    Perfect location for our stay during the Lean Horse 100. We had three couples and each couple had their own bed and bathroom space. Very comfortable.

    We try to get to Custer every couple of years. This house was great - lots of room and very comfortable. We had a couple of rainy days this year so it was nice to have the extra space to spread out. Oatin was a great host and proactive in reaching out to us. The older kids like walking around downtown Custer and this was a great location, just a couple of blocks off the main strip, but still very quiet. We were surprised that there was actually a nice view off the front porch of the big CUSTER sign and some of the mountains towards the east side of town.

    Custer is a great place to be central for activities in the Black Hills. We hiked in Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park. We visited both Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse. We had a cave tour at Jewel Cave. We rented e-bikes in Hill City for a 35 mile bike ride on the Mickelson Trail. We also drove a loop that went to Devils Tower and Deadwood. Custer has good restaurants and shopping

    The property is old and needs work. Everything from towels to toilet paper was cheap. The listing was not as expected, for example community pool doesn’t open weekends, which is when we stayed. Pool table was in a locked garage with junk on it! With a rental company adding fees, the property was overpriced for what we got. Would not recommend.

    We enjoyed all the room at this house. Everyone felt they had enough space. We wished there were more windows that could be opened as there was no air conditioning and it was very hot when we stayed here.

    Vintage home with plenty of space for family. If you are wanting sparkling new, this is not your place. Comfortable beds. Nice kitchen.

    The basement stinks! If you unplug the Glade plug ins, it smells musty and moldy. There was a double bed in the downstairs bedroom and it’s supposed to be a queen size. There is mold in the bathroom. The deck is a hazard because it’s not finished. And it’s been that way for 2 years, according to past reviews. There is no working dehumidifier in the basement and the exhaust fan does not exhaust to the outside. Someone finally came to cut the grass but did no weed whipping. When I talked to Oatin about the downstairs he brushed it off. We loved the upstairs and it’s wonderful charm. But we really needed that space downstairs that we couldn’t use.

    We were in Custer for a graduation and the house was a wonderful option for our family. Plenty of space for people and a separate wing for our older parents so they didn't have to hear the louder activity when they went to bed in the evening. My mother uses a rollator walker and there was plenty of room to maneuver. We will definitely stay again... hoping for next year at graduation again ?
