Awesome place and awesome host!
We had an awesome time that was beyond our expectations. This place is beautiful and is in a perfect location to visit everything in the Black Hills. Margaret and Derito go out of their way to make you feel like family. They are very special people and we really enjoyed this beautiful place and getting to know these awesome people. We hope to come again someday and would recommend this place to anyone. Great trip!

Relaxed
Terrific getaway for the family. Everything was low key which was perfect. The scerene wooded hills and the valley, comfortable chairs by the pond, and the clear night skies from the hot tub where we've never seen so many stars will be the things we remember most from this trip. Visits from the host's cat and dog, many rounds of 8-Ball on the nice pool table, and the very comfortable living conditions of the basement also leave their mark. The hosts are extremely sweet and accommodating, even stopping by with some well received brownies and ice cream. Love the property and highly recommend!

The best part of an amazing vacation!
Our family absolutely loved staying at Custer Camp. Margaret and Derito are very gracious and it was a pleasure to meet them. The home and property are so beautiful and perfect, like out of a painting. The trout pond is incredible and the home is clean and fun with plenty to do inside and out. We wished we could stay another week just to hang out at the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Bonicelli

Host profile image
We are outdoor enthusiasts, foodies and outgoing people. We LOVE the beautiful Black Hills, and love sharing our home and our gorgeous area with friends - new & old! We love to travel and have found many wonderful vacation properties through VRBO, and have made many new friends through VRBO as well.

Why they chose this property

The Black Hills area is nick-named "God's Country" for a reason…there is nowhere as beautiful and pristine! There is so much to do winter, spring, summer and fall! Located on 40 acres, Custer Camp 1874 is perfectly designed to be quiet and relaxing, while providing the ideal base location for exploring and enjoying the Black Hills. Just 25 miles west of Rapid City and only 12.5 miles south of Interstate 90, it is easily accessible by air or by car/vehicle. Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park are not-to-be-missed stops. Deadwood and Lead with their rich history, skiing, snowmobiling and gambling are just minutes away. Fishing in our spring-fed trout pond and stargazing from the hot tub are always highlights for our visitors!

What makes this property unique

Our spring-fed pond is filled with gorgeous rainbow trout. Because it is spring-fed, it rarely (if ever!) freezes over and is enjoyable year 'round. Our property is just 1.6 miles from Wonderland Cave and just 4 miles from Dalton Lake. There is so much to do nearby! We are located just 12.5 miles south of Sturgis, making this an ideal location to experience the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. We are located just off Vanocker Canyon Road and have direct access to the 3500 miles of Forest Service trails. Area ATV rentals (seasonal) and access to NFS trails. The hot tub is the perfect place to relax and stargaze. It has a blue tooth for you to connect your own iPod/cell phone and listen to music while soaking. Local wildlife is plentiful - deer, turkey, elk, bald eagles, golden eagles and much more frequent our property.
