What a fantastic place! Easily the most thoughtful host and most comfortable space we’ve rented. The location was perfect for all the things in the Black Hills. Super quiet, comfortable, and filled with all the comforts of home. Candace made the experience outstanding with recommendations and extra touches like homemade cookies and fresh flowers and eggs. If we could give this 10 stars, we would!

Cozy and Comfortable
We loved staying at the Hillside Hideaway. It was cozy, comfortable and well-supplied, also very clean with extra amenities like extra jackets if we needed them, towels, blankets and pillows. Our host was easy to contact if we had any questions. The outside area was well-lit for when we came home after dark. We would stay there again if when are every back in the Hills.

Absolutely beautiful little cabin - everything was spotlessly clean and plenty stocked up for our stay. Candace has an absolutely adorable little table of goods you can buy that feature her property (hats, tumblrs, etc) and the funds go to charity if you choose to purchase. The property is very conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Custer, and less than 30 minute drive to the Wildlife Loop entrance of Custer State Park, as well as Mt. Rushmore. Candace also checked in on us a couple times to make sure everything was good with our stay. 5/5 stars all the way around!

Charming and Very Comfortable Unit
Owner lives above unit and obviously takes great pride and care to make sure the unit is well equipped and furnished. Many small and thoughtful touches throughout the unit. Owner was always available if we needed anything. Location was great for exploring the Black Hills and Custer State Park areas. We would definitely recommend this unit and would consider renting again if we return to the area.

Great getaway guesthouse
We arrived to a perfect and lovely setting for two. The space was just right for us and had everything we needed and then some. Candace has really thought of everything! The location is exacly what we were hoping for, private but within walking distance from town. We were thrilled when she offered some pointers to help us find the buffalo at Custer State Park. Will stay again!!

Candace and her property are wonderful!! She has thought of every comfort to make the stay welcoming, cozy and relaxing. She even had fresh eggs and fruit waiting for us in addition to yummy snacks. She truly is an amazing host. The property and surrounding area was very quiet and yet minutes walk or drive away from downtown Custer. Her recommendations for places to visit, eateries, shops and sites in the area were spot on and did not disappoint! We will definitely be back to stay with Candace.

Our best VRBO rental EVER
We absolutely loved staying in this rental and Candace has thought of everything. First off it was so clean. The thoughtful touches like free range chicken eggs and butter left in the refrigerator. The basket of snack goodies was also so appreciated. Having the laundry really helped us out with less packing for a two week vacation. A huge highlight was the Doe and their fawns all throughout the area. We would drive the streets in the evening just to see the deer. They do come right up in the yard of the rental but it did not happen when we were there. Candace is a super nice lady to visit with and she even so very kindly gave me a bouquet of flowers in celebration of my one year cancer free anniversary while we were there. Thank you Candace for everything. Your place truly is the best we have ever rented in all of our travels. Thank you again. Carol and Michael

Wonderful apartment! Charming from the moment we parked our car. We chose to stay in Custer for its proximity to the state park and absolutely loved our 4 nights in this town. Several great restaurants, coffee, ice cream, etc. within walking distance from this comfortable, clean, and quiet home base. It had every thing we needed and we were happy to return to its welcoming vibes each evening. Deer grazed daily in the grass on the hillside near the driveway. Wonderful communication from owner. It’s the best Vrbo we’ve rented, hands down.

Superb Accomodations
If you are looking for a lovely and spacious home away from home, this is it! Candace, our host, has thought of EVERYTHING you could possibly need in this clean, quiet, cozy, comfy, well-equipped, and well maintained apartment. It was a pleasure to chat in person with Candace and our communication from start to finish was easy with quick response. The bed was comfortable, the views great, the washer and dryer a very nice convenience, etc. The area is so amazing with much to see and do. Oh, the many pictures we now have to help us remember the wildlife, rock formations, scenic drives, attractions which are too numerous to name! You will not regret your stay at Hillside Hideaway and your visit to Custer and surrounding area. Our best accomodations in MANY years of travel.

We stayed for 5 nights. Wish it would have been for longer. The property location is ideal. Convenient to everything Custer has to offer yet you feel like your away from it all.
