Yep, fires are allowed so long as the conditions are right. Smores anyone?

About this property

NEW A/C! End of the Road location and still close to all the sites! Campfires!

This is it! Awesome and New to the Vacation Rental Market this Spring and no expense spared in all New beds, New Real Log Furniture and furnishings. Our goal with this cabin is to help you create family experiences and memories that will last a lifetime! The Deer Valley Cabin has the best of both worlds in that it offers end-of-the road location with a large pine studded lot but still close to town for all those last minute runs and restaurants (who wants to cook on vacation?).

Deer Valley has deck's for days and the outdoor space is unmatched, and you haven't even heard about the yard (or bunkhouse) yet.

You will enjoy your morning cup of joe as the sun rises on our wrap-around deck, its huge! Or, if you were the lucky one that got the upstairs Master East (twin masters) you have you own private balcony where you can see the peak of Mount Coolidge in the distance over the top of the vista of Lodgepole Pines so awesome!

CAMPFIRES? Yes! you have to abide by Black Hills Fire Rules if they are enacted for dry conditions but its there and add mallows! There is nothing better than sticky marshmallows, a campfire, family and the night sky (where you can actually see stars so bright...) I can hear the crackle and smell the fire right now, I love it!
Deer Valley has 3+ bedrooms, plus a bonus bunk bed room that adds more sleeping options...AND a detached Bunkhouse for those that want to just get away for a night (or the whole trip). The cabin has two bathrooms, one with tub/shower.
We want you to have a blast while in Custer and Deer Valley is geared for the utmost in family fun.

Are we close to the attractions??? Yes!!!....Mt Rushmore is 15 minutes, Crazy Horse is 5 minutes, Custer State Park is 8 minutes, Sylvan Lake is 18 minutes and the town of Custer is a little over a mile away. Deer Valley allows you to get more bang for the buck by being situated so close you can go to Rushmore by day and go back at night for the lighting ceremony (your ticket is actually an annual pass so use it).
We recently purchased Deer Valley and chose the name because our visits always included seeing deer. Have your camera ready as they sure do like to pose for pictures.
We are not new to Vacation Rentals as we have two other locations in Custer and are listed here as well. Check us out and look at our reviews. You will see that we are serious about providing the best experience we can for you and your family.

Great location close to town and all of the local sites. Perfect set up for 4 adults and 3 children. Plenty of dining and living room. For summer stays, they noted that new A/C was added, but it is in only half of the bedrooms, and oddly not in what would be considered the "master bedroom". It got quite warm upstairs, even with the one A/C unit running and two fans trying to push the air around. Overall, a great location and I would recommend it.

Cozy and Convenient

This older, rustic cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood just outside of Custer. It has a large yard, which the kids loved, and all the amenities necessary for a great time in the Black Hills; very convenient to all the attractions. The owner is super easy to work with! We really enjoyed our stay.

Four-Wheeling Trip

Three-day four-wheeling trip. It's a few miles to get to the trails from the cabin, but it's a great location for having access to UTV rentals, restaurants, and the amenities of Custer. The cabin owner was great to work with and provided plenty of communication prior to our arrival. With 6 people in our party it would have been nice to have 2 full bathrooms instead of 1.5, but it didn't stop us from having a good weekend.

Custer stay

Overall the stay was good. Other than it not being very clean when we got there. The bunkhouse wasnt usable unless you wanted to spend some time cleaning it out. First thing when you opened the door it was filled with dead flies. The owner was very easy to get in touch with and the beds were very comfortable. Was also a great location if you're looking to have peace and quiet but be close to town also.

Good family cabin

This house suited our needs well. We were a group of 7 (3 adults and 4 kids) and accommodations were fine. Bedrooms were good sized and lots of closet space. Beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels and kitchen appliances/extras for us to use. I will say, if AC is important to you consider that there is no central air in this cabin. They have ductless AC units installed but not every bedroom has a unit. It was in the upper 80s at the beginning of our week and 2 bedrooms in particular stayed quite warm until the temperatures dropped a few days in. The king room upstairs doesn’t have its own unit and it hovered around 80° most of the time, even with the sliding patio door open, until the temperature outside dropped. There’s a bedroom downstairs, as well, that didn’t get below 75 until the temperature dropped. That said, there are several fans and it didn’t prevent us from having a good stay, but might be important information to have. Two of my kids are autistic and it’s difficult for them to sleep in environments that don’t mimic what they’re used to at home. Also, if you’re planning on using the bunkhouse, it does not have AC. Firepit was lovely and the living room/dining area was just right for us. WiFi worked well! There’s a grill on the porch (we didn’t use) and lots of sitting space out there. The location was convenient to everywhere we wanted to be. I much prefer being close to Custer as opposed to Rapid City.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Beer

Host profile image
We are a family that has hospitality in our blood. I was raised in a family resort setting in Northern Minnesota and fully understand and desire to give a great guest experience here in Custer. We fell in love with South Dakota and the Black Hills after a family road trip 9 years ago and we love this property.

Why they chose this property

We recently purchased Deer Valley (we named it after seeing Deer feeding in the area upon our arrivals) in the Spring of 2017. The location and setup are perfect for any family vacation and is a great "homebase" for all of your Black Hills did I mention you are allowed to have campfires here too! (check conditions for safety)
Deer Valley has a layout that is conducive for vacation rentals. We have "decks for days" as the main deck wraps around the cabin and is a great hang out spot anytime of the day or may not want to leave it. There is also a private deck/balcony off the East Master that is breath taking. Deer Valley has its own detached bunkhouse with a queen bed if you just want to "camp" for the night, or it has its own deck too.
We also have a large, gently sloped lot that has open spaces, campfire rings and pine studded beautiful!

What makes this property unique

Campfires are allowed in this location!
You can actually see the night sky!
You are really close to all the big sights and attractions!
Your family will talk about this trip for years!
