The location of this property is perfect for touring the Black Hills. However, as mentioned in other recent comments, the house is old and needs a lot of work, particularly the bathrooms. They are very old and in need of major work - no shower head in the basement shower, kitchen faucet on the master bath sink, torn shower curtain, among other things. The kitchen and living area were fine, but I expected something more up to date for the amount of money we paid. Very disappointed.

House was pleasantly larger than anticipated. Plenty of beds. The low rating is due to the condition of the bathrooms and general uncleanliness of house & yard. Bathroom toilets, sinks & tubs were gross with chips, stains, & hard water rings. Carpet in the king bed room was filthy with stains in multiple places. The bathroom towels were stiff and not present on the main level. We had to search the house & found them downstairs. The kitchen was dirty, dusty and not stocked well. It didn’t feel like house was ready for paying guests and overpriced for the value we received. For heavens sake, take the huge host fee and shampoo the carpets, clean the silverware, wipe off the front of the dishwasher, & be ready for the next client.

Very cute place which made a great base for our family as we spent time exploring the black hills. Good sized kitchen for cooking.
Was disappointed that the decks pictured were not usable due to being under construction of some kind.
No air conditioning

Outdoor areas were virtually unusable. Huge hole in the ground directly outside the kitchen door. Because th porch/ decking has been removed with no disclosure before we arrived. The weeds would have had to be mowed by us to use the fire pit. We brought an entire bag of s’mores ingredients which we never used. It was spacious but furniture is mostly like hand me downs. Super thin toilet paper and paper towels so we bought our own. Shower curtains are very grungy. Great location and easy checkin. I’m sorry but we wouldn’t stay here again unless it got some tender loving care from the owner.

The house accomodated our family very well and we enjoyed our stay there. The only issue was that the lawn needed to be mowed and the deck & deck furniture was in bad shape. A part of the deck was under construction.

I grew up in this town and was in this house often over my childhood at birthday parties, play dates, etc. This house has so much history!
It was great for our group of 7—plenty of room to cook, dine, and watch movies in the basement as a family. The front porch was also a great place to have an evening cocktail and watch the rabbits and deer in the neighborhood. And the location was perfect for walking downtown and to many restaurants, etc. Also, the city pool is two doors down!
The only disappointments were the grass wasn’t mowed on the property, the pool table wasn’t accessible as the house “manual” suggested we enjoy. And the back deck was gone/in the middle of being repaired. It was a big pit of gravel. So instead of being able to walk right out of the kitchen onto the deck to grill, we had to walk down the stairs on the side of the house to the grills in the grass. The top step of those side steps was rotting and one of our family members fell. So if you plan to do a lot of outdoor cooking and eating, I’d confirm the back deck is actually there as is in the pictures.

The kitchen, utensils, and equipment was in rough shape. All very old. Getting door code late and getting rushed at checkout wasn’t great. Outdoor space wasn’t usable due to in-progress patio construction, so only eating in doors was a disappointment.

The home is large, beautiful and comfortable. Area is rustic and cozy. Amenities are plentiful and well seasoned. We will definitely visit again. Perfect for our family.

Came to Custer, SD for a wedding. Weather was great & house was perfect. Communication on day of arrival was perfect and instructions prior to arrival was very helpful.
We enjoyed the location of the house to downtown Custer. Also, loved waking up and watching the deer in the yard.
Recommend the house for someone looking for a place with room and great location.

Overall, this was a nice home for our family with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. It was nice to have a separate family room downstairs to stay up late and watch a movie. Internet and appliances all worked well. A nice easy walk or drive to downtown Custer. The only negatives are that the basement shower needs some repair, back deck was being replaced and could not be used by us, and the lawn and borders could use a little maintenance and TLC (i.e. around the firepit, etc.). But overall a nice place and would stay here again!

Family vacation
This was the perfect location for weekend vacation with family. Having to drive many hours, this was perfect location with short drives to everything we wanted to do. Had great family bonding game evenings at large dining table. Disappointed back (morning shade) deck was removed, once sun rose higher was able to sit in front deck for morning coffee.

Overall the stay was great. Very convenient to all the activities we wanted to do. The inside of the house was great. There were plenty of sleeping space for our family of 9 plus our 3 dogs. We didn't spend much time outside as we were busy sight seeing, but it would have been nice if the lawn was mowed and trimmed a little more often.

The house was big and roomy, it would’ve been perfect for everyone who was supposed to come with us! We enjoyed the house and all the surrounding sights. Would love to go back during the summertime and stay again.

Our 4 nights stay at the Custer House was great during Christmas 2020. (6 adults, 2 sm children). The home was very welcoming and decorated with a Christmas tree, twinkle lights, red table cloth and poinsettia. The home was clean and comfortable. The property was spacious both inside and out. Both fireplaces worked and added to the festive atmosphere. There was also a lighted Christmas tree in the downstairs. The couches were very comfortable and lots of room for the kids to play. We enjoyed watching movies in the main room. We met both hosts and enjoyed learning the history of the home (about the rock fireplace, year the home was built, builder, etc). Our host Oats was very responsive to any and all questions and/or texts. We would highly recommend this VRBO!

Check in was easy. Received the code ahead of time and everything looked great. Plenty of bedding in the bedrooms, in case we got chilled or the kids moved rooms. Plenty of room for a couple families comfortably. Loved the uniqueness of the home. Warm fireplace. Appreciated fans in each room as we are fan sleepers. Plenty of utensils in the kitchen for anything we needed. Great place to stay. We hope to be back to the area next year and the place available again. Close to downtown . Loved seeing all the deer! Great sun light in the windows!

We stayed just one day and 2 nights so did not have much chance to have a full experience of the home and town. I will say that the house is very spacious with a few sitting areas and tables, etc. It both rained and snowed while we were there and the electric fireplace was both warm and cozy. One can walk to the main street of Custer where there are shops and restaurants, and Custer State Park is not very far of a drive.
