The property was pretty clean inside. Exterior not well maintained with overgrown weeds, a falling apart grill, and the deck needing painted. Some mold above the shower on the wall also. Front door lock did not work for our entire stay. The pictures online made it appear nicer than it was. Honestly my family was very disappointed especially for the cost. For the money I would not stay here again.

The hot tubs lacked privacy (multiple cameras positioned 9 ft from them) and the grill was so dirty with no tools to resolve we had to change plans for dinner that night (something that should have been cleaned before guest arrival).

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.
