Newly remodeled, clean and cozy townhouse

We stayed here with our 3 kids (3, 5, and 9) and felt very much at home. The hot tub was a hit and we looked forward to it every night. The house has everything you could need and felt very clean! Having your own garage to park is also a plus! We cooked every night which made it easy and relaxing for the kids to play in the backyard, upstairs or the main living area. I definitely recommend this place for a relaxing stay as you explore the surrounding areas!

Great Place to Stay

Our group of four stayed at The Paddle House in Custer for four nights in July 2025 to ride the full 109-mile Mickelson Trail. The cabin was pristine, with a generous kitchen and a deck featuring a hot tub, ideal for relaxing after our rides. The garage was perfect for storing our bikes securely. The host was quick to respond and very accommodating. The only issue was a broken dryer, which we hope is fixed for future guests. Highly recommended for trail riders!

We’re delighted you and your group enjoyed your stay at The Paddle House, Terry! It’s wonderful to hear the home was a great base for your Mickelson Trail adventure and that you were able to relax in the hot tub after long days of riding. We’re also glad the garage worked well for securely storing your bikes and that our team was responsive throughout your stay. We appreciate you mentioning the dryer. That issue has since been resolved, and it’s ready for future guests. Thank you for your recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you back for another Black Hills biking adventure!

Spring break family trip

Family of 5 stayed for 4 nights. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the floor heater in the dining room space was not working so it was pretty cold in the mornings. Host did offer to check on it, but with our stay being that short, we chose to just tough it out. I am sure that was addressed after we checked out. We loved the backyard and hot tub! We would definitely book again.

There were some definite positives and a few negatives from our stay. During our stay, there was a leak from the upstairs tub that came through the ceiling below. The host responded quickly and addressed the issue. As a result, the upstairs shower was not usable for about 12 hours, and the washing machine was unavailable for the duration of our stay. The host compensated us due to these issues.The home is built on a slope, and the floors are noticeably slanted throughout the house. The upstairs sliding door did not lock, the host did give us the option to have someone come in and fix, but we declined. The king bedroom had a closet but did not have a hanging bar, and there were no dressers in the bedrooms. Because of this, there was no way to unpack clothes during a multi-day stay. There were also no dish towels or dish rags provided. While there was a dishwasher, it would have been nice if we would have known this prior. The hot tub was available and a nice amenity, but we weren't there much so we only used it once. For the future, we don't think we'd want one. Overall, communication with the host was prompt, and they addressed concerns when notified. I would stay here again if the maintenance issues get addressed prior to the stay.

Thank you for sharing such detailed and fair feedback, Sarah. We’re sorry the leak and laundry issue disrupted your stay, though we’re glad our team was able to respond quickly and provide compensation. Since your visit, all of the maintenance items you mentioned have been addressed, including the sliding door, laundry access, storage concerns, and kitchen linens. We also appreciate your honest notes about the layout and sloped floors. We’re grateful you recognized the prompt communication, and we’d be happy to host you again with those issues resolved.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Avoid. Great location but needs a deep cleaning and remodel. The downstairs toilet leaked, the stove did not have a range cover ( which is not up to code), the smoke detector went off anytime you cooked something, the upstairs shower did not have a drain stopper and you could see the plumbing, you could not take a bath. The sink upstairs leaked, and the hot and cold were opposite. The whole house sloped. The washing machine needed cleaning and the dryer did not work. All the floors were sticky. The shower leaked. Several stuck areas needed repaired. The garage was filty. The key lock on the front door doesn't work. The garbage disposal didn't have a rubber cover so it spit food out. We were disappointed. The whole plane smelled like cat pee especially the couches and carpet. I contacted the management company and they said they would send someone out. They sent out a person that spoke little English. He fixed the sink drain but didn't understand the rest. It was uncomfortable. Overall there are many other choices in Custer.
