We loved the home and all that it had

Sarah C2026-07-20

My family and I absolutely adored Mountain Top Haven. In fact we liked it so much we stayed an extra day. Spacious, unique, comfortable. Already planning on booking again!

Great spot close to all; with 5 kids in the car it was amazing having every attraction within 30 minutes.

Very nice, clean, and comfortable place to rest after a day of exploring South Dakota. Close to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse is basically across the street, and about 20 minutes from Custer State Park, and 1.5 hours from Badlands. Easily able to drive to all these places and explore. Downtown Custer has good places to eat and shop. Everyone in Custer is so friendly. The local grocery store, Lynn’s, has everything you need. And the cabin itself is very well stocked with linens, towels, every kitchen appliance and tool you’ll need, as well as fully functioning bathrooms/showers and large washer and dryer. We have stayed a lot of cabins but this one set the bar very high!

Convenient to local attractions.

This home was a great base camp for our family vacation in South Dakota. Home was clean and fully stocked. We planned to have meals together each night and the kitchen was perfect. Crock pot available which is nice to come "home" to a ready meal after seeing the sights nearby. Lovely porch with sunset view to relax after dinner. Definitely would recommend to this home.
