We try to get to Custer every couple of years. This house was great - lots of room and very comfortable. We had a couple of rainy days this year so it was nice to have the extra space to spread out. Oatin was a great host and proactive in reaching out to us. The older kids like walking around downtown Custer and this was a great location, just a couple of blocks off the main strip, but still very quiet. We were surprised that there was actually a nice view off the front porch of the big CUSTER sign and some of the mountains towards the east side of town.

We lived this wonderful house with lots of space to stretch out and hang with family. Used the BBQ and the pool table - our cousins loved the porch swing and the big kitchen. Great for our family getaway!

Great location for spending a few days in Custer State Park and the surrounding area. Central to Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave and Jewel Cave. Make reservations for the cave tours early!! The kids enjoyed swimming at the YMCA pool next door. The master suite is isolated and provides some quiet and privacy from kids playing in the basement. Kids were disappointed that the WiFi didn’t work but the parents didn’t mind so much. 😉 Our host Oatin was very responsive and helpful.

Evolve was a smartphone only communication. I made the reservation from my desktop. Paid online. Fine, evolve required an app and sign-in that I was not able to comply with. Again, my computer is my desktop. It is not available when I'm traveling. The host took care of things and evolve was on.y useful as the listing agent. OH, I did call evolve customer support..... I'm 7 4 years old and could not understand a thing the foreign accent , (who was so sorry!) tried to communicate. Custer House YES! evolve... only if you want to do it with a cell phone
