Beautiful, Countryside, 6 Bdrm Next to Custer State Park with Air Conditioning

This 6 bedroom, 3000 square foot home is a completely remodeled ranch style house with new paint, flooring, bedding and amenities. Central Air conditioning.
We are located 1.5 miles from the edge of Custer State Park. My husband and I have a house nearby. We own and operate The Little Red Inn (1.5 miles from this Brown House), Grandpa’s House (2.5 miles away) and French Creek Hideaway (6 miles away).
Fully renovated in 2025! The backyard is enclosed so young children can run. The front looks onto a pond that can be accessed for pole fishing by standing along the county road. There is an upstairs sitting area with a large tv and a downstairs area as well so the kids can have a space. Both spaces have 70 inch TVs. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and downstairs there are 2 more. Bathrooms are on each level. You are 1 mile from the back entrance to Custer State Park. This takes you to Needles Hwy ( about 4 miles away).
The house has a little room with books, toys and a canvas mushroom play space for youngsters and there is a shuffleboard for adults and tweens.

The outdoor Firepit area is a favourite.
It looks onto a beautiful meadow where horses commonly graze.
We are next to the best hiking, biking, motorcycle riding in the nation.
We are also close to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and centrally located to Keystone, Hill City and Hot Springs. We are about 5 miles from Custer, 2 miles on gravel.

We believe in supporting the community and want to invest in the future of Custer. I’m a local physician and I work at the clinic. Hiking and biking is right out the front door. Views of the meadow include a moonrise and elk grazing, along with horses roaming and running. Morning coffee on the large deck is glorious with a calming view and we have a garage for gatherings that walks out into a large firepit and gathering area. We have created what we would want when we travel with our family. We take pride that we manage our own property and live in the area.

We have fiber optics and streaming options for television and movies.

Custer has incredible dining. Best burgers around at Burger and Bun and Bakers Bakery. Get reservations for upscale fine dining at Skogen Kitchen. Enjoy breakfast at Bakers Bakery and upscale Hjem am (reservations encouraged). Have dinner on the patio and relax with a beer at The Custer Wolf. Enjoy the locals at Our Place. Experience a brewery experience at Pounding Fathers and a sports bar atmosphere at The Buglin Bull. Sage Creek Grille is fantastic and may have a line in the summer. Incredible food.
Cook at home with a Ninja blender, Ninja Grill, Airfryer and Pressure Cooker. I have stocked this home like I cook in my own home.
A Ninja hot and cold coffee maker is available for your pleasure.
There is a large roaster pan and lots of sauce pans and cooking bowls and utensils. Service for 12 with bowls, plates and glasses. Blackstone Grill outside.

Nightlife and live music at The Beacon.

Tons of outdoor biking and hiking activities. Hot Air balloon rides with Black Hills Balloons. Bikes and climbing, kayak equipment at South Dakota Outdoor Sports.

You could spend days in the surrounding area going from place to place ... or you could relax and do nothing.

Nice older home fit our needs.
Not a fancy house but that was nice as we had little kids with us so no need to fuss. House was clean which we appreciated. Not a lot of cooking space so if you're cooking for a big group this might be a bit challenging. No dishwasher.

Perfect Place for Our Whole Family
Came for a wedding in Custer State Park, and this was the perfect place for our large family of kids and grandkids to stay. Plenty of place for sleeping and getting fixed up for a wedding. Great steamer to get all the travel wrinkles out! Loved morning coffee outside on the beautiful patio area. Well stocked kitchen with anything you could need. Two coffee pots to keep us all caffeinated.😊 Lower level bathroom so wonderful with blue tooth speaker. We all loved our stay!!

Custer Getaway
This place was exactly as pictured, actually it's even larger than what we were expecting. There were 3 of us couples, we rented UTV's in Hill City for 3 days and had the best time. The house and property was so relaxing and quiet. The views from the front and back were awesome. The big picture windows in the front looked out over a beautiful lake and the back was a serene meadow with deer every evening.

Great house with all you need for a great stay
Clean, plenty of space, and great amenities for a 6 bedroom to help make your stay great. From Kitchen supplies, cooking supplies and options from large Blackstone grill to insta-pot to ninja grill. Which is needed for a large house with large capacity. Awesome outdoor area with large sitting area to a nice firepit area which has access to the garage which has a second frig and a shuffleboard table. Also great fishing for the kids on the small pond/lake across the road. My family truly enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

First time out west!
My husband and I brought our 4 children, 3 spouses and 2grandsons to SD. House was perfect for our large group. Beds were great, plenty of towels and temperature was very comfortable. Opened the windows at night and it was cool, closed them in the morning and the house stayed cool. Joy and Matt were helpful and neighbor saved our fire pit night with dry wood after it rained much of one day. I would easily recommend this house as it was convenient to downtown Custer, the state park and Mt Rushmore. And if you want to see the Buffalo , go later in the afternoon or dusk. The kids saw none when they went early morning, but HERDS later in the day😉

Beautiful views
This property worked really well for our multifamily group of 10. We had lots of space to spread out and the views of the lake and wildlife were great. It was especially nice when the horses were hanging out in the pasture across the road. The location was great, right by Custer State Park.

Cute, cozy
Very cute cozy place to stay! They have Almost anything you need for the kitchen! Loved having access to 2 washer and dryer sets for clothes, because with kids things happen and it helped lessen the amount of dirty laundry we brought home. Ladies, we all know what the laundry situation is when we get back from vacation! Loved the location with it being so close to Custer state park. We saw wildlife in the mornings and evenings, the fire pit area is great for campfires! Would stay here again. Joy was absolutely wonderful to work with!!

Sturgis Motorcycle Trip
The overall experience with the property itself was very good. The location is not ideal for motorcycles because you have to drive on a dirt/stone road to get to the property and the parking is not the best. The only complaint with the house is the steps leading to the basement. They are shorter than normal and have a very steep incline. The location itself is beautiful, set back in a valley overlooking a field. Wildlife (deer, turkey, elk, geese and horses) all around you. In the evening you could hear the coyotes talking back and forth. I would rent this place again, however, I would not do it for Sturgis Bike week. The owners were very responsive (answered in minutes) when we needed something.

The best for large families!
We stayed at the Little Brown House while on a family vacation. We had 5 kids, 4 and under, and 8 adults. We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy each other. We loved that the house was stocked with all the essentials as if it was our own! Plus the outdoor space was beautiful! We were even greeted a few times by the horses nearby! Definitely recommend this space for large groups.

Great for a family reunion
All of my relatives had bedrooms of their own choosing. Very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed being outdoors - both during the daytime and at the firepit in the evenings. Kitchen and cooking, and eating spaces were more than adequate. We did not watch TV because we were all so grateful to have a great time without it!

Peace and tranquility, yet centrally located to attractions!
The house is away from the hustle and bustle of Custer yet close enough for easy trips for groceries, restaurants, or shopping. The house is excellently located for quick access to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, and all of the scenic drives such as Needles Highway and Iron Mountain Road. The updates to the property are very well done - the 2 tv rooms are comfy and relaxing. While the back deck is private and has pastoral views, the front of the house is close to some other properties (houses) off Four Wheel Drive so there’s not too much privacy from the front of the house. Also, there was no dishwasher installed in the kitchen, although there was a dishwasher staged in the utility room that looked like it was ready to install, so just check with the owners on the status of a dishwasher if that is a must. Overall very tranquil setting with easy access to many local attractions. The updated bathrooms and living spaces are modern and well appointed. The outdoor fire pit area is relaxing and spacious.
