Host were great people. The neighborhood was like a postcard right beside park land. The ideal location for exploration of the black hills.

This is my third, and best, cabin I’ve stayed in for our annual vacations. This cabin is well furnished from the bedrooms, to the living room, to the front porch and back deck. The setting is gorgeous. It is 6 miles outside of Custer which gets you away from the crowds while being close enough to go in for supplies. Situated for a short drive to any Black Hills attraction. We visited Wind Cave NP, Custer SP, Deadwood, and many things in between. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone and will stay again if in the area.

Cindy and Rick Hamm provided the perfect cabin for our Dakotas sightseeing vacation. Comfy furnishings and well a appointed place made our vacation wonderful. Our hosts were very accommodating and provided a prompt level of service. Custer SD is a great jump off spot to see the magnificent natural sights of the area.

It was a good choice for our private family gathering.

I am writing this review at the direction of VRBO management/customer service, after frustration with the host. In good faith, I paid in full, months before the reservation. There were several problems and inaccuracies with this listing. I tried to contact both the host and cleaning service the morning after we checked in. Neither number would answer or take a message. The gas stove burner switches were broken and continue to leak gas in the off position. The dishwasher was out of service, and apparently had been for weeks. The TV is old technology and the remote is dog chewed. The recliner is broken. The property was listed with dishwasher, fireplace and fire pit. At check in, we were told by the maid there was a fire ban and no fires allowed. After checking with Black Hills Forrest service website, this was not true. Neither Custer State Park, Custer County (where this property is located) nor Pennigton County, the adjacent county, are in the current ban unit. Finally this property is NOT suitable for six adults. The bed in the "teal room" is a worn out mattress that is in dire need of replacement. There is only room for 3 people at the dining table. There is only room for 4 people in the family/TV/fireplace area. The grounds are unkept outside, with tarps, tailgate mats, left over 2 x 4 pieces, toys and tools. There are free ranging cattle that rub on your vehicles, crap in the drives and moo loudly in the early morning as "wake up" call. But the most disturbing part is the host attitude. First, there was no response until we left the property. I had contacted them several times to see about reporting/fixing the problems, with no answer and no ability to leave a message. But after frustration with issues that were misrepresented and lack of contact, I simply asked for an adjustment for our inconveniences. I had hoped this would be dealt with professionally, after all we paid in full--sight unseen--in good faith. But unfortunately this was met with an abrupt selfishness and unwillingness to make adjustments, even though she admitted full knowledge of the appliances being in disrepair. She went further to say that if I gave any negative review she would consider it "blackmail!" Ridiculous! After all, I paid in advance, she has the advantage.

Quaint cabin however somewhat unkept. It was very basic but worked out ok for our family as we weren’t there a whole lot during our stay. Very good location right outside of Custer; close to all the fun things to do while in South Dakota. 30 minute drive to Mt. Rushmore and even closer to Crazy Horse. Even though it says there’s a fire pit does not mean you’re able to use it -be sure to check the local flag warnings. A couple cons: dishwasher wasn’t working and the grill ran out of propane making our delicious grilled steak dinner a bust. All in all, I’d give it a 5/10 as far as the stay goes but a 10/10 for the adventure!

Great location awesome place

So check in time says 1pm I showed up at 1 only to find the cleaning lady she says check in isn’t until 430. I left message with owner no answer back no signal up there without the WiFi so I sat in my car til some of the other family got there. We cleaned the fridge shelves before we put our food in. And the couch is well worn and ripped. But after all the issues we had a great time and enjoyed being close to Custer

Location was Private and Secluded Perfect spot away from the hustle and bustle and crowds. - Map on the listing showed in Custer State Park but was on the West side of Custer. No big deal though, only 8 minutes to Custer. Property was nice sized for our family of 5. We were disappointed that the cleaning practices advertised weren't followed. High Touch surfaces disinfected ... Switches weren't wiped down for instance and a minimum 1 day vacancy between stays (another guest left a note dated the same day we checked in). There was also a HUGE Moth problem the entire stay we were there. We were very careful when we opened doors and hardly did at night.

Cindy was a great host! The property was spacious for our family of four, clean, and centrally located to all the things we wanted to see. We loved that they provided firewood for the firepit and were easy to reach if we had questions/issues. The only negative is the couch and recliner have seen much better days. Would be nice to have newer furniture in that room.

Lovely cabin with comfy rooms, tranquil and peaceful. Good central location for sites taken during the day and came home to play games on the beautiful scenic deck! .Perfect for us!

Pictures online do not due this cabin justice. It was the perfect size for our family of 5. I loved sitting on the back deck listening to the birds and watching wildlife was so peaceful. We would definitely come back.

My family and I recently moved to the Midwest and have been wanting to travel to all the nearby attractions. This cabin was a little ways back from everything, which we enjoyed, but might not be a good choice for someone who wants to be in the “hustle and bustle” We had everything we could need or want; extra towels, toiletries, napkins, dishes, etc. There were so many cute little touches throughout and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, right in the middle of what we wanted to see and do, and host was very kind and answered questions immediately.
