The Bavarian Inn in Custer, SD, is such a quaint, clean, and quiet hotel! The staff was amazingly friendly, remembering us from day to day. The property is conveniently located; close to shopping and food, and also right off Highway 385 which is a major route in the Black Hills. We traveled with our dog and the property is very accommodating to pets. The Feel Good Cafe onsite has excellent breakfast food and is also pet friendly. We will definitely stay here again!

The Bavarian Inn is an amazing place to stay. From the friendly welcome, to superb room service, fresh conplimentary cookies, a lovely breakfast at the cafe, free laundry room services, and comfy rooms, everything was wonderful. The Inn is close to Custer State Park with its Wildlife Loop, Crazy Horse as well as Mount Rushmore. The town is very cute, walkable and features amazing restaurants. Also check out Black Hills Ballons for an unforgettable hot air balloon ride. We enjoyed our family vacation at this location very much and will definitely be back@
