Lovely property in Custer about one mile north of towns center off 385north with many great amenities. Pool great! Hot tub very nice but not really hot as I like it at 103* but more like 100*. Pickleball, games,games and more games. Great place to unwind, hang out or rest up for adventures taken or near. Clean and super friendly and nice. Cookies and milk! You’ll not be disappointed.

The level of customer service is wonderful! Something as simple as "cookie time" and complimentary laundry shows a unique perspective to make customers feel valued. The room was clean with good furnishings. The kids loved the pool while i enjoyed the hottub. The thing you'll notice is it has a whimsical feel that sets them appart from other hotels. We would definitely stay there again!

Our stay here was wonderful. We only spent one night on our way through SD- and were bummed we didn’t have longer! They have games to bring to your room, a beautiful pool area and many outdoor activities, that we unfortunately couldn’t use because it was raining. They delivered cookies at bedtime which made the stay so special and memorable. The staff were also very kind and helpful. Made sure we were as comfortable as possible and had great recommendations on places to go. Will definitely come back to stay longer!

The room was very nice. When you step into your room the lights were on and there was easy listening music playing on the tv. It gave it a homey feeling. The Bed was alittle uncomfortable. It was memory foam and was very soft. Otherwise the place was very nice. The staff was amazing. I would definitely stay here again and would suggest it to my friends

Charming rooms and grounds

This is our second time staying here as we really enjoy the charm of the rooms and grounds. There is an indoor and outdoor pool as well as a basketball and pickleball court area. The fitness trail is perfect to walk our dog and get a little exercise as well. The rooms while a little older, are so charming and the bedding is sooooo soft. We will stay here again next time we are in the area.
