Custer family getaway

Wonderful place to stay! My family and I had the pleasure of staying at this property for three nights. The location is perfect! Nestled into the pines near Custer. It is close to town yet very quiet and peaceful. The sounds and scents of nature all around you. The home itself was spacious for our group of 8. Three separate bedrooms and two bathrooms made it seem roomy. A fully equipped kitchen was nice too although most of our meals were at one of the many great restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend this location!

Great location

Just outside of town, backing up to national forest. Took lots of beautiful walks with our dog. The outside dog area was great. The neighbors in residence were friendly and helpful. Had a blast every morning watching the rabbits, turkeys and deer.

South Dakota Family Trip

My wife and I stayed here with our 2 young boys and another couple. It was just outside of the main area of town, and was the perfect location. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the deer. It was quiet, but convenient being close to town. I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful secluded home near Custer

Everything was lovely with this home. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals and the large outdoor was a joy for eating. Check-in was easy. Best of all was the big screen Smart TV for watching movies at night. Will definitely return.

Overpriced

Well located and had enough beds, so it met those needs for our stay. However, for the price I expected much more than received. The kitchen was poorly appointed (no large bowls to mix anything. No large spoons for cooking/serving). The TV was unwatchable, a “smart” tv, but hulu plus and netflix were the only viewing options, could not add anything else (appletv or disney plus or amazon) - therefore my kids could not watch anything. The overall feel of the place was slightly dirty despite that it was obvious that cleaning had taken place (carpet was still wet in spots). If they had charged half as much, I would have given 5 stars and felt that I had received what I had paid for.

This place was everything we wanted and more. It was super close to Custer, but far enough away that it felt very private. The area and yard were beautiful and spacious. The home had everything we needed and more. There is a large kitchen with everything you would need. Comfy sitting room for family to share and plenty of room in the 3 bedrooms. Having laundry machines was great. The deck is large and another great place to spend time. The welcome book had all kinds of great info. We really wished we would have brought our dog as he would have really loved it too! Super comfortable nice place, we would definitely stay again!

Is the third time a charm or a strike out?

Our third time at this house (maybe fourth). Good location good layout comfy beds and furniture etc. Our love for the house was tested however. You truly know how good a business is not when things go well. That’s easy to manage but when mishaps happen. Evolve excelled in times of errors. Something fairly major happened due to an oversight on managements or others part. I contacted them and they immediately responded and resolved the issue the next day (Sunday was our check in day). Bravo to their staff for handling it well. We would not hesitate to rent this

Custer stay

Overall the house was great. It was nice to have no direct neighbors and a fenced in yard for our dogs! I would definitely swap out the carpet everywhere being it is dog friendly and the sanitary factor with that. There could have been a little more description on how to work the heat and where units were located. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some family meals. The host was super wonderful with early check in and responsive. Would rent again!

Great place

What a wonderful home to stay at. Everything you could possibly need was provided in the kitchen. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. We enjoyed the morning visits from the wild turkey flock and the deer family! The proximity to all the parks was so convenient. We are already planning a return trip for the summer.

Great location, modest house, phenomenal backyard

Really enjoyed our stay here. The house was exactly what my family needed for the week, and was very nicely located near Custer. The backyard had large rock formations that the kids loved climbing on and the deck with the grill and fireplace was a nice amenity. The only downside was that the sink had a pipe underneath that was broken and the owner had remedied by sticking a tub underneath to catch leakage. Also, the owner was not very quick to respond to emails throughout the week.

Fun getaway

This was a great getaway for 9 adults, teens, and babies. Close to many attractions, Wind cave, Jewel cave, and Mount Rushmore. Property was well maintained with a great deck to read, make s’mores, and relax. We had some deer visit us each morning and night. Good price for the area. Would recommend!!
