We had one of the best vacation experiences ever at the Bavarian inn. The staff was incredible, happy smiling people who unite as one big family to provide great service. My dog was welcome everywhere-even the breakfast cafe in the restaurant on site where there were couches and toys and a stand up chess set. The sweetest staff, many on summer visa’s from all over the world. It was delightful to hear their stories, dreams and ambitions knowing that their US exposure was to a wonderful place with happy people. My visit to Custer and lodging at the Bavarian Inn was like a return to life in the 1950’s. The setting and environment was magical and there were hundreds of well maintained annuals tended everywhere. They all take great pride in presenting a great experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The grounds of the property were impressive with a pool, jacuzzi, pickleball court, hammock, deck, and more. Although the motel was built many years ago, I was pleasantly surprised that my room's interior was updated... modern-appearing and very warm/welcoming. The only reason I gave the property condition and facilities 4 stars was that the bathtub drained very slowly with standing water remaining for about 30 minutes after only a 10-minute shower. It was no big deal to me as I was travelling alone. Bottom line, I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend the Bavarian Inn to anyone looking for a clean and modern motel in the Black Hills, convenient to many attractions.

Great place with a fun vibe!
The staff was super friendly, cookie hour was fun, the amenities were great, room was clean, the decor is super cute! Great location for a black hills adventure! We used it as our base of operations and visited devil's tower, Mt Rushmore, crazy horse, and Custer State Park. No complaints!

Quaint setting with staff and service that raise your stay from great to remarkable. From cookies and milk upon arrival to the amiable attitude and helpfulness of the team, this place is a true home away from home. EV chargers and the fully-equipped laundry room were especially appreciated.
