Cozy but definitely functional for our family. We were visiting to sight see so just needed a place to sleep and this was perfect. Also like that it’s right next to a park playground so the kids could run back and forth.

We loved the cozy creekside cabin! It was conveniently located within walking distance to downtown. There was plenty of room for my family of 4. We loved the pretty yard and the porch with the fireplace. It was well-stocked with essentials that really helped make our stay extra comfortable. Would stay again!

We loved our stay at this cottage in Custer. It was walking distance from the downtown, but still set back from the hustle and bustle so that the location was quiet. We even had deer in our yard! Our two boys, 12 and 9, loved having their own rooms and getting to choose the top or bottom bunk, and it was so nice to have access to laundry and a grocery store just 2 minutes away. Overall, this was a wonderful home base for our time in the Black Hills, and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Great home base for Black Hills adventures

The creekside cabin is a lovely spot for family. Cozy decor and thoughtful touches throughout make for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the ability to relax on the deck while the kids enjoyed the playground. Cooking at home kept our costs lower and we enjoyed walking into town for treats. This is the perfect spot from which to enjoy Custer State Park, Wind Cave, and more.

Wonderful cabin in a quiet location still close to downtown. The cabin in fairly small, but laid out very well and our family of six never felt cramped. The property was very clean and the hosts were easy to communicate with. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with the essentials. The kids loved the playground next door

Cozy cabin

Was very nice place to stay. Did get a little hot at night in the bedrooms but it was very hot outside. Walking distance from main street so we didn't have to drive to go downtown. Little park for the kids right there as well.

Cute little cottage with the perfect location! Close enough that Main Street Custer is within walking distance, but just enough removed from the main drag that it felt quiet and safe. Playground next door was a big bonus for the kids. House was clean and comfy.

Ideal location

We had a great time staying at this cottage. Owners were very nice and helpful. The location was perfect for the sights we wanted to see: Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Deadwood, Devil's Tower, Custer State Park. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. Would highly recommend this place to our friends and family.

About the host

Hosted by David Andrews

Host profile image

A few years ago my wife and I needed to get away ... just a little breather from the big city. Custer was only 6hrs away so we loaded up the truck and headed up. We were enjoying a relaxing ride on the 1880 train (scenic train ride out of Hill City) when we saw the sign of a house for sale. Just for grins, giggles and dreams we looked up the listing and thought it affordable. We had a 4 day trip planned and it turned into 6 and a contract with a realtor. (Just have to put in a plug here for the most loveable realtor in Custer, Anne Fuchs) Well we loved the place so much we purchased a place for us and a place for others to come and hopefully fall in love with the Black Hills just like we did.

Why they chose this property

Just walking distance from the amenities of Custer City. Quiet park just out front so you can watch the kids play while you are relaxing on the deck. Paved road so your bike won't get stone bruises.

What makes this property unique

I'm not promising but deer mosey through the yard most every day.
