HEAVEN. Cabin Lovers, you don't need to search any further for the most amazing cabin experience. There is no "LOBBY" so please call the owners to arrange reservations and entry if you find yourself nearby or if you are planning your trip. The 5 acre property is Stunningly Beautiful, Peaceful and Secluded while being just minutes away from the Crazy Horse Memorial, Mt Rushmore and the Town of Custer. The cabins are CLEAN and sturdy, built in 1933 and the fascinating story of who built them with pictures and history adorn the walls of both cabins. There are two cabins; the larger one, "Skyview" has 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and sleeps 13 (or more if sofa bed or cribs are used), the smaller one "Pinecrest" has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, sleeping 7 (not including sofa bed or cribs). Either one would be wonderful for a Romantic Getaway for 2 or for a Family or large group. Both have FULLY stocked kitchens (the large cabin has complete service for 20)! In each cabin you will find gorgeous hand-hewn large wood beam log construction, a wood-burning fireplace, comfortable beds & furniture, working antique radios, benches and tables made by the builder of the cabins, clothes Washer/Dryer, extra blankets and pillows, lots of towels, authentic western art and decor and FREE WIFI. Outside, both cabins have their own quality gas grills and wood-burning fire pits. The owners provide stacks and stacks of aged, split firewood and only ask for a donation if you use some. There is an expansive lawn of the softest prairie grass my bare feet ever felt. The land is geographically very interesting with a cluster of Ponderosa Pines atop a sudden, jutting section of slate and massive boulders. The sound of the wind through the pines, the Aspen tree grove and the waving prairie grass completes the perfect picture of total happiness that this property afforded my mother and I on our vacation in June 2017 while my boys were at the Medicine Mountain Boy Scout Camp nearby. We plan to return at every opportunity and are looking forward to celebrating my Mom's 80th birthday there in 3 years with the entire family. The owners, Teresa and Vic are very kind, wonderful people and I could tell by the details and decorating and care that these cabins are LOVED. Do NOT let an opportunity to stay here pass you by! I am nearly 50 and have been a cabin/cottage person all of my life when I travel and I've traveled many states extensively including my home state of Colorado and I have never found anywhere that will ever hold a candle to Camp Custer Log Cabins!!! read more

Just returned from a wonderful trip where we spent several days at Pine Crest at Camp Custer Log Cabins. The location is great, a few minutes away from Crazy Horse, central location to all of the attractions in the Black Hills. The cabin is cozy, has all of the amenities you could need for a great stay. No tv, no problem, we didn't miss it at all. The gal who owns the place is great, she made us feel very welcome and was available if we needed her for anything, which we didn't but it was nice that she was willing. Why not 5 stars? Little bitty things that could use some attention throughout the cabin, such as the shower. The shower is clean, roomy, there's a nice tub if you have kids that want a bath, but, the lever that you pull up to make the water come out of the shower head has a problem where it pushes itself down and then the water is coming out of the main tub faucet instead of the shower head. And there's sort of a problem with flies in the cabin. Could be seasonal, I don't know, but it was hard to keep up with fly control such as swatting them or even sucking them up in the vacum to get rid of them. The last thing we would say is a minor issue is the very bright light in the yard. It tends to take away from the star gazing and general feeling of being out in the middle of nowhere. All in all, we would highly recommend the cabin to anyone looking for an accomodation in Custer and we would most definitely stay there again ourselves if the opportunity presented itself. read more
