It was the perfect size for our family of 15, we had everything we needed to make meals and relax.

The adults loved having no cell reception, the kids not so much, this is not in the control of the owners and we will stay again regardless.

The house was comfortable and remote, perfect for an extended family side x side trip. Close enough to Custer for daily trips to town for gas, yet quiet and within minutes to the trails.. Ten adults ate and slept comfortably. Parking was available for two cars, three trucks & trailers as well as four side x sides. Excellent communication with hosts.

The property was in a good location, surrounded by trees and about 10 minutes from Custer. Not having Wifi or cell phone reception was a positive, as it gave us some time to "unplug" and focus on spending time together.

Upon arrival, there were about 50 moths flying around the cabin. I single-handedly killed over 30 with a fly swatter the first night. This made many of our guests uncomfortable as moths were found under pillows, in the water tank of the coffee maker, etc. The lodge was not as clean and well maintained as we had hoped based on reviews. There was black mold growing around the bathtub and water leaking from the toilet bowl in the bathroom. In addition, the lodge had an unpleasant odor that kind of smelled like mildew or body odor. Our interactions with the hosts were disappointing. We had the feeling of being scrupulously watched and monitored during our stay, almost like having "helicopter hosts". Unfortunately we did not feel treated as valued guests, but rather with suspicion.

Had a great time, lots of bedrooms and beds. Great layout and overall cleanliness was good. All the dishes and cooking items we needed.

Overall the cabin was very clean. Shower curtain in Master was quite dirty. This was the biggest disappointment regarding cleanliness especially because this is an item that is very easy to swap out with a clean one while the dirty one is being cleaned. Another thing that would have been nice would be to have at least a small area around the cabin mowed and kept up. I understand that this is a relatively primitive area, but there were thick weeds right up the building and patios along with some weeds coming through the cracks in the patio. Would also have liked to have a gas fire pit, but this was not something we expected since it was not advertised as having one. BlueTooth speakers might be better than the CD player. These comments are meant to help not complaining.

The location was awesome, really close to all the sights we wanted to visit. It was in the middle of a wooded area with other cabins near by, but it was very quiet at night we could not hear any loud noises from the near by cabins.

Really can not complain about anything. The cabin did get hot in the afternoon but cooled right off in the evening with the windows open. The moths were pretty bad ,but we were warned ahead of time by the owner about the moths. Like I said we can't really complain about anything after all it is a cabin in the woods.

The location was perfect, 15 minutes to town but still out in the forest away from everything. The owners communication was excellent. It took the kids a little bit to get used to not being "plugged in" all the time but we loved it!

A wonderful property! It fit all of us nicely! Nicely decorated, owners were fantastic! Very clean and welcoming! We had a wonderful time!

No Wii fi Not enough hot water for showers.

If you are looking for a place to appreciate the outdoor beauty of the Custer,SD area, this is the place! We were met with great hospitality, and loved this opportunity to UNPLUG from everything. We had wildlife all around us, and enjoyed the spaciousness of the lodge. We found a new area of the US that everyone should explore and visit.
