Cabin house close to custer

We had a great stay and plenty of room and beds for our party of 12! Clean and comfortable, and close to town but just far enough way from town.

Wonderful Family Experience

Beautiful cabin setting close to Custer but far enough away from everything to enjoy campfires and porch swings. Our family and grandkids had a wonderful time and Cheryl and Frank were such great hosts! The banana bread was delicious

Couples trip to side by side in the Black Hills

We loved our stay at the Blessing log cabin. It was roomy and comfy, with lots of space for us. The host & hostess are very accommodating & good to work with. Loved the homemade goodies they left for us. Would definitely recommend this property, the convenience of being close to town was a plus! Thank you Frank & Cheryl for sharing your beautiful property!!

Wonderful Historic Cabin

It was a beautiful Cabin rural yet close to downtown Custer. Tea or coffee in the morning on the dexk overlooking the Bulls was an add benefit.

Family Vacay

Excellent stay and location. FYI - there is air conditioning on the main level but not upstairs bedrooms, however it does cool off at night and having the windows open really brought the temps down and it was very comfortable (in June) Host was very welcoming and friendly - would highly recommend staying here!

Great cabin in a beautiful area!

Had a great time at this cabin. Loved the outdoor area, just wish it wasn’t so close to the main road. They had fun outdoor and indoor games for the kids, the kitchen had just about everything you would need. Cheryl was friendly and gave us a full tour of the cabin when checking in. Great place for a large group.

Homey and Relaxing

A group of 6 of us stayed in the cabin for 4 nights and found it delightful. It was clean and comfortable. The (2) porches were amazing places to sit and relax with a cup of coffee. We grilled out one evening on the BBQ grill and ate outside. Perfect setting!!!

A lovely place for a group in the Southern Hills

This was a great place for my family of 6 to have ample space for fun and relaxation. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The location is just outside of Custer, which made driving around very convenient. The trade off is some highway noise, which was only noticeable when we were on the deck. As a bonus, it was nice to have the Mickelson trail so close. We would definitely stay here again.

A perfect spot

This was our second visit to Custer and we loved this house's proximity to town, the state park, and other destinations. The interior is spacious and very well taken care of. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were updated, decks were gorgeous. Lots of beautiful outdoor space for the kids to run around and climb on rocks. There was some road noise when sitting on the side deck especially, but for us the trade-off of being so close to town was worth it.

Wonderful Vacation!

We loved this lodge/cabin. It's in a great location, great scenery on the grounds, and wonderful owners. Cheryl and Frank are very welcoming and gave great suggestions for outings and eating places. The lodge/cabin was very clean and had everything you could need for an away from home stay. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in a unique, historical cabin. We definitely will be contacting them when vacationing in the area again.

Beautiful location!

We stayed at this property for a family reunion. It was the perfect size for our family. Beautiful location, comfortable furnishings. Owners were easy to communicate with. I really appreciated that the owners let us know upfront that the week we booked was the Sturgis motorcycle rally. We decided to keep it booked anyway and have no regrets. Would stay here again!
