We are happy to share The Green Door Cottage with you! My father restored and completely renovated this house from head to toe in 2017. He owned the local hardware store for 35 years and has designed several hundred of the nicest homes in the Black Hills.
Great location for visitors to be able to walk to our downtown area. Good mix of local families and vacation rentals in the neighborhood.

Our home is located right on Mt. Rushmore Road, which is the main street of Custer. We're about 2-3 blocks west of all the restaurants and shops.

Clean, Cozy and Convenient
Our family of five very much enjoyed our fall getaway to Custer. The cabin was exactly as pictured. It is cute up north cabin theme. It was extremely clean and everything was neat and in working order. Host was responsive, informative and lovely to connect with. Pride and love for the community and property was evident. We loved being able to easily walk to great meals - even in the off season. Totally recommend visiting in the fall. It was quiet and beautiful. Thanks for a great trip and many family memories.

The online pictures are very accurate and the home is literally just a block or two from the main hub of shops and restaurants. Recommend eateries were spot on; especially the breakfast and pie/dessert places. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Green Door Cottage is cozy, charmingly decorated, comfortable and well equipped. It has all you need for cooking. The living room was a comfortable gathering space for the 4 of us. We used the electric fireplace for the ambience and for a little bit of heat on the chilly mornings. There is a large TV with ROKU (which we did not use). The hosts are friendly and very responsive. The location is PERFECT for walking to dinner and shops in Custer and day tripping to Mt. Rushmore, and Custer State Park. I highly recommend driving the Wildlife Loop, Needles Highway, and the Iron Mountain Road (start from the south near the Custer State Park visitor center for a great distance view of the presidents). We enjoyed the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, an active paleontological dig site. Sauce and Dough pizza was very good and Skogen Kitchen was excellent (needs reservations). Don't hesitate to book Green Door Cottage!

An Excellent Adventure!
This home was perfect in so many ways. It is in the heart of Custer City but very private. The house sits on the upside of the street on an elevator that allows you to keep the window shades open and enjoy the outside deck with total privacy. We had everything we needed for a week. The amenities are well maintained and great quality. We look forward to staying here again soon.

Convenient home in the center of Custer.
Everything went smoothly with our stay at this home. Check-in was quick and easy. Check-out was done with minimal effort, which got us on the road home earlier than expected. We were able to walk to several restaurants and the shops in the center of Custer. The bedrooms were perfect and the beds were comfortable. Despite the temperature almost reaching 100 degrees, the house was comfortable. Would like to stay there again when we go back to the Black Hills.

Cute little cottage. Great location. Centrally Located. Supplies were sufficient as indicated. Note to future guests- it is a pretty hilly area, so be prepared for that. Steps up into the cottage so could be an issue if knee problems. Could have been a little cleaner. Wet runner just thrown out on back deck. Kitchen and bath floors sticky. Kitchen was very disorganized with lots of mis-match stuff. The downstairs "bar area" was beyond sketchy! It is just a dark basement, but the cash register was cool. LIGHTS/REMOTE - I did text the owner and let him know that there were 10 lightbulbs burned out and none of the remotes worked. We did replace 6 necessary light bulbs and batteries in one of the remotes. With a deep clean and some organization, I would stay again.

First Time to South Dakota
This was our first visit to South Dakota. My son and his family met us in Rapid City where we rented a car to head to Custer. This house was the perfect location! My son and his wife were able to walk into town at night to listen to music and get a drink while I watched the grandkids! All of us could walk downtown to breakfast or dinner. It was a great little town that had something for all of us. The house was perfect. We had 8 people and slept comfortably. We were able to cook and eat in when we wanted because it was stocked with all the proper cooking items. We were also able to wash clothes with the washer and dryer which was perfect with little kids. I was excited that the bathrooms had walk-in showers. We had my Dad and I didn't want him to fall, so this was a great amenity. The house was clean which is the first thing we all noticed, and it is important to us because we have two family members who are OCD. The house had a cute basement which would have been perfect for watching football if we visited during the Fall, but the location was so perfect that we spent most of our time outside. I was able to take the grandkids to the park just up the street to play on the swings before turning in at night after a day of adventure. The owner had plenty of literature for us to review that helped us plan our week. There was still so much to see that I know we will be back and this house will definitely be used again!

Great Location and Property
This was one of our best VRBO properties. The house was very clean, comfortable and extremely well supplied ( including toiletries and games) for a family of 4 adults and one child. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Adam, the owner was very attentive and communicated frequently before, during and after our stay. The location is perfect for exploring the Black Hills. All restaurants were within walking distance and Custer is a pleasant town. I would highly recommend this property for up to six people. We hope to stay here again on our next visit.

Perfectly located for everything in the Black Hills
We had 5 adults stay here for a wedding in Custer State Park. This was close to everything in town as well as all the major tourist attractions in the area. The house was clean with everything you could need while staying there. The only thing we thought it could use was more/brighter lighting, but it didn’t deter us from a great stay. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Perfect Home Base for Black Hills Adventure
The Green Door cottage was the perfect choice for our visit to SD. Custer is a delightful town and is located close to Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, the Crazy Horse Memorial and Custer State Park. It was easy to explore the entire area from the cottage. We could walk to main street shops and restaurants. The home was VERY clean and VERY comfortable. We cooked in a couple of evenings and had all we needed including a nice grill. Highly recommend.
