The Little Joy cabin was just what we needed for our stay in Custer. We were able to relax in the peacefulness of the area yet stay close to town and attractions. It was clean and comfy. Communications with the host were great!

Overall very nice place to stay, we would stay again. We stayed for 5 nights and had a really nice view of the needles in Custer park. The dirt road they are located on leads right to the park so that's nice, we found that out by accident. The grills are charcoal so if you want to use it bring your own and same with firewood for the firepit, it's an orb like one and works really well especially for keeping sparks in. The only knock we would give is the shower is really tight, we're avg. size and my wife had to get out to lather up and go back in and rinse. There was plenty of room for our dogs to play. We used the sauna 1 night it's nice, they keep it hot all the time so it's ready when you are.
