We absolutely love staying at the Bavarian Inn. Every need you could think of is fufilled while keeping that down home family feel. The decking in front of the rooms could use attention and our Jacuzzi tub didnt work. Other than that, our stay was fantastic. We will be back again Bavarian Inn as we have before!

Overall the property looked a little tired on the outside. The rooms were clean and you could do your laundry for free. Very nice cafe to have breakfast every day. Very convenient to all the attractions in the Black Hills - Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and the wonderful Custer State National Park. Also a short 5 minute drive into the town of Custer where there are many good restaurants.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! This place is a hidden gem! The staff was so friendly, the rooms were great, there is free laundry that included soap to use, it is close to the National Parks, and there is also cookie time from 3:30pm-4:30pm! Breakfast is not included, but the cafe is right next door to the inn that has some delicious coffee/food!! If I am ever back in the area, I will be staying here again! Thank you so much!
