My husband and I stayed at the moose cabin. It was just the place for us. It was small but really we didn’t spend a lot of time there. It had all we needed & it was clean. The bed was comfortable neither one of us complained about our nights sleep. It’s close to shops, restaurants & stores. The host was super nice, she stopped by to see if we needed anything. I would stay at the moose cabin again we were in the area.

Great little cabin!

Moose Cabin was a charming place to stay. It was clean, had everything we needed, and the bed was comfortable. The location was great! We were able to walk to dinner every evening and to the local grocery store. We were also right in the middle of all of the area attractions. Everything was so convenient. Crystal had her contact information posted on the cabin wall so we could easily reach her. Moose cabin was a great place to stay!

Cute Cabin

This tiny cabin was perfect for the few days that we had in the Custer area. It was close to several parks and very close to town. We enjoyed reading in the shared backyard during our down time. We would stay again next time we are in the area.

Not fancy, but adequate for our needs

Check in was easy. The place was small, but we were there to hike, so spent little time in the cabin. The bed and couch were comfy and shower had plenty of hot water. Kitchen had necessary items for cooking. We would stay here again.

Custer State Park Buffalo Round Up

Cozy cabin with everything you need for a stay. The touch less check-in was great since we arrived after midnight due to flight delays. This property is well kept and very clean. Convenient location enabled us to walk to restaurants in less than 5 minutes. Drive to Custer State Park for Buffalo Round Up was reasonable (Tip: North Viewing for the Round Up is excellent). You truly feel immersed in the Black Hills! Great stay.

Clean and comfortable. EZ check in. Excellent communication with Crystal! Good location overall. Easy access to nice hike up to tower overlooking Custer and hills. Well worth the hike! Close to downtown, but a little bit more of a walk than expected. But no complaints overall. 👍

Bedroom noisy when air conditioning ran, but bed comfortable. Could have had more light in bathroom, sort of dark. Other than that, clean and furnished very well.

Custer is a gem of a town

This property was just a couple blocks off Main St. Had it not been almost 100 degrees while there we would have walked everywhere. The property is well maintained and so many amenities were provided. The fire pit and grills were stocked. Crystal was just a text away if needed. We went with many suggestions from her guest book and were very pleased at the level of food and entertainment Custer had to offer. It is a little town that packs a punch. Definitely more than any of the other tourist towns we hit on our road trip to South Dakota. I would highly recommend her cabins and spending some time in downtown Custer.
