Beautiful property
A wonderful getaway with a beautiful view. Had everything we needed and was perfect for the whole family…including pinball for the kids. Perfectly located close to major destinations yet spacious and away from everything for some time to relax.

Awesome wintery holiday weekend
We had a wonderful time in Custer and at this property. The seclusion and coziness was what we were really after, and this property delivered. Check in was easy, access was set up and the stay was lovely. Great property, just as advertised. The amenities in the cabin were great and enjoyed by the entire family. If you are looking to ‘get away’ into seclusion, but still want to be just a couple miles away from town, this is the place.
