Custer Area Retreat on 40 Acres: Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Trails & Views

Awesome place. Will be back!

This property was exactly what we were looking for! It is secluded and peaceful but not too far away from town and activities. The view from the front porch is amazing and the hot tub was nice after a long day of exploring. Everyone in our group said the cabin was their favorite part and we all agreed we would love to come stay again! Dave was great with communication and making sure we were doing okay. 10/10 recommend booking!

The house was great. It was clean and ready to go when we got there. The host was amazing. He checked in a couple times to make sure everything was going good.

Absolutely incredible cabin, tucked into the surrounding forest of the black hills, easy/scenic drives to many of the national park attractions and local towns, our family had wonderful time exploring the area with this as our home base.

The stay was wonderful, very peaceful. Amenities were very nice.

We lived the location- close to Crazy Horse Monument and to Custer but no noise on the property except for the wind and wild life. We heard elk! (My first time) We walked everyday on the property. We enjoyed the deck and how well the property fit everyone. We grilled out and ate out 1 night in Custer. Beautiful kitchen to cook in. We also loved that the basics were there- ketchup, odds and ends. Maybe we got lucky with that..?. We did a lot of things in the area- Custer state park, Jewel cave, etc. hands down would rent here again! I’m sad we didn’t get to use the great big fire ring. This place is perfect if you want access to what the Black Hills area offers but also might just want to stay home and sit on the deck for a day!

Great weekend at an incredible spot!

We have gone to the Hills for a family get together for the last 10 years. This cabin is by far the best place ever! Spotlessly clean, spacious and stocked with all the essentials and more. Loved the hot tub and the awesome deck with the spectacular view! Such a peaceful and secluded location. We plan to come back next year for sure. Highly recommend!

Awesome, beautiful property inside and outside. We especially enjoyed the large wrap-around deck. Great views! Super place to hangout with our kids, grandkids, and dogs. The property feels secluded and private, which we loved. So quiet and peaceful. The house is very well-stocked, and the hosts are great!

2025 is our third family vacation at this house on French Creek. Amazing! The house is clean and efficient with ample space for each family to have privacy. Kids love the swing and pool table. Hot tub is a must. Early on our second morning we saw five bull elk in the meadow in front of the house. How awesome is that!!?Hosts are very attentive without hovering, great attention to detail. Love the quiet, clean air and mountain views. Check-in couldn't be simpler. Thanks Sarah & Dave

The house was wonderful! Very well stocked. The property was stunning. Great for hikes or enjoying dinner on the deck.

The property was as amazing as it looks in the photos and more! Dave's communication was impressive! I can't say enough about this whole experience!

Easily one of the best cabins we’ve ever been too. If you like to cook the kitchen has anything you could need. Same with activities for the whole family. The property was absolutely a paradise. We LOVED it. Every time I thought I might need something I’d simply find it already provided.

Beautiful property with amazing views and lots to do in great location. Dave and Sarah are excellent hosts!

The property was beautiful and the house was very clean and well stocked. It was a great base for our family as we explored the Black Hills.

We have rented quite a few vacation homes and this is one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. It was very clean and had everything our family of 8 needed to have an amazing time. Communication with the host was excellent and we loved the seclusion, privacy, and most of all the beautiful setting and access to hiking and mountain biking trails. Would give it 10 stars if possible!

We enjoyed a lovely three night stay and would highly recommend this property. Excellent communication from hosts, welcoming flowers and chocolate, cozy and beautiful home. We saw countless deer on the property and enjoyed the hottub and stunning deck. Many games available and a pool table led to great times with the kids.

Had a great time with family of 4 exploring the Black Hills area we lived the privacy and beauty of the property! Fully stocked kitchen and loved the pool table and hot tub! The fireplace was also nice for us as it snowed !

We loved being able to get so secluded with this property, close enough to town to get whatever you need but not having to contend with neighbors was awesome. The house was super clean, roomy and in good condition, the bathrooms are amazing.

Very relaxing and peaceful

Cannot say enough about this property and host…beautiful, restorative, quiet, fully stocked, comfortable, spacious, responsive & communicative…. Know that you are getting remote and quiet. This is what our group wanted and it delivers perfectly! To include bugling elk! Amazing kitchen and baths. Beds were a touch soft for our crew, but that’s a very personal preference. Fire ban in effect during our stay because it was so dry. We were looking forward to fires and I’m sure they would have been top notch with the beautiful and substantial fireplace and fire pit. Thanks so much Dave & Sandy for creating such an amazing home and stewarding these very special lands.

House was very well equipped and nicely furnished. The best part was the properties secluded location with National Forest Land surrounding it. Elk were bugling down the valley and the stars were awesome.
