Wonderful property! Centrally located by so many great destinations. House up on the hill above the city of Custer so easy to get groceries, or stop by the great Mexican restaurant in town or quickly get to the main roads yet you feel very remote. Wrap around porch let us sit in the sun or shade any time of day!

This cabin was amazing! Exceeded all our expectations. Our kids ranged from 10 to 3 and they loved having all the room to explore and play. We saw deer roaming all the time. Great location! Close to Custer and the grocery store and close to many attractions. We brought our side by sides and loved the area. Everything worked great! The beds were so comfortable! The wrap around porch and hot tub were used every night. Highly recommend this property! Candace was great to work with. She responded to any questions immediately. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We will be back!

We came here for my 40th birthday and it was perfect! Cute cabin with wilderness feel yet close to town- we had a campfire one night and it was amazing to star gaze.very nice that the lower level is another living space since we had a bigger group. Coffee on the wrap around deck watching a deer and her fawn was definitely a highlight!

The setting among the Pines and boulders was perfect. Every day we were visited by deer and turkeys. The boys enjoyed the hot tub and outside fire setting. The location was easily accessible to Mt. Rushmore, Hill City 1880 Train, Wind Cave NP and especially Custer SP.Correspondence with the owner was wonderful.

We had had 6 adults and 4 kids here plus a son and daughter (with dogs) at another property hang out as well. It had everything we needed. Bathrooms were nice, the bedrooms were good. There were a lot of different hang out areas inside and out. We loved the fire pit, hammocks and hot tube. The property was large so we also had yard golf set up. It's only 3 minutes from downtown Custer, but we felt really secluded. We are talking about going back.

Needles Nest was perfect for our family. We had 6 adults and 6 children and there was plenty of room for all of us. We enjoyed the fire pit, the hot tub and the wrap around deck as well as the hammocks. It was so well equipped for anything you might need. We were visited by deer and turkeys day. Truly feels like you are in the forest with a road taking you to downtown Custer just a few blocks away.

This property was perfect for us. It was well stocked with everything you could need and had lots of thoughtful touches such as a welcome basket, coozies and treats! My 3 year old grandson loved running around the spacious wrap around deck and running in the yard. He also loved all of the toys provided. There is a beautiful area for a bon fire, but the conditions were too dry to have one. There were 8 of us but room for more if your group is bigger. I highly recommend.

Everything about this property was amazing and just as described online. We were in Rapid City for Nationals Tumbling and want to spend a couple days visiting the area. Needles Nest was located close to the thi gs we wa.ted to see and do. Then at night we came back and enjoyed the hottub and relaxing on the property. The house came with all the necessities (except Kleenex) for our stay. Everythi g was explained in the book and with the nice placards placed around the house. You cant go wro g stayi g here. Candace was always responsive with her replies to my questions. Thank you for your home

We had a great time over our 5 day stay. The 5 bedrooms was great for us as all the adults and kids had their own rooms. Beds were comfy and on the soft side so if you prefer a firm bed just a warning, but we enjoyed them. We had deer around every morning and throughout the day. Even had a group of turkeys wander through one afternoon. Had a nice Weber grill for cooking and the wrap around deck is wonderful.

The location was perfect for easy access to so many locations. The owner was very easy to communicate with and responded immediately. Pleanty of bedrooms with comfortable beds. It was nice to have plenty of towels for the bathroom and hot tub! Lots of space for groups if you had a larger # of people. We could have walked into Custer for dinner or shopping as it was located very close to town yet seemed more rural. Well supplied with extras throughout. If you are looking in the area i would recommend it.

We loved our stay at Needles Nest! It was perfect for our 2 families, one on each level of the home. We never felt cramped! The house is right in the town of Custer, but feels like miles out of town. We had deer in the yard every day and the kids loved tossing carrots out for them to munch on! Super close to Custer State park, Sylvan Lake, Wildlife loop, Mount Rushmore, and so much more! Stay here! You won’t regret it!

There is a beautiful area for a bon fire, but the conditions were too dry to have one. There were 8 of us but room for more if your group is bigger. I highly recommend.

Wonderful property! Centrally located by so many great destinations. House up on the hill above the city of Custer so easy to get groceries, or stop by the great Mexican restaurant in town or quickly get to the main roads yet you feel very remote. Wrap around porch let us sit in the sun or shade any time of day!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. We will be back!
This cabin was amazing! Exceeded all our expectations. Our kids ranged from 10 to 3 and they loved having all the room to explore and play. We saw deer roaming all the time. Great location! Close to Custer and the grocery store and close to many attractions. We brought our side by sides and loved the area. Everything worked great! The beds were so comfortable! The wrap around porch and hot tub were used every night. Highly recommend this property! Candace was great to work with. She responded to any questions immediately. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We will be back!

The setting among the Pines and boulders was perfect. Every day we were visited by deer and turkeys. The boys enjoyed the hot tub and outside fire setting. The location was easily accessible to Mt. Rushmore, Hill City 1880 Train, Wind Cave NP and especially Custer SP.Correspondence with the owner was wonderful.

We enjoyed our Vrbo and it was a beautiful house. We were always greated by a mom and 2 baby deer in the mornings and evenings on the property. It was a great location, it was still close to town but secluded. Also very centrally located to all the places we visited!

We had had 6 adults and 4 kids here plus a son and daughter (with dogs) at another property hang out as well. It had everything we needed. Bathrooms were nice, the bedrooms were good. There were a lot of different hang out areas inside and out. We loved the fire pit, hammocks and hot tube. The property was large so we also had yard golf set up. It's only 3 minutes from downtown Custer, but we felt really secluded. We are talking about going back.

Needles Nest was perfect for our family. We had 6 adults and 6 children and there was plenty of room for all of us. We enjoyed the fire pit, the hot tub and the wrap around deck as well as the hammocks. It was so well equipped for anything you might need. We were visited by deer and turkeys day. Truly feels like you are in the forest with a road taking you to downtown Custer just a few blocks away.

Excellent stay! Candace was an excellent and accommodating host. Everything was as described and more! The location is on the heart of all attractions. We were within 45 minutes of everything. The home was updated and spacious. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for a wonderful location for our trip!

The location was perfect for easy access to so many locations. The owner was very easy to communicate with and responded immediately. Pleanty of bedrooms with comfortable beds. It was nice to have plenty of towels for the bathroom and hot tub! Lots of space for groups if you had a larger # of people. We could have walked into Custer for dinner or shopping as it was located very close to town yet seemed more rural. Well supplied with extras throughout. If you are looking in the area i would recommend it.

Hot tub was great and we were able to pack in so many fun activities for our family ranging in ages from 12 to 71.

We really enjoyed the central location of Custer, and the house was so warm and cozy in the Black Hills during the last of November! The kids were in the hot tub outside when the temperature was 18F degrees!
