About this cabin rental

Situated in West Custer Township, this lovely cabin for $215 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. The original cabin was built circa 1930, and remains true to this day to it's beginnings; however some years later the kitchen, bath and bedroom were added to offer more space and the modern conveniences. The log walls in the living room are chinked with real buffalo hide and all the décor pays homage to the history and settling of the area. We have displayed a collection of Indian related items and artwork, as well as memorabilia of the old west, homesteading, hunting and trapping...all of which were a part of Black Hills history. The cabin sits on several acres, sharing a border with Forest Service, and only about 1500 ft. from the entrance to Custer State Park, one of the largest state parks in the USA. The large living room's focal point is a beautiful, native rock arched fireplace with a gas log to take the chill off on cool evenings as well as contribute to the cozy ambiance. There is a full-size sofa bed. With the queen bed and double bed in the bedroom, there is room for up to six people to stay. There is a large, flat screen TV also in the living room, and access to internet. We do have a washer and dryer available for longer-stay guests. The charming country kitchen has a wonderful, huge window above the sink, affording a lovely view. And, the kitchen is equipped with full-size appliances, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, dishes, pots and pans. We also stock basic staples such as coffee, sugar, salt and pepper, and also condiments like ketchup and mustard. We are actually licensed as a B&B, but instead of preparing a meal for you at a set time and place, we simply provide you with some fresh foods in the fridge, fresh fruits, cereals and most often something freshly baked. The well water here is so good you will not want bottled water, and has been tested periodically for safety. We have bicycles for your use, with a hiking, bicycle paved trail adjacent which goes to Custer. In Custer, this paved trail joins the Mickelson Trail, which is a rails-to-trails pathway which transverses the entire Black Hills south to north, with many trail heads to access sections. If you like wildlife watching, just sit outside (or simply look out any window in the cabin) in the morning or maybe at sunset and don't be surprised if you see deer or turkey watching you. We will keep a supply of feed available to give them a treat, but be warned that if you do, they will be back! As owners, we take pride in keeping the cabin up to your expectations. We do our own cleaning, and do not charge a cleaning fee. We are the new owners and our goal will be to do all we can to ensure your visit here is pleasant. NEWS BULLETIN: We have just finished building another cabin on the Stockade Lake Cabin property. This will enable a larger family or group of friends to book both cabins and have more space and bathrooms! Or, for just two or three guests who don't need the space of the big cabin and want to save money, as "Hunter's Cabin" will be available at a much lower rate. The vrbo listing number for Hunter's Cabin is 1349230, so please check it out. The new cabin is a rustic type, one room concept with full bath and kitchen, and covered porch. I have included some pics of Hunter’s cabin on this site, so you can see what is available if you are needing two cabins on same location

We felt instantly welcomed and at home. This is a fully furnished cabin with all the comforts of home. Charming decor, a little bit Native American and a little bit Country and whole lot cozy.

This cabin is the perfect location for visiting Custer, SD and surrounding area. Roberta was a terrific hostess, complete with fresh fruit and blueberry muffins upon our arrival. Although we never needed anything, no doubt she would have been very accessible and responsive to any needs. An added bonus was seeing deer in the yard each morning and evening.

The location of the cabin is just up the road from the entrance to Custer State Park, which is a beautiful park with many lakes, hiking trails, lodges/restaurants. It’s also close to Mt. Rushmore which is a must see. The cabin itself is incredible with the original living room built in the 1930s with a gorgeous rock fireplace and large front window looking out onto Stockade Lake. My husband and I drank our coffee every morning and watched the deer every evening from the big front porch deck, which is one of my many favorite memories of this trip to the Black Hills. Roberta, the owner, was there to greet us when we arrived and even left us with homemade pistachio muffins, which were delicious! We had an issue with the bathroom sink draining very slowly, and it was fixed immediately and with no inconvenience to us. It is a beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting, and we hope to be back someday soon.

Cabin was cluttered with a lot of stuff! Cabin had a very musty smell! The walk up too the cabin was long and rocky! Price was high for only two adults!

Roberta is the best hostess. She's very sweet and wants to make sure you are happy. The cabin is very charming and clean. There are plenty of plates, utensils, etc. The view is fantastic. The location is excellent to get into Custer State Park or the heart of Custer. There is no a/c, but it was not necessary during our stay in early July. I assume it's rarely necessary. I highly recommend this to couples looking for a quiet getaway.
