Great location. Communication was excellent. We even locked ourself out and they answered right away. The house had everything you would need for a family. We saw deer daily and the hot tub was great after a long day of exploring. It was nice to be able to use the season pass for Custer park. I would recommend this property to anyone ##### Rhonda V.

We had a 21 year old son, 70 year old mom, and my wife and I, and everyone had a beautiful room that was spacious and clean. The kitchen was amazing - we made breakfast and dinner most days, and having a dishwasher made it that much better! The location of the home allowed for lots of wildlife including turkeys, deer and marmots(?), and we were lucky enough to be there when the aurora borealis was visible and the views from the house were unbeatable. Having the Custer State Park pass in the house book was an added bonus - we thoroughly enjoyed the park. Thank you for a great visit to Custer! ##### Thomas F.
