The Bavarian Inn in Custer, SD, is such a quaint, clean, and quiet hotel! The staff was amazingly friendly, remembering us from day to day. The property is conveniently located; close to shopping and food, and also right off Highway 385 which is a major route in the Black Hills. We traveled with our dog and the property is very accommodating to pets. The Feel Good Cafe onsite has excellent breakfast food and is also pet friendly. We will definitely stay here again!
