Absolutely beautiful!

This property is beautiful and the location is great. We enjoyed the juke box, sitting on the back porch watching the wildlife, grilling, and sitting by the fire pit on the deck. Would love to stay here again! We loved Custer state park and the downtown area. We saw all the sights with minimal driving. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, Quiet location

We loved this peaceful location on a beautiful acreage with pretty views! The home had everything we could have wanted for a quiet get away. Loved warming up by the toasty pellet stove. 5 minutes from superb restaurants too.

Great place in the country to unwind

Beautiful house on a peaceful and isolated piece of property. Only about ten minutes from town and close to all the Black Hills area attractions. Very well appointed, all the conveniences, great gas fireplace, stunning views and so quiet. Perfect for winding down, getting awY or as a home base for area fun.

We can't say enough good things about our stay at Whitetail Springs Ranch. The location is private, quiet and beautiful. The house is comfortable, very attractive and has everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. It's exactly what we'd hoped for. We will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful Property and Great Location!

We stayed here in order to be centrally located to the many parks and monuments South Dakota has to offer. We immediately felt at home the minute we arrived. The property is gorgeous and we enjoyed dinners on the deck, as well as watching the thunderstorms roll by. The house was comfortable and clean, and checking in and out was a breeze. The best part was how centrally located we were to National Parks and Monuments, Custer State Park, and we even ventured up to Devils Tower. We definitely would stay here again!

Cozy Cabin

Great property for a family getaway! My husband and I and our 2 kids enjoyed taking a week to just relax with no obligations. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the property. Kids enjoyed playing outside in the snow and we enjoyed lounging by the fireplace. It was close enough to Custer to still go in for groceries or have a meal out. It makes small town living very appealing. It's a nice place to chill out and unwind from the crazy pace of life!

Private, Quiet, and Cozy cabin

Whitetail Springs Ranch is exactly as advertised. It sits off a gravel road in a quiet wooded area, but just a few miles from downtown Custer. We saw deer every day on the ranch. The pinball machine and jukebox were a hit with our family. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We did have a couple issues (microwave wasn't working and WIFI was slow), but the owner was very quick to respond and both items were fixed promptly. You will not regret renting this property. It's perfectly located to everything the Black Hills has to offer.

Relax, breath and settle in...

We loved this location!! Custer is a small, but growing city...this house is close, but secluded. Every morning we had a view of deer in the yard, wild turkeys and a beautiful view of this property! We ate most meals on the deck and loved the daily visits of the mountain bluebirds and northern flickers. Beautiful location to establish as home base for day trips to the monuments, Custer National Park and other activities that include hot air ballooning, helicopter tours, horseback riding, atvs...almost anything you can think of!

STINKY SHEETS - Excellent Place- Pin Ball Wizard FUN!

What a magical special place. So convenient to Custer. The Pin Ball machine was such an awesome touch. The juke box was fun too. *There is no reason using HEAVY Perfume for laundry or cleaning. It does not make it a pleasant experience for many people. We all do not like the over the top perfume smell.

FANTASTIC!

More than we expected. The location is great. Only about 1.5 miles from Custer. The property is very secluded and private. Deer came right up to the house to eat. The managers stopped by making sure everything was ok and to drop off bottled water in case we didn't care for the well water. Very friendly. The house is decorated beautifully and spacious. Highly recommend.

Great location for visiting the Black Hills

This log cabin home is on a beautiful private property but only minutes from Custer State park and the town of Custer. The town has plenty of shops and restaurants and the state park and Black Hills are magnificent. The best features of this property are the location, privacy, the great porch. Shane the host was friendly and responsive and helped us out with a request. The beds, bathrooms and appliances were clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The cabin looks exactly as pictured on the website. There were a couple of very minor details that could use some attention and I feel the house overall could benefit from a thorough deep cleaning. But we really enjoyed our stay there.

Loved the 20 acre property and lovely deck

We had three couples and two of the bedroom options were really good but the third did not work for a 6 foot plus man and his wife. So they moved a mattress to the front sitting room and he slept there, which worked well but was not ideal. Otherwise, we loved the large sunny deck, lovely 20 acre property and had lots of fun with the jukebox.

Water Was Not Drinkable

This house is just okay. It is advertised as almost new, but it is more than likely about 15 years old. Now the big problem is with the water. The well do not function property, have dirt, mica, and who know what else. The owner is not honest about this, or we would have never rented. This has been reported to the State of South Dakota water quality, and until she gets the water fixed no one should be renting this house.

Secluded peaceful convenient

We are a married couple that stayed 8 nights at this property. 17 acres of quiet in a beautiful crafted log cabin. Whitetail deer watching every evening from the covered porch. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises. With that said property could use some attention. Landscaping & mowing could be better, a mowed path to white barn and pond would be nice. Broken old bureaus & cluttered closets were unusable. We adjusted and used spare bedroom bed as our closet/dressing room. Juke box and pinball machines did not work, but not a deal breaker, but they are advertised as working, so they should work. No pellets for pellet stove and pilot out on gas fireplace. We adjusted and used some candles for ambiance. Window sills full of dead flies and moths clearly not cleaned before our arrival. I cleaned them up so it wasn’t gross. Family room ceiling fan switch broken so could not shut it off. But ultimately when we adjusted & got past these things we were out all day and spent each evening on the porch, which was heavenly. Sleeping was peaceful. Location was perfectly located close to the town of Custer for restaurants, groceries and gas. Hill City not far off for more restaurants. All the sites were easily reached and even Devil’s Tower and the Badlands were further afield but doable. Would recommend strictly on location and beauty of the log construction but it really needs some love.
