Great place to stay!

We had a great stay at the Cabin at Dakota Dreams. It is located just outside of Custer but offers incredible privacy. From this location you can get to everything offered in the Black Hills. Mackenzie is a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome to the property. The cabin itself is perfect and we will stay there again when we visit the area. It is appointed and built like a true western cabin but with all the comforts you may desire. My wife and I highly recommend it for your trip to the Black Hills.

Quite cabin in a great location

The cabin was in a great location for us. It was just a few minutes from Custer State Park and downtown Custer. We had some issues working the TV, but that may have been operator error. We also would have liked some ice cube trays, but other than that it was great.

Convenient to everything

We wanted somewhere to stay during our time in Custer that was clean, quiet and comfortable. We found the perfect place. Nestled in the pine trees was Dakota Dream. 5 minutes to beautiful downtown Custer with many choices of food, grocery needs and souvenir shopping. A short hop to Mt Rushmore for the nighttime ceremony, a short hop to Custer State Park, Crazy Horse and many other wonderful activities. This cabin is peaceful and quiet. Deer visit several times a day and you can hear the wind whistling thru the pines. You will not be disappointed in your selection of Mackenzie and Maddies property.

Perfect Location

My husband and I needed a place to call ‘home’ for our adventure through South Dakota. We did not spend much time at the cabin, but it was perfect. Clean cabin, internet TV for our mornings, stove, full stocked kitchen with supplies, gracious hostess, and it was perfect for our home base throughout our stay in South Dakota. Thanks again, Mackenzie! It was perfect.

Great place to stay

We had a great time at the cabin. Mackenzie is very friendly and checked on us a couple of times to make sure everything was ok. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the deer, turkeys and her horse. She provided some corn for us to feed the deer. We had a pleasant surprise of an early snowstorm and the cabin stayed nice and warm. The cabin is on a well maintained dirt road. We can't wait to stay here again.

The best place to be in South Dakota

To start with, Mackenzie and her daughter are the best hosts anyone could ever ask for. The cabin was very nice, deer and turkey in the yard morning and evening. We had everything we needed and it's situated just far enough from town that it was very quiet and peaceful. Especially being as we were there during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Sitting outside in the evening under the stars and able to see the Milkyway in all it's glory, made for some fantastic astrophotography images. We highly recommend a stay at Dakota Dreams B&B. You won't be disappointed at all. Thank you Mackenzie for a excellent time.
