Family reunion
The house was perfect for a group wanting to be outdoors, hike and see the local sights but also wanting a comfortable place to land with the convenience of local restaurants. The living area and outdoor space were great for visiting with each other. Wicked Espresso had great coffee next door and you have to try the Purple Pie Place which is also next door. And when an early evening hailstorm hit when we were driving home we were so glad there was a garage to pull into. We will definitely be back! The area was so beautiful!

Kitchen
Location within walking distance to shops and restaurants and bars was a plus. Kitchen needed attention. Looked like someone hurriedly went thru kitchen just hitting the high spots. Dishwasher was full of dishes which we didnt know if washed and ran again. We had to clean counters and stove top before we could prepare food. Hope next renter finds it cleaner.

Sturgis motorcycle trip 2023
The house had plenty of rooms for 8 adults; (there was room for 10 adults). Loved we had the use of the 2 car garage for the motorcycles. Location was great if you are looking at something quiet and away from the riffraff of Sturgis or Buffalo Chip. We did have to wash the dishes/silverware since they seemed to be greasy and dirty. The countertop in the kitchen was dirty too but a quick cleanup fixed that. The refrigerator/freezer is getting old with ice buildup. The beds were comfy since they had foam toppers. The 2 air conditioners upstairs was fine for the upstairs area on hot days but the downstairs was hot and stuffy. Called the property manager was very understanding and attentive to our needs. She installed another portable air conditioner unit in the downstairs and brought several fans for our needs the next morning since the stores were closed that night (we appreciated that). The extra a/c unit worked and made our stay more comfortable. Overall the house met our needs for an enjoyable week of enjoying the black hills attractions.

Great place!
The house was just as described in the listing! Cutely decorated, comfortable beds, clean and close to town for easy walking. Be aware that the downstairs living room can hear every footstep above, so the downstairs living room bed wasn’t great for kids taking a nap, etc. Fine during the night! Otherwise a great stay.

It was an overall pleasant place to stay, we really enjoyed the convenience of being near everything we needed , we were able to go right up the street for the baby’s milk , and even grab few clothing we forgot to bring . Majority of the household items for daily use were also provided and plentiful, the most important for us was the quick and efficient response we received from the host which made the stay comfortable .

Our family enjoyed our stay at this property with all its amenities. The owner has the home stocked and supplied just like a home away from home It was so convenient to Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial. Even though it is located in the town of Custer we saw deer in the yard multiple days. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to family and friends who are visiting the area.

We stayed for the first two days of the Mickelson Trail Trek. It served us well.
The garage door opener didn’t work so we had to use the walk in door and could not lock the door. My wife was not thrilled with the cleanliness of the kitchen area. I was happy with the accommodations and thought it was a terrific location. Thank you for you allowing us to stay.

Our family of 10 was very pleased with the house! We had comfortable beds and good space for hanging out, playing card games at the large table and bocce ball in the yard. It was an excellent location for our day trips throughout The Hills, plus a convenient location for grabbing groceries. All good!!
