Cute cabin with lake views

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin, Trystin was very responsive with any questions that we had. Would stay here again if in the area. Very convenient to many of the local historical sites and parks.

Cozy

We came up for Spring Break and it had just snowed. The cabin had a snow shovel for us to use. The cabin was perfect for me and my daughters. Very cozy, wish we could have stayed longer. Due to the time of year it felt like we had the Black Hills all to ourselves. We did manage to lock ourselves out one evening, but the local sheriff arrived to make sure we were warm while waiting for someone to come unlock the door. We will be back!

Fun Property close to great activities

This property was super fun with lots of LOTR references. It was very close to Custer and Custer State Park and great to serve as a base. Facility was clean and sauna view was top notch. A warning - if you are over 6’-4”, note there is a fair amount of headbangers in the location and shower/door thresholds are low.

Quiet and cozy

Loved the location of the log cabin. It's right in the wilderness of Custer in the Black Hills National Forest. There's lots of windows for viewing the outside.
