Amazing Cabin on 15 Acres of Woods Custer State Park

The Laughin Place allows you to spend less of your precious family and vacation time driving and spend more of that precious time doing the things that matter. Right in the middle of it all, with easy access to highways and attractions, The Laughin' Place is a mile high, and is nearly surrounded by both the fabulous Custer State Park and the spectacular Black Hills National Forest. Both offer you easy access to hundreds and hundreds of acres of hiking, animal sighting, and exploring. So close to everything, yet so private.

Our cabin is a tri level home, very easy and comfortable. Much of it is finished in knotty pine, with a soaring slate chimney. The kitchen is updated with hickory cabinets, side by side refrigerator and glass top range. We have all the conveniences you'd expect at home. The loft looks out over the living room below, and features a door leading to its own private outdoor deck. The lower level features an impressive slate wall, a second kitchen, and walks out on to our lush yard.

Bathrooms remodeled and refreshed in 2021. Walk in showers in both bathrooms now, a nice update.

The main floor master bedroom has a king size TempurPedic bed. The loft has two twin beds and also a day bed with a trundle if you need it. The lower bedroom has a queen size bed and also a futon if desired. The lower level den has a full size pull out sofa.

Our expansive decks allow a person or two to relax with a quiet cup of coffee in the morning sun. Later on, you can watch the evening shadows fall, reliving your day with friends and family around the propane fire table.

The Laughin' Place is ideally located for your Black Hills vacation plans. Custer State Park is literally a stone's throw. Custer City is quick trip by car or an easy bike ride, coming and going. Outdoor fun abounds in every direction. Biking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, running and exploring.

Wedding in Custer
Wonderful place to stay. It was perfectly situated to where all our ventures were. Our daughter was in a wedding in Custer State park and it was a was a nice drive to and from the wedding venue. This VRBO was peaceful, quiet, and comfortable. The setting was great with all the comforts of home.

Beautiful home in the perfect location for exploring the Black Hills!
We had a great time and enjoyed the area. Location is close to all of the Black Hills attraction. The hosts made sure we had everything we would need for our stay. We realized on the road home that we had left an item behind. We let Brett and Lori know and they found the item and made sure it made its way back to us. Thank you for a great stay!

Great Location, but Communication with Property Owner was unpleasant
My husband, family, and friends enjoyed ourselves greatly until the very end. The location of this property was a perfect get-a-away. We spent most of our time outdoors, however, our children enjoyed playing games and spending time with family on the property. We started noticing items such as appliances such as the washing machine and coffee machine were broken. Then, we discovered under the blankets on the banister- every single column was not connected to the main banister. They easily fell apart after the blankets were removed by our children. Several attempts were made to reconnect the falling columns, but it was not something I felt I needed to fix. This could have been a dangerous situation if we had a toddler traveling with us. I contacted the owner about the broken appliances and the columns, but the owner later accused me of breaking his staircase after we left and were driving back to our home. I am horrified by the way the owner treated me and after I was trying to establish a positive relationship with hopes of staying again. I do not recommend this property-- not because of his home, even though he should have disclosed his items were broken, especially the staircase. I have saved the text messages and would be happy to share the poor exchanges between myself and the property owner.

Great house, fantastic location
The cabin is great. Every amenity you would want. The owners are very hands on and contact you before and during stay. The location is great. It borders Custer State park and Wind Cave NP, Jewel Cave NM, Crazy Horse memorial and Mt Rushmore are a short drive.

A True Gem
Our family loved it here. This place is so perfect as it is super secluded (literally surrounded by nature) yet so close to town. We saw so many deer on the property and the kids loved exploring the rocks. The actual house was so much nicer than the pictures give credit. My three boys stayed in the loft and there was so much room. We barely even used the lower level. The location of the property was super central to all the things we wanted to do.. explore the national parks, ATV, Mount Rushmore, boating Pactola. Custer was our favorite town. It’s less touristy and had some great shops and restaurants. Beggin Burro, Custer Beacon and Baker’s Bakery were our favorite . Horatio’s Ice Cream parlor is also delicious. The owner was super responsive, checked in with us and gave some recommendations.
