FABULOUS!!
Absolutely one of the best stays we've ever experienced! Quiet, peaceful, cozy and relaxing. Everything we needed to be comfortable and Candace was by far the greatest of hosts. Beds were comfy, shower always hot and everything provided for a "home away from home" stay. Will be staying again in the future with no hesitatation!!

We enjoyed our time at Charming Hillside Hideaway. Our host, Candace, is a very sweet person and very knowledgeable of the area. She responded to our questions quickly and gave us excellent examples of places to go and things to do. It was special to see deer and wild turkeys outside of the house. We will stay there again! I highly recommend this property! 💗

Perfect for exploring the area
This was a very clean and big place to stay and nature right outside your door. Deer by the porch everyday. Walkable to downtown and so much to do right by this house. Custer state park was awesome and we easily took 3 days here exploring the entire park and hiking and seeing the animals. Also close to Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse so you could easily go at night for the lights on the memorial. Every single thing she has like spices and baggies and condiments. We cooked on the grill every night. Only negative is you can hear all walking up stairs but she probably could hear us too. We would definitely stay here again, it was fantastic!!!

Fantastic Property
The Hillside Hideaway was a wonderful place to stay. It is a cozy retreat in a quiet neighborhood and has all the amenities of home. It is very clean, the kitchen is well-equipped, the shower is wonderful, and the bed is very comfortable. The host has many welcoming touches (like fresh flowers on the table!) and has thought of everything. Highly recommend staying here!

Lovely place
This was such a clean relaxing and convenient place to stay as our home base for the Black Hills adventure that we had planned. At the end of the day, we loved sitting on her covered porch watching the wildlife. There were a couple of deer families that would cross the property. The mattress was awesome for us. Candace provided everything we needed and more. She was available for any questions we had about the area making recommendations for restaurants and things to do.

Exceptional Rental with Exceptional Host!
We absolutely loved our stay, and Candace was OUTSTANDING!! The rental was clean and very comfortable, with a beautiful outdoor space as well. Candace clearly puts a lot of care in preparing for her guests with clear instructions and so many amenities: games, snacks, toiletries…even glasses chilling in the freezer when we arrived. She thought of everything! Candace provides excellent communication and makes herself available to help her guests if needed. I’ve stayed in several rentals and Candace stands out as a top host. We LOVED our stay so much!!

Property was very clean and expertly stocked with anything you might need away from home. Had nice outdoor patio, comfortable king size bed and great water pressure in shower. Host seemed very nice and was easy to reach via text. After a day exploring in the Hills it was a pleasure to return to Hillside Hideaway and relax.

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.

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!

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!!
