Choosing Your Cabin

Contrary to what one may infer from the name, our housekeeping cabins do offer resort housekeeping service. The term "housekeeping cabin" dates back many years throughout different state & national park lodges. The term is used to differentiate between a cabin that is set up for an extended stay (featuring a kitchen or kitchenette) versus one that is set up for sleeping-only (thus named a "sleeping cabin").

A third cabin category that is unique to park systems is the "camping cabin". Camping cabins offer no private bathrooms, and no amenities or bed linens. All Custer State Park camping cabins are rented through campsd.com.

These days, the term "sleeping cabin" or "housekeeping cabin" is generally still applicable. It remains true that our Housekeeping Cabins offer at minimum a kitchenette, or even a full kitchen.

But as we beautify and update, some sleeping cabins have since had kitchenettes added to them (making the Log Sleeping Cabins at Blue Bell Lodge a little bit of an insider's secret) and other cabins like our Tatanka Cabin offer full kitchens, but simply never took on the terms when they were built.

Still a little muddy? We are here to help.
