The Laughin Place allows you to spend less of your precious family and vacation time driving and spend more of that precious time doing the things that matter. Right in the middle of it all, with easy access to highways and attractions, The Laughin' Place is a mile high, and is nearly surrounded by both the fabulous Custer State Park and the spectacular Black Hills National Forest. Both offer you easy access to hundreds and hundreds of acres of hiking, animal sighting, and exploring. So close to everything, yet so private.

Our cabin is a tri level home, very easy and comfortable. Much of it is finished in knotty pine, with a soaring slate chimney. The kitchen is updated with hickory cabinets, side by side refrigerator and glass top range. We have all the conveniences you'd expect at home. The loft looks out over the living room below, and features a door leading to its own private outdoor deck. The lower level features an impressive slate wall, a second kitchen, and walks out on to our lush yard.

Bathrooms remodeled and refreshed in 2021. Walk in showers in both bathrooms now, a nice update.

The main floor master bedroom has a king size TempurPedic bed. The loft has two twin beds and also a day bed with a trundle if you need it, a total of four twin beds. The lower bedroom has a queen size bed. The lower level den has a sofa.

Our expansive decks allow a person or two to relax with a quiet cup of coffee in the morning sun. Later on, you can watch the evening shadows fall, reliving your day with friends and family around the propane fire table.

The Laughin' Place is ideally located for your Black Hills vacation plans. Custer State Park is literally a stone's throw. Custer City is quick trip by car or an easy bike ride, coming and going. Outdoor fun abounds in every direction. Biking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, running and exploring.

    Great location in The Black Hills. Easy to come and go to various activities. The owner was quick and easy to communicate with. The kids (7, 9, 11) had a grand time exploring the property and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit. I REALLY appreciated having the basics - coffee filters, tissues, foil, salt/pepper, oil. Thanks much!!!

    Couldn’t be more conveniently located for morning and evening wildlife cruises in Custer State Park. Stargazing decks. Minimal traffic, well stocked, large and tasteful home. Friendly Custer City just the right distance away and real history, not the boring kind.

    This property managed to WOW 3 generations of our family (including 2 initially resistant teens). THEN, we explored all the amazingly close lakes, mountains, trails, wildlife, towns, and historic Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse. Thank you for blessing our family with your incredible vacation home!

    We always stay in the Custer area and this cabin will not disappoint. After a busy day riding the motorcycle we couldn’t believe how peaceful the surroundings were. The owners were easy to communicate with even though we really didn’t need to. Everything was explained as shown. Disappointed we couldn’t build a fire but the outside gas fire table worked great. This cabin would be great for families.

    The home did live up to its name The Amazing Cabin. We arrived and everything was as described in the listing. The house was clean and well stocked. It was centrally located to all the things we wanted to do and see. Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Sylvan Lake, the Wildlife Loop and many more. The owners were helpful with any and all of our questions. My wife and I had a great time and would recommend this home.

    Wonderful property. We had a friendly deer visit every morning which made by 5yr olds day. Enough space for the other couple to have their privacy. So many extras included that we didn't know. Only thing I wish was they had was a highchair for my infant so I didn't have to haul mine all the way there. Literally right across from Custer State Park boundaries. Take the back gravels to see so many wild things. Such a beautiful place. We will be back!

    Wonderful place to stay. It was perfectly situated to where all our ventures were. Our daughter was in a wedding in Custer State park and it was a was a nice drive to and from the wedding venue. This VRBO was peaceful, quiet, and comfortable. The setting was great with all the comforts of home.
