Top Custer Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Custer - Crazy Horse Area

10/10 Excellent

"We were completely impressed with this hotel. Our room was extremely clean, the hot tub and pool were immaculate and the breakfast was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. STAY HERE!"

EO Bungalows – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"It was a small kitchen but good enough to cook small meals rather have to eat out every time. The Bungalow was extremely clean and well maintained with a wonderfully comfortable Purple Bed and cloud pillows. Very tastefully done and very classy with so many additions for comfort. Hosts were superb. "

Gold Camp Cabins

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at Gold Camp Cabins! Great for a family travelling with a pet. We stayed in Cabin 5, which was vey spacious and comfortable. Also, we were very happy that WiFi is now available in the cabins! One thing that could be improved, is if there were a few more kitchen items provided. We could have used some plates, bowls, silverware, and maybe a toaster."

At The Edge Of Solitude Where Stars Are Bright And The Air Is Fresh

10/10 Excellent

"This property is truly special and an incredible opportunity to have serenity. The hot tub at the edge of the canyon is so unique and special. The grilling station, picnic table, and deck are all first class. The home has been stocked with all of the necessary amenities. The dining room table is wonderful to enjoy the view while enjoying a meal. The stars on a clear night fill the sky with very little distractions. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys nature, privacy, and doesn't mind a long ride on a dirt road. "

Rustic Rock Haven - Horses Welcome

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was just perfect for the 2 of us and our dog, and the location in Custer State Park was just what we were looking for, in a weekend visit. The hiking trail on the property was a great surprise and the view was spectacular. Deb, our host, was so friendly and accommodating. We had a great time exploring the black hills, including the Custer Wildlife Trail and the Needles Highway. "
