    Inadequate internet service, mattress needs to be replaced and the toilet you had to sit on it sideways! The toilet should be turned 15 degrees to be able to use it properly. The AC didn’t work and it was a hot box. We tried calling the property management company and it was after hours. That got us nowhere. We checked out 2 days early

    Small tiny house. Area around the cabin contains with weeds that are not suitable for dogs. Did not stay at property upon arrival and chose one of the many other places in town to stay.

    When we found this little piece of heaven, the price was what we could afford. After reading the descriptions of what was available, we still brought food to cook because we knew there was an electric grill which worked out well for us.Sitting on the toilet sideways was weird, lol.The outdoor propane fire pit was really enjoyable first night we got there. Seeing a buck deer bounce through while having coffee in the morning was awesome and seeing turkeys in near by area.This was just a little too small for us in the amount of time we stayed but over all really comfortable. Thank you again for having us.

    Great location & nice clean place. Only recommendations are a new mattress/pillows, kitchen sink & toilet is in a bad spot.

    The cabin is exactly as listed - it’s small, but we weren’t looking for a lot of space. Everything was clean, the wifi worked great, and it’s in the best location and close to everything we wanted to do. We ended up spending a full day in the cabin due to rain and that was a little cramped but we made the most of it and had a great time. The air freshener was a little aggressive but easily remedied. Would definitely stay here again!

    Came to the Custer area for the Buffalo Round-up. This cute little cabin was clean, cozy, and had a great location to many area attractions.

    Super cute, cozy and very clean. The perfect little cabin minutes away from everything! We loved sitting outside by the fireplace watching the stars and listening to the wind rustling through the pine trees. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Buck Horn Lookout and look forward to staying there again in the near future.
