This is one of the nicest Air B&B’s we have ever had the pleasure of booking. Candace thought of everything! It is very clean, the bed is extremely comfortable and the location can’t be beat. We had a great time visiting Custer State Park and the Black Hills! We felt right at home and Candace provided recommendations as well as a thorough guest information book. I highly recommend this lovely spot in South Dakota. Thank you, Candace, for your warm hospitality!

This place has been our favorite VRBO stay by far. Candace is the sweetest and you feel like you are home from the moment you arrive. We loved getting to spend time in the Black Hills and Custer. We spent most of our time hiking, and Candace was really sweet and gave us some great recommendations. There are deer that frequent the property almost daily. It was such a joy to watch them. If we could give ten stars, we would.

We enjoyed our time at Charming Hillside Hideaway. Our host, Candace, is a very sweet person and very knowledgeable of the area. She responded to our questions quickly and gave us excellent examples of places to go and things to do. It was special to see deer and wild turkeys outside of the house. We will stay there again!

We loved staying at the Hillside Hideaway. It was cozy, comfortable and well-supplied, also very clean with extra amenities like extra jackets if we needed them, towels, blankets and pillows. Our host was easy to contact if we had any questions. The outside area was well-lit for when we came home after dark. We would stay there again if when are every back in the Hills.

Beautifully appointed home in a fun Custer setting. Wake up to wild turkeys walking down driveway while drinking morning coffee on patio and catch the deer wandering nearby at twilight. Comfy chairs, plenty of space and most comfortable mattress on this trip. Owner has thought of everything to make this the perfect base for area attractions. Will definitely return some time in the future.

Exceptional Rental with Exceptional Host!

We absolutely loved our stay, and Candace was OUTSTANDING!! The rental was clean and very comfortable, with a beautiful outdoor space as well. Candace clearly puts a lot of care in preparing for her guests with clear instructions and so many amenities: games, snacks, toiletries…even glasses chilling in the freezer when we arrived. She thought of everything! Candace provides excellent communication and makes herself available to help her guests if needed. I’ve stayed in several rentals and Candace stands out as a top host. We LOVED our stay so much!!

5 Star All the Way

Our stay here was five star from beginning to end. Candace is a hostess that thought of everything. There was even a cooler for taking short trips, jackets in the closet in case you forgot to pack one for the colder nights and even some travel to go cups in the cupboard along with a new washer and dryer. It was just like being home. The bed was so comfy we didn’t want to leave.

Ideal escape!

We stayed for 5 nights. Wish it would have been for longer. The property location is ideal. Convenient to everything Custer has to offer yet you feel like your away from it all. The place is clean, up to date and has the best patio ever! The setting is gorgeous and the views are great. Candace is an amazing host! She really has thought of everything. The place is fully outfitted with everything you will need and she has added some extra comforts that certainly exceeded expectation. Zero question where we will stay on a return visit.

Private Retreat

Absolutely enjoyed our stay here in Custer, South Dakota in large part due to the thoughtfulness of our hostess, Candace. She has gone above and beyond to ensure her guests are comfortable and feel at home. The house is perfectly located near numerous monuments, hiking trails, and other tourist attractions. It was a quick drive to Crazy Horse Memorial and horseback riding. A little further out we explored the 1880 Train, Mammoth Site and Mount Rushmore. We ran out of time but we will be back because there is so much more!

Perfect for exploring the area

This was a very clean and big place to stay and nature right outside your door. Deer by the porch everyday. Walkable to downtown and so much to do right by this house. Custer state park was awesome and we easily took 3 days here exploring the entire park and hiking and seeing the animals. Also close to Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse so you could easily go at night for the lights on the memorial. Every single thing she has like spices and baggies and condiments. We cooked on the grill every night. Only negative is you can hear all walking up stairs but she probably could hear us too. We would definitely stay here again, it was fantastic!!!
