NICE LOCATION
Overall a very enjoyable stay. Location in Custer was excellent to area activities. There were some areas of the home that were in need of repair and looked like they had been this way for sometime. Nice home for a larger group.

Wonderful Historic Cabin
It was a beautiful Cabin rural yet close to downtown Custer. Tea or coffee in the morning on the dexk overlooking the Bulls was an add benefit.

Relaxing Stay
We were in Custer for our daughter’s wedding and several family members stayed with us. Hosts were very accommodating and the banana bread and cookies were delicious! Had plenty room for everyone and it was very relaxing. Would definitely stay there again.

Homey and Relaxing
A group of 6 of us stayed in the cabin for 4 nights and found it delightful. It was clean and comfortable. The (2) porches were amazing places to sit and relax with a cup of coffee. We grilled out one evening on the BBQ grill and ate outside. Perfect setting!!!

A perfect spot
This was our second visit to Custer and we loved this house's proximity to town, the state park, and other destinations. The interior is spacious and very well taken care of. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were updated, decks were gorgeous. Lots of beautiful outdoor space for the kids to run around and climb on rocks. There was some road noise when sitting on the side deck especially, but for us the trade-off of being so close to town was worth it.

Relaxing home base
Our family loved staying at the Blessing home. There was enough room for everyone to spread out and relax after adventuring all day. The location was central to everything we wanted to see and do. Very clean and well maintained. There were books and games if we wanted to use them. Every kitchen utensil/appliance we needed was available. The host is amazing! We loved this stay and hope to be back in the future!

Nice stay!
Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay, with nice accommodations and plenty of space to spread out. A few things would improve the stay - a fan in every room or better yet window air conditioning units since the swamp coolers didn't function properly. Also, a mirror in every room would be appreciated. The washing machine put tiny holes in a couple of new shirts that were washed in it, so check that out. Thanks for plenty of dishes and pans. You do need to replace one of the frying pans since the handle is about to come off, and the carbon monoxide is outdated and needs to be replaced, as well. Addressing these items will improve the stay for future guests. Thank you for sharing your lovely place with us!

Location was perfect except that it’s so close to the highway. Lots of noise. Had to sleep with windows open as there is no air conditioning. Perfect for families. Lots of space. Clean. Everything you’d need to stay was available.

A lovely place for a group in the Southern Hills
This was a great place for my family of 6 to have ample space for fun and relaxation. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The location is just outside of Custer, which made driving around very convenient. The trade off is some highway noise, which was only noticeable when we were on the deck. As a bonus, it was nice to have the Mickelson trail so close. We would definitely stay here again.

Fun in the Black Hills
It was an amazing. Fresh baked goodies greeted us when we came in. Anything we could have needed was available. We cooked and barbecue everyday. It was so convenient as a cental location to take day trips to Custer State Park, Mt Rushmore and the 1800s Train! We'll definitely be back.

Family Reunion
Perfect! Each family had their own rooms, bed numbers fit us exactly. Ample parking, fire pit was great and kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. We want to make this an annual trip to this same house! Kids loved the rocks to climb and enjoyed "Martin" the Marmet when he showed up. Even the cows were friendly! Host was a dear.

Excellent stay and location. FYI - there is air conditioning on the main level but not upstairs bedrooms, however it does cool off at night and having the windows open really brought the temps down and it was very comfortable (in June) Host was very welcoming and friendly - would highly recommend staying here!

Great cabin in a beautiful area!
Had a great time at this cabin. Loved the outdoor area, just wish it wasn’t so close to the main road. They had fun outdoor and indoor games for the kids, the kitchen had just about everything you would need. Cheryl was friendly and gave us a full tour of the cabin when checking in. Great place for a large group.

Loving Custer!
We were in Custer for a wedding as well as visiting local attractions. The house was so perfect-spacious, well maintained and in a great location for all our needs. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to enjoy the property! Would definitely recommend if you have large family/friends who need a place to spread out, it had everything! PS: the cookies and banana bread were a definite unexpected treat!

We stayed at this property for a family reunion. It was the perfect size for our family. Beautiful location, comfortable furnishings. Owners were easy to communicate with. I really appreciated that the owners let us know upfront that the week we booked was the Sturgis motorcycle rally. We decided to keep it booked anyway and have no regrets. Would stay here again!

If you are in Mt Rushmore, this is the place to stay. It is very close to crazy horse, custer state park and Mt Rushmore memorial park. Host Cherly and her husband are exceptionally amazing host.
