Loft was perfectly located for day trips to all the tourist attractions near Custer. The only downside is that all the luggage had to be carried up a flight of stairs no elevator We would stay there again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine W. 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous location in Custer We used Custer as our base for a five day trip to SD. This apartment was in a fabulous location. It was clean and the owners even had a a free Custer State Park pass for us to use. ##### Christine W. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan C. 25 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location! We loved staying in Downtown Custer! Close to all the sites we wanted to visit during the day, and we could walk to donuts in the morning or ice cream and souvenir shopping in the evening! Don’t miss the Custer skywalk trailhead behind the apartment. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby, but since we were cooking several meals to save money we wished for more kitchen items. Luckily we had packed a mixing bowl (there were none) and we had to go buy a spatula to flip our pancakes. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great, and plenty of tables and chairs for eating and game playing, but we wished for more than one couch for the 5 of us to enjoy a comfortable seat for a movie night. We didn’t realize when booking that there was more than one apartment in the loft, but it was surprisingly quiet, despite having close neighbors. Would happily stay there again! ##### Jonathan C.
