This was such a cute spot to stay! Dog friendly and very clean. There’s a cafe near by perfect for a quick bite to eat. It’s close to town and Mt Rushmore. Definitely enjoyed my stay. The staff is super nice and the place felt like cozy home away from home.

This little inn was a gem! The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were amazing and so friendly. We had an issue with our shower head leaking and they repaired it the day we reported it. The cafe just up the hill had wonderful treats and breakfast dishes for purchase. Definitely a great place to stay if you plan to explore the Black Hills and Custer State Park.

Clean, staff was great. Only thing to be aware of is the the upper level is only accessible by stairs. Getting luggage up and down was a chore. Keep that in mind when making reservations, ask for 1st floor room.

Cute as a button, convenient and entertaining for kids and adults. We stayed three nights at Bavarian Inn and it is fantastic. The indoor pool was clean and warm. The pickleball courts, giant chess set and video games kept me and my 11yo entertained. Very convenient to Custer, Keystone, Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, caves, etc. Custer is a darling town without the chaos of Keystone. We would stay here again and again and again.
