After a traumatic traffic accident on the way to the Black Hills I was welcomed at this beautiful and restful inn with sympathy and great care. They allowed me to check in early and were so helpful in any ways. I will definitely recommend this inn to friends and family and stay here again if I am in the area.

The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The place may be older but extremely clean. Washers and dryers are new and you don't have to pay to use them, they even provide the detergent.

Fantastic Find!

The place has a great vibe, and lots of fun amenities for your stay. The staff is super friendly and they are Uber cat friendly. Wonderful little café on site and close proximity to Custer’s local attractions-including the needles highway, and the wildlife loop.
