Beautiful Black Hills property with access to the Mickelson Trail

Enjoy all that the Black Hills has to offer by day and then tuck yourself away in this quite little home at night. Newly remodeled one bed, one bath apartment/duplex on close to two acres. The home sits in a valley on the north side of Custer. Out the back door is a small creek and access to the Mickelson Trail. Across the trail is a lovely view of Forest Service land.
If you are lucky you will catch a glimpse of deer and wild turkey that inhabit the area.

I loved the quiet, safe area. The kitchen was great, allowing us to prepare most of our meals. The bed was very comfortable. We walked on the nearby trail which was nice. The dining table chairs need to be upgraded and it would have been nice to have cable TV, but this is certainly not a big deal.

Only one bed
This unit has only one bed! It advertises a couch that makes up into a bed, but that is not true. The living room couch is just a couch, not a bed!. Also the living room floor is very sticky around the fireplace. There is no protection on the floor, some sparks or ashes have melted some spots in the vinyl floor. I will not return!

Cozy and Perfect Little Place Away From Home
Such a cozy little place away from home. Beautiful backyard view every morning while having your coffee. Quiet setting. And got to see and feed deer on the property. Comfortable bed and pillows. And to top it off, the property manager was so wonderful to communicate with. Loved staying here!

Rustic home with beautiful sights close by
We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful scenery right out the back door. Fun having the Mickelson trail right out back. We enjoyed seeing the deer. The bed was very comfortable. The only thing is no air conditioning, which was really only needed one of our days. House is rustic, but comfortable.

Great location, marginal home
Beautiful location, the house is sparsely furnished with cheap furniture and fixtures. It worked as a place to sleep after a busy day. There was absolutely no comfort, so we spent a very limited amount of time there…sleep and shower

Cozy Spot Right Off the Trail
My friend and I met Dan right away and he was very nice. The apartment has a lot of potential. It's a cozy spot for any vacationers. There is another review that lists a few drawbacks that we agree with, especially the bathroom door that is too long to glide smoothly on the rail, but it was a nice place to lay our head for our stay. There was some disappointment that there was a TV but no programming. Vacation is nice to get away and unplug, but my friend is not a reader and I felt like I had to entertain her as we had nothing to do otherwise in our down time. The windows didn't have coverings/curtains, which bothered my security-minded friend, who slept on the futon. I have various food allergies, so cooked in the kitchen and it was nicely equipped with the essentials. However, there were some towels left behind that in these times I didn't care for. The view out the backdoor was beautiful and overall the spot was peaceful. Dan strikes me as a man who will be prompt in meeting any needs to make your stay comfortable and takes pride in his property.

Clean, Cute, Friendly
Dan was friendly and helpful in getting us settled in and acquainted with the area. He suggested a burger place which ended up being a culinary highlight of our trip! The house is actually split into two units which we were not aware of (I didn’t see anything in the listing indicating that it was a shared space). The remodel is cute but definitely lower-end, meaning it lacks some basic ideal things like solid bedroom and bathroom doors. The deadbolts didn’t lock on at least one entry door (not aligned right), and the bedroom has a shared laundry access connecting the two apartments which had a broken lock—Dan was quick to fix it though, which was super. The space is small and cozy, but the bed is terribly uncomfortable and the futon was just as stiff. Not a place to relax comfortably. The rocker glider would have been nice, but I’d suggest newer cushions as it had a strong smell like it came from an old house. We slept horribly but enjoyed the backyard view of the Black Hills and walking the Mickelson Trail. Another big drawback was we could hear the neighboring unit, a big disappointment, but thankfully those guests were gone the day after we arrived for our 3 night stay. I would’ve been very annoyed with loud noise from the shared unit. So be advised, the pics show a whole house, but you get a roughly remodeled shared apartment with probably no insulation in the walls, leaving risk for a noisy and uncomfortable stay. The camping chairs left for our use were falling apart, so that was annoying. However, the quiet neighborhood, gorgeous property views, and firepit access with supplied paper and wood were superb and totally worth the sleep deprivation and neighbor noise for one night. They even had coffee and filtered water on hand, a nice touch. And again, Dan was great and we enjoyed meeting him and appreciated his prompt handling of the lock issue. I’d recommend it, if you’re not a light sleeper! Even if you are, it was totally worth 3 nights of awful sleep for a nice place to land at the end of the day of exploring the gorgeous town of Custer and the Black Hills!
