Quiet country comfort. 3 miles from Custer, 3 miles from Custer State Park

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (107)
"We recently stayed here with extended family as we explored the Black Hills and this spot was just heavenly. The house was fully stocked and had plenty of space on the inside, and there was a large yard, fire pit, and even some nearby farm animals to keep our family entertained outside. The location to Custer and tourist attractions was perfect. Would stay here again! "

Comfort Inn And Suites Custer

2.5 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1000)
"This is a great place for a family to stay, knowing its more of a budget friendly accommodation. My kids loved the pool and breakfast. That being said, it could use some attention to detail. The "gym" machines were out of order, the bathroom fan sounded awful, the mirror was crooked on the wall, little fixes could make it an even better place to stay. "

Gold Camp Cabins

1.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (300)
"This was a great place to stay. The cabin was wonderful, the quiet was excellent, and it was easy to access. I would have given 5 stars, but some basic amenities like hand soap and shower soap should be provided or it could be clearer that these basics will not be there. An extra blanket for anyone staying during the colder months would also be appreciated. Other than that, I loved it!"

Chief Motel

2.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (453)
"This is a motel on the main drag of Custer. Easy walking to bars and many restaurants. It’s an older hotel and not much to look at on the outside. However the rooms are large and nicely appointed. Comfortable beds, nice towels, indoor pool and hot tub, coffee maker, nice size TV, in room are just some of the amenities. If you can get a good deal on it, it’s a great place. Took one star off as it’s a little pricey. Custer is a great base camp for the southern blackhills."
