Super cute, cozy and very clean. The perfect little cabin minutes away from everything! We loved sitting outside by the fireplace watching the stars and listening to the wind rustling through the pine trees. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Buck Horn Lookout and look forward to staying there again in the near future.

Quaint cabin near Crazy Horse
This property is as listed and was exactly what I was looking for. It is small, which was fine since I was traveling alone, and it would probably have been just fine if my spouse would have been traveling with me. Communication with the owner was prompt and informative. I was very comfortable staying here.

Nice little cabin
Nice cabin in the woods with wildlife to watch. Didn't have an ac and it got hot during my stay after the 1st night i asked for an ac and they got a window unit in within a few hours. Got locked out and the manager took care of that quickly. I would stay again.

Cozy and Quiet
Conveniently located within 6 blocks of downtown Custer where you can buy groceries and see attractions. The cabin is in a semi-private wooded area. We cooked steaks on the electric grill and made potatoes and corn in the microwave. Coffeemaker, coffee and condiments provided; outdoor seating to enjoy a your morning cup. Cool mountain breezes kept us dry and comfortable on a 80 degree day. Great value compared to other lodging options! We get safe and secure our entire visit.

Visiting the Area
This little cabin was perfect as our home base while we explored the area. It is close to many of the popular attractions and has restaurants and shops very close by. Everything you need. There is no AC but the evenings cool down and with the windows open it is very comfortable.

Very small but comfortable cabin in a great location. Minutes to Casper, but in a quiet, rural spot. Very convenient location for touring the State Park, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Hall.
