extra cleaning. The towels smelled bad, the shower door has a gross crust around it, and not everything was dusted. The kitchen is missing some essentials (cutting boards, large frying pan, serving spoons, etc). The "leaving" instructions need to include "clean up your dogs poop". I had to clean up A LOT of other people's dog poop when we arrived. It's a great location and we enjoyed the overall experience.

Great spot!

This is a great spot to use as a base camp to explore Custer and the surrounding areas. The fenced yard is great for dogs and the deck is a nice place to spend time outside, the scenery in the yard is beautiful. We also cooked meals and spent time relaxing at the house. We love Custer and this place worked wonderfully!

My wife and I stayed here with our 2 young boys and another couple. It was just outside of the main area of town, and was the perfect location. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the deer. It was quiet, but convenient being close to town. I would definitely stay here again!

SD get away

Went to cut firewood at my sister's property. Stayed at this lovely place. Loved how piecful it was. Loved having the fenced yard for our dog which is very hard to find when traveling with a dog and she's a runner if she gets a way. So have that yard made it so worth it. And we will definitely be renting this place any time we go to my sister's property up there.

Nice stay

Everything was nearly perfect. Location, surroundings, cabin organization. We enjoyed staying outside on patio. The dog faience is very handy particularly at night. My recommendation to managers of the property to put heavy window curtains to master bedroom - this will keep it cooler in the summer. Thank you!

Overpriced

Well located and had enough beds, so it met those needs for our stay. However, for the price I expected much more than received. The kitchen was poorly appointed (no large bowls to mix anything. No large spoons for cooking/serving). The TV was unwatchable, a “smart” tv, but hulu plus and netflix were the only viewing options, could not add anything else (appletv or disney plus or amazon) - therefore my kids could not watch anything. The overall feel of the place was slightly dirty despite that it was obvious that cleaning had taken place (carpet was still wet in spots). If they had charged half as much, I would have given 5 stars and felt that I had received what I had paid for.
