The house was ready for guests and kept nicely. The property is beautiful and off the beaten path a ways from town which is preferable to our family. The bunnies on the property just might be the highlight of the Custer Cabins!

Had a great time and Sky View served as a great home base for the week. Kids were actually excited about the location and yard. They loved the cabin and all of its “kid friendly “ extras that proved to be an all around great trip!

Amazing place to stay.

This place was fantastic. We had a great stay. I wish we would of had a day of non site seeing to just relax there for a whole day and do nothing. It was cozy and roomy. Great outdoor area. The very upstairs room does get warm and the ac unit could be updated but we are looking forward to book this place again. It's also close everything.

Wonderful accommodation for largish group

As described, the setting is beautiful, and with the 5 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, there is ample space for 10+ people. The house is decorated with interesting regional and historical items, and has many cupboards and closets furnished with everything you might need for your comfort and entertainment. Teresa was a joy to work with!

Wonderful property

This was our 50th anniversary celebration, and it can best be summed up by my 3 grandchildren - "Grandpa, I think we should rate this 5 stars - it has been the best day in my life" They repeated this each of the three days. The history was not lost on them either, as a good friend of ours told us that his grandfather had built that camp, so that made it extra special. Everything that we needed was found, so it is extremely well stocked!

First time Home Away

The property was perfect for what we wanted. We had 11 people staying at the property. There was room for all of us. We had children there was plenty of yard space for them to play in, plus the owner had yard games for outside and plenty of books and board games for indoor activities. The place was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary dishes and utensils. We were close to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Keystone, Hill City and Custer, but yet it was far enough off the main roads to seem secluded and away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist towns. I would most definitely recommend this site to any one who asked.

Historic CCC cabin with all the amenities

This cabin experience of six days matched the wonderful reviews that I had read. Although off the beaten trail, GPS got us right there after dark. The kitchen was well stocked, the many bedrooms provided the privacy and quiet that our family of four adults and three children needed. The proximity to Crazy Horse, Custer, Mount Rushmore and Hill City allowed for the right balance of activities. Although we stayed during a heat wave in Rapid City (a one hour drive away), this site was appreciated for its much lower temperatures. The Skyview cabin has a remarkable history, and the historic photos inside provided context. WiFi, games and children’s books were appreciated. Despite its age, (90 years) the cabin was clean and the beautiful grounds allowed for safe play for the children. The hosts were excellent communicators! We would be happy to stay again in the future.

Peaceful

This former CCC cabin (updated of course) was a great place for our family. The surroundings were beautiful and with only a vehicle passing by rarely, it was peaceful. We heard and saw a variety of birds, deer, and rabbits. The parking area was a good sized for 2-3 vehicles. The firepit was nice to have - we used it several times - the wood was available and only asked for a donation. The beds were all comfortable in the 5 bedrooms - 6 queen or full beds. The kitchen, though on the small side, was well-stocked. The bathrooms were nicely remodeled. There is no TV, but wifi worked fine (we liked having no TV!). There really was nothing we lacked. We were within 20 minutes of Crazy Horse, 30 minutes of Mount Rushmore, 1 hour to Rapid City, and 15 minutes to Custer (the city). The week we were there was cool, so did not use the air conditioners. If you don't like gravel roads this may not be the place for you - the road in was a few miles of gravel road - seemed to be well maintained. It was well worth it in my opinion. Cell phone reception was not good at the cabin, but with the wifi, it worked just fine. Theresa was very helpful and easy to contact.
