Such a cute chalet to stay in! Michelle was the absolute best making sure we were taken care of and the continental breakfast already in the room was perfect. We stayed one night and check in and out were easy and convenient. It is a 1937 chalet with updates so the condition is what it is. Everything was very clean and we were thankful for the window air unit since it was unseasonably hot. Great location and value as we were passing through Custer.

Reasonable and clean.

Wonderful reception, comfortable beds. Tight but possible parking right next to cabin, tight in the bathroom and bathroom door hits one bed if you have two beds in your room like we did. Reasonable rate for the area. Breakfast was muffins, sugar juice, and sugar yogurt. There were also apples and oranges. No breakfast room. The first night the food was left in our room, and the second night we picked up the food in the office.

Very quaint and perfect for what we needed. The gal at the desk had pre stocked our rooms with breakfast items which was helpful since we planned to leave before the office opened. The cabins are quite small so keep that in mind, especially the bathroom. The bed wasn’t overly comfortable. Very convenient and casual though.
