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.

Great Location

Enjoyed our stay at this great location. Easy access to Custer State Park, Crazy Horse and Mt Rushmore. Loved the town of Custer. Would have liked the 2nd bath to be in house vs garage but it was a very nice bathroom. Well stocked kitchen. Nice parking area. Would stay here again.

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.

Great stay in the Hills that feels like home

This is a very cute house that is close to everything, but still gives you the feeling of being out of the hustle and bustle. Great porch with chairs and rocking chairs for families to sit out and talk and laugh. Very clean house with all the amenities you'd need plus the small things that you may habe forgotten to pack, to use. We had 4 adults and 3 kids stay and the house was plenty big for us. The grounds were perfect to play around and walk on some small trails. The communication was always very quick and efficient from the initial booking up until the day of check out, offering us a safe drive home. Definitely a great place to book and can tell the family loves their property and keeps it pristine.

Exceeded Expectations!!

Grandma's House was the perfect place for us to stay during the Buffalo Round Up. It was close to town so we could easily go into Custer for whatever we may need and to check out the local shops. Very relaxing to sit on the patio and just enjoy the setting.

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

Stunning, tranquil place in Custer

Excellent and well kept place. We will definitely come here again in the future. We came during the Sturgis rally and we would have not been that relaxed if we had stayed in a hotel. Staying at Grandma’s gave us some nice tranquil environment while still being close to all the amenities and the attractions that we wanted to see.

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.
