Beautiful Home on 1 acre just outside of Custer backs up to forest service

Come and enjoy our NEW vacation home in the southern black hills. Our home is located in picturesque Custer, SD. The home sits well back from the road (paved) on 1 acre and backs up to US Forest Service property. The main floor of our home includes master bedroom with king bed, 2nd bedroom with a queen bed, bathroom with tub & shower combination, laundry, fully equipped spacious kitchen, dining table, and living area with TV. The second floor has one bedroom with 2 full size beds, full bathroom with shower, and sitting room which contains a queen size futon and TV. This home is well suited for families, but not ideal for groups containing more than 6 adults. Home has a large wrap around deck with outdoor furniture and a Weber gas bbq. This is a great way to enjoy the beautiful evenings in Custer. There are many fire restrictions in Custer County so for your protection and ours there are no open fires on this property. This property does not have air conditioning, however the upstairs has opposing windows with box fans. The fans do a phenomenal job cooling the home on the rare occasion AC would be required.

This property is the perfect jumping off spot for all of the activities available in the Black Hills. Located just minutes from Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Jewel Cave just to name a few. This is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing stay while enjoying the natural beauty of the area.

Great jumping off place for adventures

Stayed at this home while attending a family reunion in Custer. Compared to many if the camping and cabin accommodations that other family members had, we were very happy with our choice. Comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen to cook meals and a nice location. The property was clean and perfect for our 5 adults. Definitely recommend!

South Dakota adventure

From the time we drove onto the property we felt welcome with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. We had no issues with neighbors as it's plenty far from the houses close by. We were able to enjoy the black hills and state park as it is convenient to those locations. Overall wished we could have stayed longer!

Highly recommend if looking to stay in Custer/black hills

We had a great vacation. The house was supplied with everything needed and then some to make the stay comfortable and convenient. Great communication with the house and very quick prompt responses to questions during our stay. The house is very cozy, beds comfortable and supplied everything you would need in your own home. Definitely one of the best VRBO experiences me and my extended family has had. Thank you much for all the little extras

Nice South Dakota retreat

This house was a great stay for our family vacation in the Black Hills. It was close to Custer and Custer State Park which made it easy to get around. The house was clean with specific instructions and area suggestions. Kitchen had everything we needed and good pans to cook with. Large dining room table was perfect for family games. It was off a main road as other reviews stated but most of the houses in area are and did not affect quality of stay. Would stay at this property again!!

Beautiful home in Custer

We loved our time at this home. It was wonderfully furnished and there were so many thoughtful extras. A state park pass was included along with a small cooler which was all that we needed for our picnics. The home was very clean with a well stocked kitchen. There were even extra pens and paper for our game playing enjoyment.
