Suggested Itinerary: Since you'll be staying at Bison Pines VRBO, just south of Custer, you have an excellent home base. It's about 20–30 minutes from Wind Cave National Park and Custer State Park, making it ideal for exploring the southern and central Black Hills while still being within day-trip distance of the Badlands and Devils Tower.

Here's how I'd organize each itinerary to minimize backtracking.

Peaceful retreat in South Dakota

We had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful surroundings and wildlife. The hosts are amazing and we had a great time visiting with them. Close enough to Custer State Park to drive in every day to see and enjoy the sites in the Black Hills area and come back for a relaxing evening.
Beautiful sunset

This stay was by far my favorite place. It had all the amenities you could think of. The host was very nice and accommodating. I would 100 % stay there again and my family agrees. My only bad comment was that i couldnt have my senior small, non shedding dog with me. I'm guessing its because of the hosts dog on the property...which i do understand. It was just a bummer i couldnt have my sweet girl with me.
