Grandma's House in the Woods, 3/4 mile to Custer

We arrived late no lights on. It was VERY hot. Bedrooms have noisy floor unit AC that is vented out window. Light comes in early since blinds cant close completely. I barely slept due to noisy AC. Bathroom has fabric blinds that don’t close entirely and a trailer is parked with a window right across from it that can see in. Owner is living in trailer. I would not have booked knowing owner is living inches away. Owner stated they don’t look out window on that side of trailer. I checked the ad and it says on site this season for renovations. I do recall seeing this when I booked last FALL a year later owner is still on site looking further back for reviews owner has been on site for years. This should’ve been in listing - “this season” is false. No photos of trailer that is right next to the porch behind bbq. Older videos of this home look much nicer. Either way I informed them we would be using smaller shower in garage. They offered to call someone to put up plywood on window. If they are onsite for renovations I would think they could do this. It was surface clean but couch hasn’t been vacuumed in quite awhile, stove drawer full of expired cookies. The carpet is pretty nasty my socks were filthy walking on it. Owner is responsive but having them onsite was uncomfortable. No fence for dogs. Owner has a dog run area for their dog. We had friends over bbq is in front of their trailer within earshot. Would not have stayed here had I known owners are on site.

Very roomy , quiet and clean. The facilities were very user friendly. The host was very helpful in all areas. I would definitely return to stay again

This was a very beautiful area to get away and be in nature. The Black Hills Offers much to do in the area and the house offers privacy and beautiful nature.

This property was described as a 3 bed 3 bath space. There was only one full bathroom inside the actual house. The second bathroom was located in an attached garage outside the living area. There was no 3rd toilet at all. There were folks living on the property directly behind the house, so you are not alone there. We were in Custer for a funeral and the location worked out perfectly for us however. The host was attentive to concerns we had but a few problems noted were never actually resolved. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this property.

Very nice property, very suitable for bikers as well with ample garage space for several bikes. We grilled every night on a very nice BBQ grill provided as well. We have booked for another vacation later in the year !!!

We had a delightful stay at Grandma's House in the Woods. The check-in and check-out process was smooth. The home was clean and comfortable. The owner replied quickly to any questions that we had and had a repair person on the property the same day to fix one small problem with the internet connection. She contacted me about one item I left at the home, and made arrangements to mail it to me. We enjoyed the amenities and the location was lovely outside of town in the ponderosa pine forest. Would highly recommend to other guests considering a stay.

Great host

Grandmas house is the perfect place to stay on your trip to Mount Rushmore and all the attractions in the area. Prime location. The house was perfect and comfortable. I did have issues with checking in but that was not the fault of the host or the place. The host was very attentive and made sure we were comfortable. We will definitely stay there again on our return trip.

Beautiful place. We had a restful vacation. Loved the private location.

Fantastic location. Great location for sightseeing and privacy. We enjoyed walking the dogs in the wooded area. Very comfortable and the hostess, Vicky, was great. She went above and beyond. Thank you for having us and sharing your Mother’s home with us.

This is our second time staying at Grandma’s. It’s a great location just a short distance from town. All the amenities are as advertised and Vicki is a very responsive host. We can’t wait to go back!

Thank you! Everything was exactly as expected- clean, good location, easy entry and checking. In and out. Will recommend!

A nice place with everything we needed. A great yard and wooded area for walking with my dog.

Clean place

What a great house in the woods! The rental was clean, well stocked with everything we needed for a week, quiet, secluded. We enjoyed our stay immensely! Our host communicated promptly and pleasantly. The owner stopped with a loaf of fresh baked sourdough bread! Loved everything about our stay!

Loved staying here! The property was beautiful and we liked spending the nights out on the porch. The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked and had everything we needed! We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great time staying at Grandma's Cabin. It is centrally located to so many beautiful sites in Custer, SD. It was clean, and had everything we needed. Vicki, the host, was so sweet and attentive. My only complaint was that we didn't know the second bathroom was in the garage.

Everything was great the host the owner the only thing that needs attention is all the living room furniture needs replacing it looks nice until you set on it and its all broken down,l finally brought in a rocking chair from the porch to watch tv.like l said everything else was great

Very accommodating. Loved the pourch area, very relaxing. Loved the big washer and dryer. Vicki & Taylor are so sweet, and ready to help. We would definitely stay there again.

We already have reservations here for the next time we’re in Custer. Really nice place to stay!

Very comfy place. Had everything that we needed.

Enjoyed our stay at this great location. Easy access to Custer State Park, Crazy Horse and Mt Rushmore. Loved the town of Custer. Would have liked the 2nd bath to be in house vs garage but it was a very nice bathroom. Well stocked kitchen. Nice parking area. Would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this conveniently located property. The kitchen was very well stocked and we had fun watching the deer and bunnies in the yard.

This is a very cute house that is close to everything, but still gives you the feeling of being out of the hustle and bustle. Great porch with chairs and rocking chairs for families to sit out and talk and laugh. Very clean house with all the amenities you'd need plus the small things that you may habe forgotten to pack, to use. We had 4 adults and 3 kids stay and the house was plenty big for us. The grounds were perfect to play around and walk on some small trails. The communication was always very quick and efficient from the initial booking up until the day of check out, offering us a safe drive home. Definitely a great place to book and can tell the family loves their property and keeps it pristine.

Well equipped kitchen, nice location, attentive host.

Perfect location to tour the Black Hills. The home was very well equipped with everything we could need.

Hours, property, hosts, and location all exceptional! 5 secluded acres, big front porch, 3br2ba, high quality accessories, close to town, quiet, peaceful. Immaculate, comfortable, felt like home and we didnt want to leave. Absolutely incredible place and the owner was like a sister to me. We strongly recommend this place to others and intend to return. The owner recommended Black Hills Burger and Pizza and we got there at 11 when they open and it was full by 11;30am.

Absolutely easy stay. The hostess is terrific! Beautiful location close to Custer. Comfortable beds. Thank you so much!

This was a wonderful peaceful and well located for relaxation or adventure. Custer was just down the road but this place felt like it was our own oasis. Deer turkey and rabbits running through the yard. Peaceful evening where you can see the stars sitting on the covered front porch in the rocking chairs. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Very nice home. Extreme amount of amenities, just like home. Beautiful location away from traffic and the city. Enjoyable 8 days.

Nice property and very clean and quiet. Great location very close to Custer and local attractions.

Beautiful, comfortable house. Not having a bathroom upstairs was not the best, but we made it. Vicki was great to work with! The fresh eggs were greatly appreciated!

Grandma's House was the perfect place for us to stay during the Buffalo Round Up. It was close to town so we could easily go into Custer for whatever we may need and to check out the local shops. Very relaxing to sit on the patio and just enjoy the setting.

The house was welcoming and clean with all of the amenities we needed. Front porch was a perfect place to rest and relax, and we saw wild turkeys, deer and bunnies in the yard! Location was great, very close to Custer and just a short drive to Custer State Park. Highly recommended, especially for those traveling with dogs

Grandma's House in the woods was perfect place for us. Beautiful views quiet area in the Black Hills only a mile out of Custer. The property is very well kept , everything works and even supplied farm fresh eggs which we gobbled up. The host is a wonderful Grandma who made sure our stay was perfect with perfect communication. If you want a spacious house in the woods with very comfortable beds with a great kitchen 2 full baths, and a wonderful host look no further, oh yes the price was perfect too. Almost forgot the location is central to all the perfect Black Hills. Come stay at Grandma’s house!
