Beautiful serene place to reconnect with family and nature! We loved the amenities and remoteness of the Big Horn Lodge! Room for all of us to be together as well as have privacy. We braved some of the local ATV and hiking trails around Custer. Loved the fire pit and patio areas to congregate. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here-was a wonderful escape to focus on fun, food, faith, and family!

This property was exactly as the pictures and description said it would be and even better! Secluded, peaceful and beautiful! Our weather was perfect as well! We hiked, biked, explored, played games and just had a great time on this family vacation. We cooked at home and could eat out on the deck or patio to enjoy the outdoors even more. I thank the owners for sharing their place with their guests and hope to return in the future!

While being only 7 miles from Custer. It is a true getaway with only the sounds of nature. It's also a very nice place with 2 family rooms. Wonderful decor matching the atmosphere of the region. Super clean too.

Wow- what can I say about Big Horn Lodge? This was our first family trip (that included our now adult children) since 2015. I could not have asked for a more amazing and perfect place for our family. As incredible as the pictures are, it’s even more impressive in person. The house is beautiful, spotless, and had everything we could have possibly needed. The owners were so responsive and helpful when we had a question. The location… wow- the location. It’s so serene and private. Sitting on the deck, drinking coffee and listening to the pronghorns was surreal. This was our first trip out west so I wanted a central location so we could do day trips to many locations. This was perfect! We went to Devils Tower, Mt. Rushmore, Needles Hwy, Spearfish Canyon, Badlands, Wall Drug and so much more. My husband and son fished Stockade Lake and me and my daughter visited Reptile Gardens. We loved the Wildlife Loop and did it several times since it was so close. Being at Custer State Park made the exploring easy and convenient. I realize this is quite a long review, but I want others to know how perfect this property is. We stay at many mountain cabins and this was by far the nicest. With our children getting older, this time together was priceless. I’m so thankful for the memories all brought about by Big Horn Lodge.

Super secluded and close to nature
Wonderful property. The thoughtful owners provided odds and ends and marketing wasn’t too far away. Lots of deer and beautiful skies. Two floors with full bathrooms on each floor and a very workable kitchen. Lots of seating inside and outside. Beautiful rock gardens and scenery. Two families worked well within the space. We thoroughly loved it.

Great stay, site was “as listed”
Everything was great with the cabin! It was very clean, organized, secluded and it matched the description. I was impressed with the area and the entire stay was amazing! The check-in/out was easy. My only negative would be that Scott is based out of a remote location and if something would have happened I feel like it would have been extremely hard to get someone out to help. I would highly recommend anyone who wants a quiet secluded cabin in the Custer state park to pick this one!

The property was centrally located to everywhere we went! It was so beautiful and peaceful looking out at the yard or sitting in front of the fire pit. There were plenty of kitchen and laundry supplies, dishes, and cooking utensils. We were gone exploring from 9:30 in the morning until 5:00 or so in the evening. We spent our evenings playing cards at the large dining table. We really enjoyed the house and location. Thanks Scott!

Really loved this property, about 3 miles off Hwy. 16, French Creek rd. by Stockade Lake. By the time you drive through the Lodge gate and up the hill, you've left behind anything commercial and settled in on the beautiful Big Horn "spread." Interior is beautiful wood finish, perfect to have one family upstairs and one on main floor, each with a bathroom. Beautiful wrap-around deck, watched the deer and turkey wander by. Perfect location - we drove the Needles, bison loop, went to Sylvan Lake, Stockade, Wind Cave, Rushmore, Hill City, Deadwood and Devils Tower, all reasonable drives. Nice property.

This by far is the best VRBO we have experienced! Scott was so helpful in all ways. The property is a true hidden treasure. Will be planning a return trip here with our family.
