    We recently spent two days in Custer, SD, and it was fantastic. Custer is a perfect base camp for taking in all the surrounding sites including Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, Custer St. Park wildlife loop, and the Custer St. Park Sylvan Lake area including Black Elk Peak-Little Devils Tower-Cathedral Spires hikes.

    The room was cozy, we didn’t need a lot of space, it was perfect. Wish we had more time to walk around the property. They have several outdoor games. We had breast the Feel Good Restaurant next door, very convenient

    Initially, we had booked stay in various towns, but changed this and made Custer our main stay. This allowed us a central location, whilst we took days out to State Park, Mount Rushmore, Deadwood, Sturgis and other places, and saved us from packing/unpacking for the duration of our trip!

    Great central location to Custer State Park, Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, Mt Rushmore. You can get a decent meal. It is not just burger restaurants. Custer State Park has incredible wildlife especially at dawn and dusk. It is as good as most National Parks. The Custer tourist area is the same as any of the others but the buffalo sculptures set it apart. There is also a farmer's market downtown.

    Don was an amazing host, we thoroughly enjoyed interacting with him and our conversations. The pride of ownership is evident in this motel, the property is extremely well taken care of and the rooms were spotless and very clean. The rooms were well equipped as well with a decent sized mini-fridge and microwave. The location is central to many great restaurants and shops. The coffee and tea in the morning was excellent as well. Highly recommend this local gem when staying in Custer, you won't be disappointed!

    A charming venue where to stay when visiting Mount Rushmore area. The property has many amenities for guests including sport facilities (basketball playground and two heated pools) a cafe where to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner and complimentary snacks. The staff is friendly and ready to assist customers for any need. It is located in a natural setting just a minute away from Custer main avenue where stores and restaurants are available. Mount Rushmore can be accessed in a 20min drive through a scenic route.

    Great location. In the heart of the Black Hills. Very scenic. Outsides are the main attraction. A few minutes away from the western entrance of the Custer State Park. Upstairs beds were comfortable. Living and dining area was comfortable. Lots of eating places in town of Custer, just 3 or so miles away, with grocery store and gas. Close to many things - town of Custer, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, within 20 minutes of Mount Rushmore. Easy to get in/out coming from the East (I-90 E).

    So glad we found this gem in Custer, South Dakota. It’s well worth the drive from Rapid City, and it’s conveniently located so you can stay a couple days and hit all the sites like Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore, Black Hills, Bear Country, Custer State Park, etc. It’s nice to get away from the overpriced big chains, and actually meet the owner of the property. Eric puts a high priority on cleanliness and sanitation and it shows. We highly recommend!!!

    Everything was great at this hotel including the price!! The place was clean, comfortable and they served the best breakfast of all the hotels during our trip(which totaled 4 hotels in 4 days). They were also the cleanest hotel by far!! I’m glad they have additional fees if people smoke in the rooms. This made a huge difference! The staff was very friendly & helpful! I highly recommend this particular hotel. I wish they could all be like this!

    It was a beautiful setting within walking distance of downtown Custer. Their Feel Good Cafe had breakfast items that were freshly baked and prepared. Biscuits were fresh baked and delicious. They had afternoon cookie hour with scrumptious chocolate chip cookies. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful in so many ways. It is centrally located to all the MUST SEE places in this area. They have their own Pickleball courts!

    A fantastic customer service experience, due to flight delays from salt lake city via Denver and an unplanned stopover in Denver, I was a day late to Rapid Reg airport. I informed the manager Curtis who was so helpful, and despite their being a bike rally lpcally, he managed to accommodate me 1 extra day in the beautiful town of Custer - I would highly recommend this venue. The staff were so helpful at every opportunity.

    Very well located motel near downton Custer with clean and spacious rooms. Our beds were comfortable and we could park right in front of our room. Breakfast was very good with free coffee available at all times. Staff was very friendly and helped immediately to fix the settings on the heating as it got a bit too cold the first night. Very great value for money for this place.

    The rooms are spacious, clean and have great comfortable beds. The pillows are also great. The pool and spa are also nice and indoors. The location is right near Crazy Horse, Custer State Park (The needles highway, silvan lake, wildlife area), and Mount Rushmore. The owners are delightful and knowledgable about the area. Great place to stay..

    If you are looking for a place to appreciate the outdoor beauty of the Custer,SD area, this is the place! We were met with great hospitality, and loved this opportunity to UNPLUG from everything. We had wildlife all around us, and enjoyed the spaciousness of the lodge. We found a new area of the US that everyone should explore and visit.

    The location was perfect for our excursions into Custer State Park, Mt Rushmore, etc. The staff/owners could not have been more friendly. The rooms are vintage and of yesteryear, but immaculate. There is a grassy area outback with deck, picnic tables and chairs for relaxing.
