Little Italy- Hilltop Cottage

Hot tub steaming on the deck, the sauna warmed up, and the fireplace glowing while snow settles outside. Winter at Little Italy is pure comfort.

It’s the ideal retreat for a secluded & nature-bound stay. The property is less than 2 miles from downtown Custer, less than 1 mile from Rocky Knolls Golf Course, and 5 miles from Custer State Park. We believe it’s the ultimate location to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Black Hills.
