The property was clean, decor was very nostalgic. The cabin is a bit hot in the summer months though as only the bedrooms have AC. Other than that, very enjoyable stay.
What an amazing place! Beautiful accommodation full of history, clean everything they advertise and more. You are only about 30 minutes to downtown Custer, very low traffic on the road. Lots of beautiful wildlife and scenic views. We have had a wonderful time. Absolutely gorgeous home that truly sleeps 6, quiet and absolutely zero complaints. We stayed in the master bedroom and the bathroom attached is spacious and with a walk in shower! Beds were extremely comfortable. We cooked 2 meals every day and we absolutely loved the crockpot included and the propane grill. If you like quiet and beautiful clean accommodations rich with local history, 12 Mile Ranch is the place to stay. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the history and quiet surroundings of the ranch, and we are so glad the amenities helped make your stay comfortable. We hope to host you again sometime.
We enjoyed the house and property, loved the rural setting. Simple and straight forward checkin and good communication. Check the history on this place if you're staying here. We are used to dirt roads and didn't bother us, be aware it is 8 miles back a dusty road.
Very pretty place . Plenty of space for a group. Beautiful antique decor . But it is in the country so preparing for mice is a consideration. Never saw them but they like candy. After that , we stored in plastic totes .
The house was very nice, lightning over the counter could be brighter. The kitchen was stocked very well with everything we needed for cooking meals. The name fit the location, (12 Mile Ranch) 12 miles from Custer, last 8 on gravel road. Although beautiful scenery getting there. Overall 4 stars.
This is a fun cabin in a beautiful location in a national forest. It is exactly 12 miles outside of the town of Custer. Found a mouse snacking on our chips in the kitchen one night and there were no usual toiletries provided (i.e. body wash, shampoo, etc.) and being so far from town made it a challenge to pick something up from the store. It was fun to read the history of the cabin but it isn't accurately listed as there was more space than was described. Overall good stay but improving these things would have made it better.
