**What to expect during the winter** While winter is generally mild we do experience inclement weather and large amounts of snow can fall in a short period of time. As such we DO recommend having a 4-wheel drive vehicle during the winter months. Our driveway will typically be plowed WITHIN 24 hours of receiving 6 inches of snow, but WILL NOT be plowed after every snowfall. For this reason we strongly encourage guests to drive AWD/4-Wheel drive vehicles. We also DO NOT offer snow shoveling service during your stay but provide snow shovels available for your use.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a microwave.

Nice Place in Custer
This was a nice place to stay in Custer and easy to navigate to and from multiple locations in the area. This is the lower unit of a dual rental, which I missed on the property details. We could hear the renters above but luckily they were quiet at night.
