Grandma's House in the Woods, one mile from Custer

My folks' old place just south of Custer, an old converted pole barn set on five wooded acres with lots of parking and peace and quiet. Easy access, garage parking, a big front porch for sitting, sipping, and relaxing and for watching the deer and turkeys and cottontails. Sleeps up to 8, dog friendly. Pet sitting may be available this season. Owner on premises this season for improvements, but not in your way! High speed fiber optic internet and DirectTV, room AC units, full kitchen, commercial W/D, handicap accessible including main bathroom and master bedroom. Minutes to Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore, blocks from Mickelson Trail.
One mile to restaurants, shopping and gifts, pharmacy, grocery store, service stations. Trail rides, fishing, boating, hiking, helicopter rides, and adventure vehicle rentals and bicycles close by. Grandma's House feels rural, but is located central to most Black Hills attractions and parks.

Best vrbo we ever stayed at

Hours, property, hosts, and location all exceptional! 5 secluded acres, big front porch, 3br2ba, high quality accessories, close to town, quiet, peaceful. Immaculate, comfortable, felt like home and we didnt want to leave. Absolutely incredible place and the owner was like a sister to me. We strongly recommend this place to others and intend to return. The owner recommended Black Hills Burger and Pizza and we got there at 11 when they open and it was full by 11;30am.

Grandma’s House was perfect for us!

We really enjoyed our stay! It was nice to be away from all the crowds, but close enough to everything we wanted to do. We enjoyed the quiet of the country feel and being able to all be together. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room!

Spacious Custer house

The house was welcoming and clean with all of the amenities we needed. Front porch was a perfect place to rest and relax, and we saw wild turkeys, deer and bunnies in the yard! Location was great, very close to Custer and just a short drive to Custer State Park. Highly recommended, especially for those traveling with dogs

Anniversary weekend

This was a wonderful peaceful and well located for relaxation or adventure. Custer was just down the road but this place felt like it was our own oasis. Deer turkey and rabbits running through the yard. Peaceful evening where you can see the stars sitting on the covered front porch in the rocking chairs. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

We arrived late no lights on. It was VERY hot. Bedrooms have noisy floor unit AC that is vented out window. Light comes in early since blinds cant close completely. I barely slept due to noisy AC. Bathroom has fabric blinds that don’t close entirely and a trailer is parked with a window right across from it that can see in. Owner is living in trailer. I would not have booked knowing owner is living inches away. Owner stated they don’t look out window on that side of trailer. I checked the ad and it says on site this season for renovations. I do recall seeing this when I booked last FALL a year later owner is still on site looking further back for reviews owner has been on site for years. This should’ve been in listing - “this season” is false. No photos of trailer that is right next to the porch behind bbq. Older videos of this home look much nicer. Either way I informed them we would be using smaller shower in garage. They offered to call someone to put up plywood on window. If they are onsite for renovations I would think they could do this. It was surface clean but couch hasn’t been vacuumed in quite awhile, stove drawer full of expired cookies. The carpet is pretty nasty my socks were filthy walking on it. Owner is responsive but having them onsite was uncomfortable. No fence for dogs. Owner has a dog run area for their dog. We had friends over bbq is in front of their trailer within earshot. Would not have stayed here had I known owners are on site.

Love this property and the location! Not only is it very handy to Custer for gas, groceries and restaurants, but also close to many attractions in the Southern Hills. Thanks again Vicki for letting us stay at your beautiful house! The Heberling's

Great trip to Custer!

We loved our stay at Grandma’s House in the Woods! The property was great for our family. We could spread out and relax after exploring the area. It was a great “home base” for day trips throughout the Black Hills. Property was well appointed with lots of little details to make our trip fun and easy. We loved having a washing machine and a fully stocked kitchen. Thanks for a great stay!

Vacation

The house is older but very clean and comfortable. There are two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs with two bathrooms, currently, downstairs. Vicki was a wonderful host and also provided fresh eggs for us during our stay. This home is very close to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial and the 1880s train, which is in Hill City. We had a wonderful time staying here.
