About this property

On the Mickelson Trail: Log Home Perfect for families

The interior of our cabin is just a few years old and still looking fresh and new!

This 3 bedroom 2 bath log cabin offers over 1500 square feet of vacationing space. The interior of the cabin is modern with some rustic flair and offers a clean, fresh space to relax. Located on one private acre, the back yard has direct access to the Mickelson Trail and overlooks a private horse ranch. There are two queen beds, 3 single beds (NOT bunkbeds) and a queen-sized pull out sleeper. We also have a roll-away bed that can be placed in one of the bedrooms or in the living area. Fully furnished kitchen, laundry room, wifi, television and fireplace, A/C. We'd love for you to be our guests!

We had a great long weekend stay at this lovely cabin. It accommodated our family of 6 perfectly. We had what we needed for sleeping, cooking, and playing! We enjoyed the outdoor space and cooked many of our meals outside on the blackstone. We thought it was even better in person than the photos online. It is located conveniently close to custer. We felt the pricing was good and we would recommend it!

House worked great for us and just under 10 minutes drive in to Custer. I was a little nervous with my little kids being outside as the house is near the highway but we kept a close eye and it was fine. The grill and outdoor table and chairs were nice to have and the rooms worked well for us - we put the day bed in the room with the three twin beds so all four could sleep in one room. The stars were amazing to view from the house being away from any city lights.

Relaxing and Comfortable

We really enjoyed are stay. House is right off the highway, which was great, due to us riding motorcycles. Highway noise was not bad, didn't bother us on little bit. Nicole kept in touch with us, to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Will definitely stay again.

Moms and sons adventure

We traveled from out of state and had a wonderful time. Cabin was very clean and spacious and situated in beautiful property. We had a great trip for moms and young boys out on their first trip to the Black Hills area. It should be noted cell service can be very limited, so you may have to travel to town to make calls or text. This has nothing to do with the cabin itself or its host.

Beautiful home and comfy beds

My family and my sister’s family came to Custer for buffalo round up. We had great communication with the hostess. She was very thorough and accommodating. The home is better than it looks in the pictures.. the beds were very comfortable. Very spacious and everything you need at a VRBO’s house was very clean and organized . It was above our expectations and met our needs. We would definitely stay here again.

Pleased and Comfortable

We arrived with info to checkin. It was easy. Expectations were simple from the host. The cabin was delightful! Even our 4 yr. Old said he loved this house. We had 9 people in our family and all were comfortable. The view was relaxing and lovely. Other reviews thought it was close to road but we had a 3, 4 and 5 yr old and no concern or problem with noise. It was conveniently located to all the sites we wanted to see. WiFi was great for all our devices. One of the best bookings I have had! Such a cute house!

Great Space Inside and Out!

The house was perfect for two families with kids to stay. Check-in was smooth, the house was thoroughly cleaned, and the yard was well cared for. The house is very near a busy highway. However, there is enough yard space and our kids were old enough to stay far away from it. It was perfect for the kids to explore and run around while also being easily supervised. There was a power outage for a few hours during our stay and were impressed with Nicole's prompt response and that the cabin has backup power for the WiFi to make phones still usable. While waiting for the power company to restore power to the area, we loved grilling out and enjoying the trail just outside. We would stay here again and again next time we are in the area, we loved it so much!

My parents, husband and I had a terrific 4- day stay. The cabin home is beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. Nicole has thought of every detail necessary for a pleasant, convenient stay. The furniture, beds and linens were comfortable. The kitchen was well-furnished. The decor was artistic and unique. Five stars! Highly recommend!
