    We had a quiet and wonderful stay in the woods of Custer. We had a large family to accommodate and this did the trick. The owners were responsive and very helpful!

    Everything was good except the 3 mice we saw and their remains in the drawers, countertop, cupboards, and sofa sleeper.

    We had an amazing trip to South Dakota for our Spring Break. The location was perfect to see Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Wind Cave NP, Mammoth Site. We knew we were going at an off time so we did have to do more research to find restaurants in the area that were open but the home was perfect for making most meals in. We grocery shopped in town (10 minutes away) and were able to feed our group of 9 easily in the house. The home was exactly as pictured. It was perfect for a large group. We had a great time making memories and would recommend it to everyone wanting a vacation in the Black Hills.

    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:)
