One Level Log Home on 3.5 Acres, Beautiful Views, Newly Updated

Description:

Beautiful three bedroom, two bath, log home with new modern amenities. An open floor plan that allows family and friends to inclusively prepare meals while enjoying wonderful views of the natural beauty from every window and the crackling of the fireplace and/or while watching the 65” television with free Wi-Fi internet access. Two king size beds and one queen over queen bunk bed.

For those looking for alone time, there is an open air three season reading room ideal for phone calls, work or simply reading a book in an oversized leather chair with a cup of hot coffee or a chilled adult beverage.

The kitchen has pots, pans, plates, utensils, etc. to create memorable vacation meals and offers a healthy economical alternative to eating meals at local restaurants. Also, unlike many of the rural homes in the Black Hills area, there is excellent well water available from the tap. In fact, most folks choose to bottle our fresh ice cold tap water for their day trips.

COVID-19:

Please follow the current recommended PPE protocols during the time of travel.

Weather Considerations and Access:

The weather in South Dakota, although unpredictable, is beautiful. The air is fresh with moderate temperatures during the summer months. Occasional afternoon showers will not be an access concern, unlike many rentals in the Black Hills having miles of dirt roads, because the house has a paved driveway. No cause for concern with the summer hail as the house has an overly large attached two car garage available for parking your personal car, motorcycle and/or the rental car.

Wildlife:

Almost daily, deer frequent the yard in the evenings, bluebirds abound and squirrels playfully chatter from the trees.

Additional Amenities:

We have fishing poles available for kids to enjoy the free fishing, for those 12 years of age or younger, in the many nearby lakes, without parents having to invest in this gear for a one time vacation outing. Lawn chairs and coolers are also made available. For those with toddlers or babies, we provide a Pack-n-Play and a booster seat for the car.

Local Access:

The house is less than 1 mile from the community golf course, 3 miles from downtown Custer, 3 miles from a new 76 bed community hospital, 6 miles from the Custer State Park entrance, 9 miles from Crazy Horse Memorial, 20 miles from Mt. Rushmore and 72 miles of beautiful Black Hills riding to Sturgis. In fact, the best riding in the Black Hills is in the Custer area through the Needles Highway.

Loved this cabin!

We loved staying at this cabin. It was plenty large for our family and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. The wood fireplace made for a cozy stay. It had everything we needed and was the perfect place to enjoy our time in the black hills.

This is a really cute cabin in a nice, quiet neighborhood with stunning views of the black hills. We enjoyed hanging out on the 2 porches, taking in the fresh pine tree smell. The property was extremely well equipped with all of the basics. The owners take care of everything, so there is nothing to worry about during your stay. It's right off highway 16, so it's very convenient to get to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, and Custer state Park.

Great location and home!

Stayed for three nights with four adults, two kids and two dogs. Home is very welcoming and fully stocked. Great location close to downtown Custer but also in a very quiet location with great views from the deck. Owner was very responsive to any questions and requests. Would stay again!

One of the best

This was are fist Vrbo and the host knocked it out of the park with the little extras that were provided for condiments. This experience may take us to rent Vrbo instead of hotels going forward. The wildlife and scenery around the cabin was beautiful. The host answered all questions quickly. If ever in the black hills area check out this place.

Good times at a great place

This log home was the perfect place for us to stay. Rooms beds and the kitchen were just what we needed. Well stocked (three different ways to make coffee). Never turned on the large TV ( that pulls down to a better viewing level ) above the fire place. Great location! Arlene is easy to communicate with. I’d recommend it to anyone. Bart & Rebecca Stone

Pretty dang perfect

I'm not really sure where to begin honestly. This was the most perfect place for my family and I. Arlene had the cabin well stocked with really anything you can think of or possibly need! It was beautiful inside and out. Plenty of room, rest and relaxation for all 6 of us! Our fur baby also enjoyed his stay, there was dog bowls if needed and leads outside for him. I would absolutely recommend this home for anyone in the area and we will be back! Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for the family!

We will be back

We are group of 8 ( 6 of us out of Europe). We are very happy we had an opportunity to stay in this house. It gave us a chance to meet Nancy and get in touch with the owner, very pleasant and attentive individuals. The house by itself help us to relax and radiated good energy. This was such a great stay. Property is clean, kitchen very well stuffed, neighborhood very safe, view from the porch is amazing. We will be back if possible. We are highly recommending this cabin.

Arlene’s cabin had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The home was very clean, well maintained, and conveniently located close to downtown. There were plenty of thoughtful extras that made our visit feel easy and cozy. Our dog especially loved having space to run around in the yard, which made it even better for the whole family.Arlene was a fantastic host, friendly, polite, and very communicative throughout our entire stay. She made everything smooth from start to finish. We truly enjoyed our time here and will definitely keep this cabin in mind for future visits.

Traveled with my parents, husband, and 2 year old and we fell in love with this cabin! We felt more like guests in someone’s home and not just a rental. The beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on (memory foam?), the views, the space, its close to Custer and several hot spots. There are so many amenities and little extras that just make you feel at home. The home is very toddler and dog friendly. There’s a pack n play, high chair, booster seat, kids dinnerware. For dogs, there are several leads, dog beds, treats etc. would definitely book again.

The perfect spot that has everything you need!

We had the best weekend celebrating my birthday and spending time with friends who are like family! The house was laid out perfectly, making it so comfortable and easy to relax. The beds were super comfortable, and the queen-size bunk beds made the perfect kids’ room—such a great setup! The owner truly thought of everything—from a well-stocked kitchen (condiments included!) to a great selection of toys and games. The quality of the dishware, pots, and pans really stood out too. We felt right at home and can’t wait to come back!

Had a great vacation in the black hills with our granddaughter. This house was set up with everything we needed to cook meals and hang out after a day of sightseeing. The yard was a bonus as we brought along our Lab who enjoyed running around and fetching up his toys. House was clean and comfortable to stay in. Would recommend this home if you’re in Custer.

We used this home as a base for exploring the Black Hills. It was only 1 minute from the Custer sign, making the location convenient to get groceries or go out to eat. The beds are memory foam and are comfortable. All the appliances are new, and the home even had amenities for our dogs! We brought our Halo collars, which worked perfectly, keeping our dogs within the property lines. The view from the dining room is stunning! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay near Custer. It was a beautiful home that had everything we needed and more!

Absolutely Perfect

I couldn’t have found a better place. My husband and I our daughter and her husband and 2 adult sons all stayed. The home was so nicely furnished, perfectly clean, all the amenities you could ask for. Outside was nice with plenty of room for us to have friends over and celebrate a birthday. Played corn hole and ladder toss. Room for football. It was such a great weekend. Definitely worth the money.
