This cabin is lovely and spacious - my family of 8 (7 adults and a 15-year-old) had plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen is fully stocked with all you’ll need for making meals. The basement game room was often a spot where we gathered - though it should be noted that this is the only common space with a TV - not a huge deal, but worthy to mention if you’re looking for a space to watch a movie together. The only frustration I had was the need to reach out because almost all of the hand soaps and body wash containers were practically empty - and when we ran out of toilet paper, we were told that they “don’t provide mid stay amenities”. It’s frustrating to pay so much and be told that we had to get our own TP if we ran out! It wouldn’t stop me from staying here, but definitely caused some frustration during our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Home in Custer! The property was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared with mostly everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The location was perfect for exploring the Black Hills, with easy access to nearby attractions while still offering a peaceful place to unwind. Stay In The Black Hills was responsive and helpful throughout our stay, and the check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. We would happily stay here again and would recommend this home to anyone visiting the area.
