Great place, 6 bedrooms were great for 3 families. Very clean and modern. Would definitely come back there. The online information was entirely correct to what we found and experienced. Hot tub was great and very popular. Loved the two bedrooms near the game room, terrific for the kids.  Kitchen had every appliance we needed. Two washers and dryers were wonderful for us.


Couple notes: Sauna either was not working or we failed to turn it on correctly. Not an issue for us.
                              Stools around island need some felt bottoms, they are uneven.
                               Fan control in southeast bedroom - battery dead

Wonderful stay! Clean and well maintained. Would stay again for sure!

Super enjoyed staying here! It was super close to Mt. Rushmore and Wind Cave. Also, only an 1.5 hour trip to Badlands! So we were able to get two parks and a memorial all in one trip. Loved this house as it fit our party of 10 wonderfully. Would stay here again!

The home was great for our family.  We enjoyed staying in the Custer area.  Nice to have the king beds, & very nice bathrooms.  Everyone loved the spacious kitchen & the gorgeous island.  The kids really liked the game room, pool table being the most popular.  Of course the hot tub was a hit also.  The large screen TV’s in all rooms were a plus!  Thanks for a memorable vacation in Custer!

Beautiful comfortable home, comfortable beds. Very clean. Outside amenities were great. Very quick to respond to questions. Great place for kids. They loved the outdoors and watching the deer and wild turkeys in the back yard in the mornings.
