Half-bath is located on main floor, off a fully equipped kitchen with coffee hutch for your convenience. Somehow the VRBO program has added an amenity of "Hot tub" to our description somewhere, which is not true. We have never had a hot tub and want guests to clearly understand that. We are working with VRBO to correct that mistake and evidently, that is more difficult than expected! Guests are welcome to use pantry items, spice cupboards and frig condiments. Note: we now have AC and furnace for your comfort! Traditionally, log homes are not built with either and have always been heated with electric cove heaters.\* We ask guests to not use a cove heater at any time. We have taped over the cove heaters to help guests remember not to use them. Another advantage to living in the Black Hills: very low humidity and typically, the evenings cool off to "chilly". We recommend bringing cozy hoodies. Laundry, WiFi, land line and 4G cell reception, which is an important detail in the Black Hills. Direct TV service provides movie channels for rainy days. Chimnaya and wood supply on main deck. Our wifi is very strong and provides opportunity for catching up on work. Pets are not welcome, but children certainly are!

Be especially careful to provide a phone number that receives text. We also recommend that two people in your party keep Robin's cell phone number handy. That way when one phone gets locked inside the cabin, you still have a way to contact us and get the codes again! We are very responsive to communicate with guests.

Beautiful views of surrounding woods full of deer. Very spacious rooms with comfortable seating, cozy beds, and decks. Well supplied kitchen for easy meal preparation and a dining area that served as a spacious game table as well. Having a washer and dryer was a lifesaver. Cabin was convenient to Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave, and a short drive to Needles Hwy, and Mt Rushmore. Grandkids loved it here! ##### Barbara D.

Our family loves everything about this house! This was our third time in this house and I hope not our last. The location is perfect. It takes 5 minutes to get to town but sitting on one of the many decks you feel like you are deep in the woods. We have stayed in 2 other houses in the area but this house is by far our favorite! ##### karen f. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim S.

Beautiful, huge log home, immaculate, incredible solitary-woodsy feel. Furnished very comfortably, and has up-to-date appliances, etc. Access to owner was immediate if questions were needed by us.

This cabin is incredible! From the peaceful quiet to the zero light pollution and the rock gardens outside. Inside the cabin is GORGEOUS and my personal favorite was the shower that doubled as a steam room! Robin was amazing as well and I’ve already told her we will be back! ##### Ashley T. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen B. May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean. Comfortable. Great location. I can't say we were surprised, because the listing details and photos for this home are very accurate--- but we were all pleasantly pleased when everything was even nicer than we anticipated. The location is fantastic. Close enough to town to make quick trips for food or supplies, but nestled away on a quiet dead end road with nothing else in sight. All the Black Hills sites are within easy driving distance, and our group of 4 (ages 64-77) thoroughly enjoyed being able to relax in our comfy cabin after a day of touring. Not one negative about the entire experience. ##### Kathleen B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Heather W. Jul 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Week stay in Custer Overall, our family of 6 enjoyed our stay. It was private and surrounded by nature, yet only 5 minutes to town. The kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. We saw deer and turkeys around the house almost every day. The garage came in handy for parking the car and storing bikes. The reasons I gave 4 stars on accuracy of description and 4 overall is due to bedroom setup. We wished the primary bedroom was more private, and the 4th bedroom had better window treatments. We will consider staying here if we are ever in the area again. ##### Heather W.

Book this incredible property near Custer as your home base. It is ideally located. It offers quiet solitude, comfort and privacy after busy days exploring. You can hang out on the deck off the living area, read, sleep, or just soak in nature. Enjoy the fire pit or just plop in the reclining sofa and enjoy some TV. The beds are soooo comfortable and the house is quiet providing a great nights sleep to refresh you for the next day! The kitchen was wonderful and well stocked if you choose to prepare your own meals. If not, there are great restaurants ten minutes away in Custer. Our host, Robin, was incredible. Great communication and quick responses, a great sense of humor and wonderful recommendations. ##### Jeff T. Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce V.
