We had the best vacation in Custer. The location of this Vrbo was wonderful, easy to get everyone around the Black Hills. The house was clean and fully furnished, with a bonus being the hot tub and games (our young children were in heaven)! It was the perfect location for our family. Thank you!!

Great location close to all sights
Cabin was a cute place to stay! Cabin is slightly smaller we expected, but it was nice. The property is on about 2-3 miles of gravel. The pond was great for my son to fish everyday. WiFi worked great, firepit area was nice to use after purchasing wood. Sauna and play area was farther away so we never used it.
This cabin was perfect for our family trip. It was quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to the city center. We received great communication about our stay. We enjoyed using the hot tub on the property and everything was greatly organized and stocked for our stay.

Great cabin for our family of four SD visit. Seemed like everything was only 30 minutes away….Rushmore, Needles, Jewel Cave, Wildlife Loop, etc. Cabin was a great retreat at night; modern, comfortable and CLEAN. Saw loads of wildlife every day coming and going, and the kids loved the loft. Thanks for having us, BHB!!!
