With a hot tub, sauna, and wildlife encounters right outside, every stay promises relaxation and cherished family moments in the heart of the Black Hills.

Our stay at hilltop cabin was lovely. The whole cabin is decorated so well, the beds are extremely comfortable and the cleanliness was everything you would want for a home away from home.
Everyday we were able to see several deer grazing on the grass in the yard, which was so fun to see.
Our whole family loved the game room and used it everyday, and the hot tub and sauna were exactly what was needed after a long day seeing the sights of South Dakota.
The hosts are very responsive and fast to address anything that might come up.
If you’re considering staying here I would recommend you do. It really was the perfect place to stay in Custer.

We loved our stay and would happily come again! The location is private and has beautiful surroundings. The hot tub, sauna, and game room were great additions!

Great place they offer practically everything.

We had a great stay, everything was clean and as expected. Communication and instructions prior to check-in were clear and helpful.  Sauna and hot tub were nice perks.  A great home base for exploring the Black Hills.  Would definitely not hesitate to stay here again!

I had been searching for the perfect place that had what I wanted to enjoy a week away from work with my husband. This home was definitely the CLEANEST place I had ever stayed at. Beautiful surroundings! We felt so comfortable here, and our host was so responsive to any questions we had. I loved the candy jars throughout the house and the welcome basket with snacks as well as some water in the fridge. The basement game room was so fun! Enjoyed playing board games and the Arcade machine, I felt like a kid again. The hot tub was our favorite! The sauna was amazing. Honestly, everything was perfect. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great place to stay while exploring the area. We even saw deer around the property. Peaceful and quiet. Feels secluded but not far away from everything. The guidebook was such a great reference to look to for instructions or recommendations.  Great host, great home, great time! You will not be disappointed! I will definitely be back!
