July 4-6

The property was well maintained and appointed. The beds were very comfortable (which is sometimes not the case at VRBOs). It was a nice spot for our family. We also liked its close proximity to Custer, a darling town nestled in the Black Hills.

Charming Black Hills Cabin

This was a great home for my family and my sister in laws family. We had 9 total and all fit comfortably. It was unseasonably warm a few days so the AC was a very nice touch. The hot tub was a great way to unwind at night as well! I’d definitely stay here again if I was in the black hills. Just minutes from Custer yet we felt like we in a quiet secluded area.

We're delighted that your families had a comfortable stay and that the home provided the perfect balance of space and amenities, especially during the warm days. It’s great to know you enjoyed the peaceful setting while still being close to Custer. We’re glad the hot tub offered a relaxing end to your days, and we’d love to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

Quick trip to the west

We took our family to the monuments for fall break. The cabin was great. The location was wonderful. Lots of wildlife. There was a fire ban, so we don’t get to use the wonderful fire pit! My husband loved the sauna. The only negative was the WiFi. We used. Hotspot and things worked out.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Julie! It sounds like your fall break was filled with great memories, from spotting wildlife to relaxing in the sauna. While the fire ban was a bit of a letdown, we hope you’ll get to enjoy the fire pit next time. Though our cabin’s rural setting can mean a different Wi-Fi experience than in the city, we’ve upgraded to fiber optic cable and added signal boosters to offer the best connection possible. We’d love to welcome your family back for another adventure!

The hot tubs lacked privacy (multiple cameras positioned 9 ft from them) and the grill was so dirty with no tools to resolve we had to change plans for dinner that night (something that should have been cleaned before guest arrival).
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2026
We’re sorry to hear these concerns affected your stay. To clarify, the cameras are never pointed toward any of the hot tubs and are only in place for exterior security. The grills are cleaned regularly, and BBQ utensils are provided for guest use. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will review everything again with our team.

The property was pretty clean inside. Exterior not well maintained with overgrown weeds, a falling apart grill, and the deck needing painted. Some mold above the shower on the wall also. Front door lock did not work for our entire stay. The pictures online made it appear nicer than it was. Honestly my family was very disappointed especially for the cost. For the money I would not stay here again.

We’re sorry to hear your family left disappointed. We appreciate you sharing your concerns and want to assure you that the locks have been checked and are working properly, the grill has been replaced, the deck has been stained, and the shower area has been inspected. We’re sorry the stay did not feel like the value you expected, and we appreciate you choosing to stay with us.

The house was very clean and the rooms were well appointed. There were ample towels. The hot tub and sauna were great. The Wi-Fi was subpar. I would recommend to the host that they put a booster in the unit. If you want to get away from everything, this is an ideal place to disconnect. If you need to work remotely, the Wi-Fi does not stay on and it’s very spotty. You can stream a movie, but you can’t watch anything live on television. Also make sure that you bring extra toiletries with you and the kitchen is not well stocked if you are a chef.

We're sorry the Wi-Fi did not meet your expectations. Because of our rural location, connectivity can occasionally be less consistent than in urban areas.
