Description:

Beautiful three bedroom, two bath, log home with new modern amenities. An open floor plan that allows family and friends to inclusively prepare meals while enjoying wonderful views of the natural beauty from every window and the crackling of the fireplace and/or while watching the 65” television with free Wi-Fi internet access. Two king size beds and one queen over queen bunk bed.

For those looking for alone time, there is an open air three season reading room ideal for phone calls, work or simply reading a book in an oversized leather chair with a cup of hot coffee or a chilled adult beverage.

The kitchen has pots, pans, plates, utensils, etc. to create memorable vacation meals and offers a healthy economical alternative to eating meals at local restaurants. Also, unlike many of the rural homes in the Black Hills area, there is excellent well water available from the tap. In fact, most folks choose to bottle our fresh ice cold tap water for their day trips.

COVID-19:

Please follow the current recommended PPE protocols during the time of travel.

Weather Considerations and Access:

The weather in South Dakota, although unpredictable, is beautiful. The air is fresh with moderate temperatures during the summer months. Occasional afternoon showers will not be an access concern, unlike many rentals in the Black Hills having miles of dirt roads, because the house has a paved driveway. No cause for concern with the summer hail as the house has an overly large attached two car garage available for parking your personal car, motorcycle and/or the rental car.

Wildlife:

Almost daily, deer frequent the yard in the evenings, bluebirds abound and squirrels playfully chatter from the trees.

Additional Amenities:

We have fishing poles available for kids to enjoy the free fishing, for those 12 years of age or younger, in the many nearby lakes, without parents having to invest in this gear for a one time vacation outing. Lawn chairs and coolers are also made available. For those with toddlers or babies, we provide a Pack-n-Play and a booster seat for the car.

Local Access:

The house is less than 1 mile from the community golf course, 3 miles from downtown Custer, 3 miles from a new 76 bed community hospital, 6 miles from the Custer State Park entrance, 9 miles from Crazy Horse Memorial, 20 miles from Mt. Rushmore and 72 miles of beautiful Black Hills riding to Sturgis. In fact, the best riding in the Black Hills is in the Custer area through the Needles Highway.

    Loved the fireplace and relaxing atmosphere. It was easy to get meals ready since we have allergies to wheat and other food items. Hope to visit again.

    We loved our stay here. As other reviews stated it had ton of extras in the house but we were still shocked how stocked the house was including games and kitchen supplies. Our dog loved the house and the nice dog beds. We will make sure to rent this place again on our next stay.

    We were in town for our sons wedding and the house was perfect, family gathered together with plenty of room. The house was loaded with helpful extras. We asked if we could arrive a little early and that wasn’t a problem. They were very accommodating. We would recommend this property to everyone.

    Excellent location and very clean home! Lots of great cookware in the kitchen, we appreciated having lots of extras-paper towels, paper plates, napkins, soap, nice quality towels! Our dog was very happy here, it was nice being on a larger lot with space from neighbors. We hope to stay again when in the area.

    We were fortunate to enjoy a variety of weather conditions that allowed us to soak up the sun on the deck, enjoy cool breezes on the screened in porch, and cozy up to a fire in the fireplace during a light late spring snow. We had a clear view to the snow on the Cathedral Spires of Needles Highway from the screened in porch - lovely. There is so much to appreciate about this property - it's location, it's positioning off the highway but visible from it, its proximity to groceries and fabulous dining, its paved driveway and usable garages, and its multiple outdoor spaces for morning coffee and afternoon lunches. An incredibly thoughtful owner. When you experience this level of hospitality, your ONLY response should be to respect the property, its belongings, and exit it with the same level of thoughtfulness and care as the owner. Our bed and bedding was so comfortable that I had the best sleep on any vacation I've had in a long time. In short, we'll be back and it can't come soon enough.

The host was great to communicate with if we had questions. Our kids loved the telescope that was there to check out the night sky, and all the games! We would definitely choose this location again!

    Arlene’s cabin had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The home was very clean, well maintained, and conveniently located close to downtown. There were plenty of thoughtful extras that made our visit feel easy and cozy. Our dog especially loved having space to run around in the yard, which made it even better for the whole family.Arlene was a fantastic host, friendly, polite, and very communicative throughout our entire stay. She made everything smooth from start to finish. We truly enjoyed our time here and will definitely keep this cabin in mind for future visits.

    Traveled with my parents, husband, and 2 year old and we fell in love with this cabin! We felt more like guests in someone’s home and not just a rental. The beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on (memory foam?), the views, the space, its close to Custer and several hot spots. There are so many amenities and little extras that just make you feel at home. The home is very toddler and dog friendly. There’s a pack n play, high chair, booster seat, kids dinnerware. For dogs, there are several leads, dog beds, treats etc. would definitely book again.

    We had the best weekend celebrating my birthday and spending time with friends who are like family! The house was laid out perfectly, making it so comfortable and easy to relax. The beds were super comfortable, and the queen-size bunk beds made the perfect kids’ room—such a great setup! The owner truly thought of everything—from a well-stocked kitchen (condiments included!) to a great selection of toys and games. The quality of the dishware, pots, and pans really stood out too. We felt right at home and can’t wait to come back!

    This is a really cute cabin in a nice, quiet neighborhood with stunning views of the black hills. We enjoyed hanging out on the 2 porches, taking in the fresh pine tree smell. The property was extremely well equipped with all of the basics. The owners take care of everything, so there is nothing to worry about during your stay. It's right off highway 16, so it's very convenient to get to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, and Custer state Park.

    Had a great vacation in the black hills with our granddaughter. This house was set up with everything we needed to cook meals and hang out after a day of sightseeing. The yard was a bonus as we brought along our Lab who enjoyed running around and fetching up his toys. House was clean and comfortable to stay in. Would recommend this home if you’re in Custer.

    We used this home as a base for exploring the Black Hills. It was only 1 minute from the Custer sign, making the location convenient to get groceries or go out to eat. The beds are memory foam and are comfortable. All the appliances are new, and the home even had amenities for our dogs! We brought our Halo collars, which worked perfectly, keeping our dogs within the property lines. The view from the dining room is stunning! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay near Custer. It was a beautiful home that had everything we needed and more!

The home was so nicely furnished, perfectly clean, all the amenities you could ask for. Outside was nice with plenty of room for us to have friends over and celebrate a birthday. Played corn hole and ladder toss. Room for football. It was such a great weekend. Definitely worth the money.

    We had a great time in Custer, attending the Buffalo Round Up and visiting nearby sites. The house is in a great location for all Black Hills festivities. Our host kindly allowed early check in as we had been camping nearby. We had 7 adults and one baby, and the house had plenty of room for all. While the house was clean, there was a fly problem, which probably seemed more predominant because we had a baby. We had to continue to clean these throughout our 3 day stay.
