We’ve stayed in many cabins around the country, and this one was one of the best equipped with everything you might need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. We spent nine days exploring the Black Hills, and this cabin is very convenient to Custer State Park and its hikes and beauty and within reasonable driving distance to Wind Cave National Park sights, the Badlands, and Spearfish and Deadwood in the northern Black Hills.

Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Laughing Water Cabin. We hope we get the pleasure of hosting you again sometime!
We had a great time staying here. The beds were very comfortable. We ate most of our meals out, but the kitchen was well equipped for any appliance we could have needed. Every single day we saw wildlife. We can't wait to come back to Custer!

Thank you so much. We would love to have you come back and stay anytime!
It was great. Loved the deer that came into the yard. NIcely located to downtown and the Mikkelson Trail. The fall colors in Custer Park were gorgeous. Too bad the museum closed for the season the day we got there.

We're so glad you enjoyed your trip! So sorry you missed the museum. Off season hours can be a bummer.
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Especially loved having the hot tub to soak in every night after we returned from the days adventures. Location is a perfect base to explore Custer SP, Rushmore, Wind Cave, Black Hills NF, and Jewel Cave. We also enjoyed the deer that showed up every evening. We cooked every night and found the kitchen to have everything we needed. It's well equipped with thoughtful touches like coffee. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Thank you for the nice review! We're so happy to provide you a home away from home when you travel. And the hot tub is one of our favorite things too!
Cabin was clean and had all the amenities we needed. It is in a quiet location several blocks away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Custer is a very nice town that has a little bit of everything and we found it to be less than 20 minute drive to just about everywhere we wanted to go in the hills. The owner was responsive and check in was simple.

We're glad you enjoyed your stay in Custer! Thanks for the great review.
We loved this cabin. Very cozy and a great location close to all the sights. Not to mention the trail practically in the back yard. Very quiet neighborhood. We stayed for 6 nights, loved the hot tub of course. They have all the accommodations you could ask for. Also the beds were great and the recliners made it so comfy for relaxing and watching TV I would definitely recommend this cozy cabin to anyone who wanted to see Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse and all the great scenic drives.

Perfect home base for our vacation. Small and cozy. Extremely clean and well stocked. Neighborhood is very average, but interior cuteness and comfort makes up for it. It was fun to watch the dear each morning/evening. Would stay again.

Why they chose this property
For many years we have loved the Custer SD area and, when we got the opportunity to purchase our vacation home, Laughing Water Cabin, we jumped at the chance! We purchased it as a family and we love to share it with others when we can't be there to enjoy it ourselves.
What makes this property unique
We found our vacation home one day as we were hiking the Mickelson Trail. It was situated in a nice quiet little area with deer and wild turkeys roaming about. Once we took a look at the inside of the house we were sold! It's located close to anything you need to do in town and centrally located in the Black Hills so that you can enjoy ALL the Black Hills have to offer!
