Such an adorable place to stay. We didn’t care much for the provided soaps and conditioner, everything else in the room was more than comfortable and super clean. The property was amazing and accommodating. Please get some breakfast at the cafe, it’s really worth it. Will come back to stay here if we are in town in the future. Also the employees were top-notch!

The Bavarian Inn was in a very accessible location, The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. We originally booked 1 night but added on another. The staff was very helpful with rebooking and also with giving tips on how to experience many of the local sites.

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@

This was a quaint, beautiful little well maintained hotel. They had something for everyone from swimming to yard games. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. It was not your typical hotel. I would recommend 100% and plan to return on our trips to Custer! Thank you Bavarian Inn for a family friendly inviting environment! Well done!
