Best place to stay in Custer!

This is the perfect location to easily get to all the fun attractions around Custer as well as being able to enjoy what the town of Custer has to offer. The house is close enough to the main street downtown that you can walk to restaurants and bars, but far enough away to be super quiet at night. The house itself is very well maintained and they have literally everything you need to enjoy your stay.

Location location location!

Home was perfectly situated to visit Custer state Park, Crazy Horse Monument, and both Jewel & Wind Cave. The kitchen was well stocked and the place was roomy and quiet. It could use a coffee table and some bedside lamps, but otherwise it was perfect.

Sleeps 6 not 8

The place is very clean and we enjoyed our stay. The only problem is that it is listed for 8 people and there is only space for 6!! Very disappointing. One of our group had to sleep in the floor.

No AC! Do not get entire home

There is no AC! We arrived after 15 hours of traveling. Very tired and hot. Home was 83 degrees downstairs and 90 upstairs. We could not get it to cool down. I tried calling the phone number for the host twice and messaged them 3 times. Got no response. It was so hot that we left and found a hotel. She finally got back with me the next morning. She apologized and offered to put a window unit in, but that was too late. I asked about a refund, even if it was partial and I still haven’t heard anything from her. Her description doesn’t state there is AC. But it does not say there isn’t one. I understand it is cold most of the time in SD but if you rent you should have AC. This is my first ever bad review on VRBO.
