Quick trip to the west
We took our family to the monuments for fall break. The cabin was great. The location was wonderful. Lots of wildlife. There was a fire ban, so we don’t get to use the wonderful fire pit! My husband loved the sauna. The only negative was the WiFi. We used. Hotspot and things worked out.

Charming Black Hills Cabin
This was a great home for my family and my sister in laws family. We had 9 total and all fit comfortably. It was unseasonably warm a few days so the AC was a very nice touch. The hot tub was a great way to unwind at night as well! I’d definitely stay here again if I was in the black hills. Just minutes from Custer yet we felt like we in a quiet secluded area.

The property was well maintained and appointed. The beds were very comfortable (which is sometimes not the case at VRBOs). It was a nice spot for our family. We also liked its close proximity to Custer, a darling town nestled in the Black Hills.
