Communication with the host was easy and efficient. Cabin was pretty much what we expected, we were traveling with 2 dogs, so the cabin worked out well for them. We've never stayed at a vrbo before, so weren't sure what to expect, but were a bit put off by the "binder" on the table with instructions on how to care for the cabin. We've always been clean and well behaved guests anywhere we've stayed, but to have an outline of what was expected and how to clean up after ourselves and directions on how to strip the beds when we left was a little over the top, had a difficult time relaxing while at the cabin, felt monitored. Again, we are clean people, whenever we've left a property, even a hotel, we've always picked up after ourselves, gathered all the laundry (towels, etc.) and placed them in a pile in the bathroom, took our own trash out, etc. But to be told to strip the bedding and place it in a basket, vacuum the floors, sweep, etc. kind of took the vacation feel away and put it back to being at home, if I wanted to do chores, I would have planned day trips and stayed home. We were charged for "cleaning fees" and a pet fee, pet fees were a little high, but expected. We cleaned everything, we vacuumed, wiped out appliances, cleaned the bathroom, shower, etc, I'm thinking we'll stay at a hotel next time we travel and save ourselves from having to be our own maid service and charged for it too. The area was great and we enjoyed our time when we were away from the cabin.

Stay was great!

This property feels like you’re out in the country, yet you are three minutes from downtown Custer. A cozy, comfortable cabin that is a great home base for a Black Hills/Custer State Park vacation. The owners are attentive and available, and the cabin has nearly everything you’ll need. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Elk Haven. Beth and Kris were great hosts, both are friendly and very helpful. Our cabin was cozy and well appointed. Would highly recommend!

Great cabin tucked in the black hills but close to Custer! Morning visits by deer and super peaceful! Hosts were great checking in to see if we needed anything! I highly recommend!

We were very pleased with the cabin and all of the amenities it had to offer. We were there 5 nights, wish it could have been longer. Spent a couple evenings out by the firepit. Beautiful scenery and wildlife nearby. Cabin was near town but away enough that we did not see much traffic. Thank you for a great experience.

This property offers everything you need. Great location, beautiful views, and convenient to all the sites. Owner is very easy to get ahold of.
