About this property

Deer Haven

Summary:

Enjoy the convenience of being close to Black Hills attractions, with the beauty of the forest around you.



The Space:

Enjoy the convenience of being close to Black Hills attractions, with the beauty of the forest around you. Deer Haven is located East of the historic town of Custer and only miles to the main entrance to Custer State Park. Roast marshmallows by the fire pit or hike in the nearby forest; relaxing here is easy to do. With it being nestled in the trees, yet so convenient to town and all the sites, this cabin is a great choice for those visiting the area.



Watch the visiting wildlife and enjoy the views from the beautiful covered deck or unwind in the evenings after sightseeing by the fire pit. Deer Haven is completely furnished, including towels and linens. The fully equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator, stove, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, and cooking utensils. This cabin can sleep up to 12 people (10 adults and 2 children).



Planning a trip to the hills to ATV/UTV? This cabin is located near Hazelrodt Road (.5 miles away) which connects to forest service roads and offers many options for riding around. Guests visiting with motorcycles will have less than 2 miles of gravel to the highway and an oversized carport to use. Please note, the garage and indoor fireplace are not available for guests use.



If you're looking for a wonderful combination of wilderness and location with a larger group, the Deer Haven is the perfect getaway for your Black Hills vacation!
