Tranquil Trailside

Tranquil Trailside is located just 5 miles out side of the historic City of Custer off a paved and well maintained road. This beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house comes furnished and ready for you and your family to enjoy their next get away. Come kick back and rest in this peaceful 2 acre setting with a full length back patio overlooking a pond, farm land, and the Mickelson Trail. Also included is an attached, enclosed 2 car garage to keep your ride dry and safe during your stay.

Main Bedroom has a King size bed with matching dresser for convenient clothes storage during your stay. The Main Bedroom has an en-suite that, if desired, can be accessed (or shut off) from the hallway. This bathroom has an oversized tub and separate shower.
2nd Bedroom has a Queen size bed, dresser and closet.
3rd Bedroom is equipped with a bunk bed that is full size on both top and bottom with a single trundle underneath.
Living room has 2 comfortable Futon Sofas which easily fold out for sleeping or made up for lounging. Extra linens for futons provided.
2nd Bathroom has an easy access shower, toilet and single sink.

Kitchen is well equipped with most all that you would need to prepare for meals with the family. There is a gas stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, Keurig, utensils, dishes, cups and a good amount of counter space!
Clothes washer and dryer are in the hallway and available for your use.
Patio has a gas grill, table and chairs for enjoying those quiet evenings outside enjoying the Black Hills.
The back yard is spacious enough for a family football game! There is a very small pond in the back yard. NO FISH though ... the pond has proved to be too shallow for winter life!

If Trailside doesn't meet your needs exactly take a look at Cozy Creekside Cottage. Creekside is a little smaller but still well stocked and just walking distance from the amenities of Custer City. The VRBO listing number for Creekside is 1160594.

Great house

Home away from home

We prefer home settings as opposed to hotel stays. This was a great location without hustle and bustle while also being in relatively close proximity to various attractions. This was a cozy cabin-like home and all enjoyed their stay! We had 6 adults and a 14th month old so accommodated all of us nicely!!Host was very timely with communication! Highly recommend and would stay again!

Another great stay

This is the second time we stayed here and would certainly stay again and recommend to all. Clean, nice amenities, including washer/dryer, garage, grilll and fire pit and the beds were comfortable! A little glitch when we were waiting for our checkin code, but resolved VERY quickly, did not and would not hinder another stay.

Great spot!

We thoroughly enjoyed this roomy cabin! Space for so many people - great for families and bigger groups. Well-stocked kitchen and adorably decorated. Conveniently close to the town of Custer, but far enough away to be a more quiet, private setting. We will be back!

Family time

We have been going to the Black Hills for the last 30 years and really enjoy the area. Our family wanted to see the Buffalo Round up, Needles Highway, Wildlife Loop, and Mt. Rushmore. We also visited the various shops that featured local artists. The house we stayed at was wonderful. It was very clean and well supplied.

Very cute house. Ideal location to setup base camp and explore the Black Hills. Can’t beat the view off the back porch!! Drinking a cup of coffee and watching the Deer play across the meadow. What a wonderful home. Definitely recommend staying here. We will be back!

The property was very clean and ready to move into. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenic view of the pine covered hills across from the property and spent a lot of time relaxing and enjoying the horses that grazed there. The Mickelson Trail is within feet from the home and provides great opportunities for hiking or riding a bike.My family found it relaxing and rejuvenating !The owner provided thorough directions and answered all of our questions.I would highly recommend this as a VRBO rental !

Great home plus access to bike trail

We had three older couples, taking our electric bikes for a week of biking and enjoying the beautiful area. This was a wonderful home access to the trail just out the backyard. It was very private and cozy but yet close to town and amenities. We have everything we need home is beautifully decorated and this was probably one of the most responsive host we've ever had. We were returning her at the recommendation of one of the members of our group and we will come back again.

Girls getaway

Was further out of town than we thought but really, 5 miles is not much. Great place for us all to hang out, chat, good sized table to gather around. S'mores on the gas fireplace (no gathering of wood!) Mickelson Trail out the back yard to walk/run in any direction. Good relaxing time!

Everything we needed. . .and more

This home is great. The owners have anticipated every need a guest might have and then have gone above and beyond to meet those needs. Items in the kitchen as well as linens, towels, etc. throughout the house are easily found in labeled cupboards and drawers. Our group of 4 bicyclists riding the Mickelson Trail found the location of the house (right on the trail) as well as the huge garage for bike storage a major perk. And finally, the hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive to our correspondences prior to our arrival. We would stay here again for sure.

Great for families

This was our second time renting tranquil trailside, our stay was just as great as the first time. House is clean, beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans/dishes/griddles/coffee makers/toaster/waffle maker/sheet pans ect.) Backyard is plenty big for outdoor play (we brought our own outdoor games), back patio is a great spot for eating and relaxing. Plenty of towels, toilet paper, paper towels and soaps to get you started. House is outside of town, but close enough for a quick run in if needed. Close to all attractions. Owners take a lot of pride in this house and are wonderful hosts. Would rent again if in the area.

Great house for the family to relax

The pictures don't do this place justice. We were slightly unsure about booking this based on pictures, but we were wrong. You feel at home staying here! Sitting on the back porch and looking at the tranquil back yard. The house is on a main road, but you would never know it. Very comfortable beds, plenty of towels and anything you would need in the kitchen. Everything is labeled for easy findings in the house. The host has gone out of the way to make your stay great. They even had sandwich bags, tin foil, bug spray, candles if power went out, etc...We came for all the tourist activities and hiking and this house was great to come home to for a family of 6. Guest book on the table has all great compliments and is booked every week!
