Top Custer State Park Wildlife Loop Road Hotel Reviews

El Dorado Ranch

El Dorado Ranch

8/10 Good
"Booked for July 2026. House has 4 bedrooms but only 2 full size beds, other rooms are twin or bunk beds. House was musty smelling. Only has AC in 1 room with fans, it was very hot while there and house did fell Fair but did cool off at night. Location of house is perfectly located in middle of all Black Hills attractions, which was a great fit. And just outside city of Custer. House was not real clean when we arrived. Floors and carpet dirty with dead insects and cob webs in corners. Kitchen table was dirty when I wiped off. Deck has a beautiful view, deer in back yard seen often. But owners should invest in new deck or sand it down to restain, full of splinters potential, had to be careful when walking on it or touch handrails."
