The Lodge was everything we hoped for. Plenty of room for our family, great views, and conveniently located close to town. Preparing S'mores at the fire pit was a hit for the kids. We also enjoyed the playground nearby, the bike path, and hiking trail up Custer mountain. Definitely a great place to have a family gathering and enjoy all of the activities available at Custer State Park.

This home was the perfect place for our family to unwind after a long day of hiking trails and exploring towns. The host was very kind and was happy to offer any help if we needed.

This property served our southern Black Hills girls getaway perfectly. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, etc. It was cool enough to enjoy the fireplace. We appreciated the proximity to Custer State Park during the day and the closeness to a variety of restaurants at night. Great sheets and comfy beds. One extra hair dryer for each floor would have been great.

Very clean home! Large front yard for kids to play! We were on the run most of the day, it was nice to come home and relax on the front porch! Very quiet neighborhood, 2 blocks to downtown and saw deer each evening. Communication was easy and we enjoyed our stay.
