About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peaceful, private log home with exceptional views and amenities

Located just two miles outside of Custer city limits, you will be enveloped in breathtaking views at this unique-luxury, log cabin home. Distinctive fairy garden landscape will entice you to never want to leave; but if you choose to venture out, you are only 3 mi. to Custer State Park, 6 mi. to Sylvan Lake, 7 mi. to Crazy Horse monument, 21 mi. to Mt. Rushmore and 36 mi. to Reptile Gardens.

Lofted, Master suite provides tub, steam shower and gas fireplace. comfort galore with king aspen log bed. Now features an adjustable, Tempurpedic bed with dual controls. Second bedroom has king pine log bed, tv and shares a Jack & Jill bathroom with third Queen bedroom. Fourth bedroom is a twin/over full log bunk and kid friendly. All mattresses are new, luxury comfort. Half-bath is located on main floor, off a fully equipped kitchen with coffee hutch for your convenience.
Somehow the VRBO program has added an amenity of "Hot tub" to our description somewhere, which is not true. We have never had a hot tub and want guests to clearly understand that. We are working with VRBO to correct that mistake and evidently, that is more difficult than expected!
Guests are welcome to use pantry items, spice cupboards and frig condiments.

Note: we now have AC and furnace for your comfort! Traditionally, log homes are not built with either and have always been heated with electric cove heaters.* We ask guests to not use a cove heater at any time. We have taped over the cove heaters to help guests remember not to use them. Another advantage to living in the Black Hills: very low humidity and typically, the evenings cool off to "chilly". We recommend bringing cozy hoodies.

Laundry, WiFi, land line and 4G cell reception, which is an important detail in the Black Hills. Direct TV service provides movie channels for rainy days. Chimnaya and wood supply on main deck. Our wifi is very strong and provides opportunity for catching up on work. Pets are not welcome, but children certainly are!

Our Grill is on cement deck, (there are 5 decks, each with a gorgeous view!) Beautiful, custom built blue-stained pine dining table sits in front of the wood fireplace with a grand view of the Black Elk Wilderness.

RV bay (18'x24') is available to protect your motorcycles or campers. An attached two car garage provides convenience for everyone.
When making a reservation request, please include your phone number, home address and a little note about yourself. We like to get to know our guests! Be especially careful to provide a phone number that receives text. We also recommend that two people in your party keep Robin's cell phone number handy. That way when one phone gets locked inside the cabin, you still have a way to contact us and get the codes again!

We are very responsive to communicate with guests. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know immediately. Robin responds promptly and wants to do everything possible to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Please don't wait until you are checking out to let us know that you have a problem.

If possible, this excellent property was BETTER than advertised. Beautiful, huge log home, immaculate, incredible solitary-woodsy feel. Furnished very comfortably, and has up-to-date appliances, etc. Access to owner was immediate if questions were needed by us. It had a very "homey" feel. We hated to leave.

We celebrated a sibling birthday with 4 couples. This property is secluded yet close to many of the Black Hills must see treasures. The house was tastefully decorated and had all the needed amenities. The main deck has amazing views. The owner was responsive and accommodating to our needs. We hope to return.

Our home away from home!
Our family loves everything about this house! This was our third time in this house and I hope not our last. The location is perfect. It takes 5 minutes to get to town but sitting on one of the many decks you feel like you are deep in the woods. We have stayed in 2 other houses in the area but this house is by far our favorite!

Week stay in Custer
Overall, our family of 6 enjoyed our stay. It was private and surrounded by nature, yet only 5 minutes to town. The kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. We saw deer and turkeys around the house almost every day. The garage came in handy for parking the car and storing bikes. The reasons I gave 4 stars on accuracy of description and 4 overall is due to bedroom setup. We wished the primary bedroom was more private, and the 4th bedroom had better window treatments. We will consider staying here if we are ever in the area again.

Clean. Comfortable. Great location.
I can't say we were surprised, because the listing details and photos for this home are very accurate--- but we were all pleasantly pleased when everything was even nicer than we anticipated. The location is fantastic. Close enough to town to make quick trips for food or supplies, but nestled away on a quiet dead end road with nothing else in sight. All the Black Hills sites are within easy driving distance, and our group of 4 (ages 64-77) thoroughly enjoyed being able to relax in our comfy cabin after a day of touring. Not one negative about the entire experience.

Planning on exploring The Black Hills region and The Badlands? Book this incredible property near Custer as your home base. It is ideally located. It offers quiet solitude, comfort and privacy after busy days exploring. You can hang out on the deck off the living area, read, sleep, or just soak in nature. Enjoy the fire pit or just plop in the reclining sofa and enjoy some TV. The beds are soooo comfortable and the house is quiet providing a great nights sleep to refresh you for the next day! The kitchen was wonderful and well stocked if you choose to prepare your own meals. If not, there are great restaurants ten minutes away in Custer. Our host, Robin, was incredible. Great communication and quick responses, a great sense of humor and wonderful recommendations.

Absolutely amazing
This was our last stay on a ten-day road trip and I can honestly say we saved the best place for last. This cabin is incredible! From the peaceful quiet to the zero light pollution and the rock gardens outside. Inside the cabin is GORGEOUS and my personal favorite was the shower that doubled as a steam room! Robin was amazing as well and I’ve already told her we will be back!
