This is the only place I stay in Custer, with over 10 years of traveling there for art shows. The Chalet is a historic motel with charming, very clean rooms. This is a safe, healthy and refreshing stay. Only a few steps to a local favorite coffee shop, the Mickelson Trail and downtown. Rooms are quiet and comfortable.

We were pleasantly surprised by this motel. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. We felt very comfortable here and loved the cozy, charming feel of the property. The room was spotless with some very well thought out perks. The separate bedroom for a double queen room was an added delight for us who travel with kids. Travel guides were provided as was a fireplace in the room. The information sheet included in the room listed several recommendations for food, drinks or sightseeing while in the area.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary trip. We trailered or motorcycle into town and she was extremely accommodating with us needing a little extra space for our SUV, trailer, and motorcycle. I was expecting the house to be much smaller than it was but it was absolutely perfect for what we needed! We will definitely stay again if we come back to Custer!
