    The Home was Amazing. The perfect space to visit Custer State Park. The road in and out is a little dusty... Neighbors do not seem thrilled with a VRBO in the neighborhood, but honestly we did not even see them and had zero issues. Hope to be back another Day:)

    Beautiful setting, plenty of room for our family of 13 & very clean. This is a very well stocked home. From spices, dishes, baking stuff to a roaster & crockpot. We loved it and will be back.

    The property has everything you need which is covered well in the listing. Two things i found pleasing that I thought I would share. 1. The main level fireplace is wood burning. Since our stay was in November, we enjoyed having a fire every evening. It’s also a very nice wood burning unit. (Everything on this property is nice) 2. The exterior grill and blackstone are plumbed into the main propane line. They are also on a timer for efficiency and safety. One of the biggest concerns for me when renting a cabin is the quality of the outdoor cooking and running out of propane since that is how we cook all of our meals.

    The only thing I didn’t like was the wait process for the info. I’m kind of a OCD lol, and just like to make sure everything is right. The home was def what it says and a home away from home is just the beginning of what beauty you get.

    We rented this property for a family get together and it was perfect! We loved everything about the house and the location of the property. Communication with Kathy about the house was excellent from start to finish! We would love to return again sometime!

    In all of the places we have rented this house was by far the best in exceeding expectation. Exactly as advertised and then some. Plenty of room for the crew of 13 to spread out as well as sleep. The kids loved the pedal boat, feeding the deer and seeing the baby geese. The adults loved all the extra touches. Most places give you one roll of toliet paper, one garbage. Etc. Heavans gate was fully stocked with plenty of supply of all of these things and the communication was exceptional. Cant thank them enough for the stay.
