About Matt Brown and Joy Falkenburg
Dr. Joy Falkenburg and her husband Matt Brown have lived in the Black Hills since 1999. They purchased the Little Red Inn in 2013 and opened it for use as a vacation home in 2014. They live next to Custer State Park with their family and enjoy the beauty and serenity of the Black Hills and all it has to offer all year long.

Why Matt Brown and Joy Falkenburg chose Black Hills
We live just down the road from the Little Red Inn. It had been for sale and every time we drove by we thought about buying it and opening it up for vacationers to enjoy when they stayed in the Black Hills. It is in a beautiful location and is close enough to both Custer and Custer State Park to be the perfect spot for people who are visiting the Hills. It also has a fenced in pasture for horses in case travelers are here with their horses to enjoy the Hills. The granite outcroppings east of Custer and Calamity Peak are just across the road from the Little Red Inn. Calamity Peak is one of the most photographed granite peaks in the Hills.
What makes this cottage unique
Our motto is that you can 'hold your horses here'. If you are in the Black Hills to ride, bring your horses with you and leave them in our spacious pasture while you relax at the Little Red Inn. We also have a fire pit so you and the family or friends (or both!) can roast s'mores under the beautiful night sky of Custer.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We came to visit family and stayed with our family and her sister and her family. It worked out wonderful. We were able to have time for the kids to nap and we were able to eat at the house and still close enough to Custer to enjoy it as well. Lots of room inside and outside. The kids could safely play and the temps were perfect. I would come back here with my family again.

Great place close to town
We really enjoyed staying at The Little Red Inn. It was close enough to town to grab dinner or groceries but far enough away to feel secluded. It was also a great launching point for all of the site seeing to be done in the area. The kids loved feeding the cow and catching grasshoppers and frogs in the yard. IT was very quiet, the beds were comfortable and there was room enough for 3 adults and 3 kids under 9.
Good vacation in the Custer area
Three couples shared the home for a week. it was well located for sightseeing and trail riding. We were able to park our trailers at the house and just go directly to trails. The house was close to both Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Monument. We enjoyed our week.
Gorgeous location and views.
My family and I loved the place. It was well kept and clean whem we got there and the amenities that the owner provided made our stay well worth it. When I'm back in Custer, I'll no longer look at hotels or campgrounds.
Perfect!
We loved our stay at the Little Red Inn! The accommodations were perfect for my wife and me with out 5 young children. We had a queen bed to spare. The house was clean and there were more than enough dishes. The TV options were great, but we spent almost all of our time outside, enjoying the view and parade of deer, turkey, and beautiful birds. Our kids' favorite was "Bessie," the young cow by the house. The location is convenient to Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse, and downtown Custer is only minutes away. Matt and Joy were great! We locked ourselves out of the garage (even though locked doors are completely unnecessary), and Matt came and let us in right away. Thanks to the owners, the Inn was a highlight of our trip!
Love the Little Red Cabin
We loved our stay at the Little Red Cabin! It was very quite and relaxing. My son really enjoyed the cow, (whom he named Buddy), that walked inside a fence along side the property. We would highly recommend The Little Red Cabin.
Perfection
This house was JUST what we wanted. The owners thought of everything...from bikes to s'mores sticks to all the necessary items one needs to get along in a home for a number of days. This little red cabin is close to pretty much anything you'd want to do. We hiked non-stop, rode horses, did the Chuck Wagon roast, swam in a lake, visited Cascade Falls (Google it, it's simply amazing), hiked some more, did Mt. Rushmore, checked out some of the surrounding towns (including Custer) and we were only there for 5 nights. We had four adults and five kids (aged appx 8, 8, 6, 6, 4). The was plenty of wild life and our kids LOVED the cow chilling in the adjacent property. No complaints. Showers were warm, beds were comfortable, decor was cute, laundry facilities were better than I have at home...we were happy. Thanks for hosting us!
Map
Ideally located three miles from Custer and two miles from Custer State Park, we are centrally located to all your Black Hills activities, including Wind Cave, the Needles Highway, Mt. Rushmore, Sylvan Lake, Crazy Horse, Hill City, Keystone, Custer State Park, the Mickelson Trail, Custer, Rapid City and Iron Mt. Road. Interested in horseback riding? The Little Red Inn has fenced pasture available so you can 'hold your horses here.' We are close to Iron Creek horse camp, a premiere horse riding trail system.
For hunters, wildlife enthusiasts, and fishermen, opportunities abound! You are likely to see whitetail deer, wild turkey, elk, coyotes, and the occasional mountain lion on or around the property. Stockade and Bismark Lake are just over the hill and provide opportunity for fly and traditional line fishing for trout, perch, crappie, bass, northern, and sunfish. Buffalo also roam just minutes away in Custer State Park.
