We love staying at the Chalet, our 6th year in a row. Michele the owner is very accommodating and takes care of any needs. This charm was built in the 1930’s, small but clean and very well located.

This property is always very clean, and I enjoy the variety of accommodations available. I’ve stayed here many times, and in different chalets throughout the ones available. The staff is very friendly, the owner is a lovely lady, I try to stay here every time I’m in Custer! It’s an eclectic, historical place. Guests need to appreciate it for its uniqueness and preservation of original features!!

This is a charming pet-friendly place to stay in Custer. An old-fashioned motel with individual "cabins" with everything you need-nothing fancy. They put out a grab and go breakfast of juices, yogurts, and muffins. The staff is great-friendly and helpful. Felt very welcome and safe. Right on the main road in Custer. Easy to walk to shops and restaurants. A great value for the price!

I loved this place. Very unique and perfect for me. I wouldn’t say quirky, but I seek out places that have character. The staff was very helpful with area questions, as well. Do much better than a hotel!!!!
