This trip was a boys trip and getting back to basics. We tent camped and occupied campsite #1 that offered the shade of a lone needled tree and a fire pit. The site was clean and well manicured with a good distance away from other campers. Two pools, one for adults, the other children and a hot tub. Ten shower/restrooms that have laundry and a station outside for washing dishes. Overall a very nice campground. My only critique is a little more attention to the restrooms as the garbage was often overflowing. I truly appreciate when a business responds to a review/critique and takes steps measures to make things better. For that, I'm adding a star .

The property is beautiful and very well maintained, and the staff is wonderful. You can tell they genuinely enjoy their jobs, which makes the whole experience even more pleasant. Check-in was quick and easy. The rooms are a bit outdated in style, but they are very clean and comfortable. I do wish the bathroom had been a little larger and that it didn't have a shower curtain instead of a glass door. Housekeeping is not provided daily, but you can request fresh linens and amenities each day, and they will be delivered to your room. Overall, it's fairly priced, great for families, with plenty of parking and lots of nearby services. I would definitely recommend it for anyone visiting the area.

Our room was clean, comfortable and charming - charming in a way that might remind you of staying overnight at Grandma's or Auntie's house in that spare bedroom. Coming into Custer the other day and looking for a place to stay the night, we happened upon this one and were mighty happy we did. We checked in and asked about places in the area to get some dinner. One place we'd driven by and then asked about had Amy's approval and so we walked down the 1-2 blocks to the pizza place to order before their 8:30pm closing time. $69/night for 1 queen-size bed, 3/4 bath and t.v. Plus, the next morning, you can buy a breakfast coupon at the front desk for $4.99 - it's good for the next-door restaurant (The Wrangler Cafe, or something similar) - the coupon will save you $4 on that one breakfast plate.

She gave us the run down on best places to eat and things to do, which was very helpful. The Cabin was located walking distance from Main St. We actually drove up to Hill City, Keystone & Deadwood to visit for the day and later that eve came back through Custer without reservations for second night, called Anne at SR and she was happy to arrange a cabin for us within minutes of our arrival. Highly recommend staying here with great rate to boot. We enjoyed our stay very much in Custer. Can't wait to go back!! and of course stay at SHADY REST MOTEL/Cabins!!

The cabin itself is cozy with cable tv, Wi-Fi, a small kitchen area, and a porch swing....and a Jacuzzi. Anne was always ready to make honest suggestions where to go, and she was always right. We asked if there was an ice machine, she said no, but brought us back a tub of ice from her own kitchen. The location is near everything you are wanting to visit in South Dakota. Highly recommend you stay here if travelling through, as you feel nestled in the woods, yet still part of civilization, and amazing customer service

We found EO Bungalows as we were planning a cross-country trip in mid-May this year. Due to the…read morepandemic, many hotels were closed and we were leery of staying in most hotels. Having previously stayed at The Bavarian Inn just up the road, we reached out to discover that they, among others, were closed. The owners mentioned their new property in town, EO Bungalows, and how they were offering enhanced cleaning and contactless check-in/out. This combination was perfect for us and we booked one night. This location features four private units with ensuite bathrooms and a common courtyard. Parking is curbside and you're just one block off the main strip, making the location very walkable. The units themselves are wonderful. Nicely furnished with very comfortable beds; a kitchette with everything you need including a toaster; a bathroom with an incredible steam shower, dimmable lighting in all areas and artwork that creates a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere. We drive an electric car and found convenient free charging available at the local Chamber of Commerce just two blocks away. We had dinner on The Custer Wolf's patio and enjoyed our first restaurant meal in months. Thanks EO Bungalows! We'll be back... looking forward to the next Tesla rally, whenever that is.

I stayed at the Rock Crest Lodge this summer when I was in Custer for a wedding. We requested an…read moreaccessible room, and it worked for the most part. There were a few issues...but they were manageable since I wasn't staying in the room alone. Trouble 1) When showering, you can't reach the shower controls while sitting on the shower bench. I keep seeing this in hotels, I'm not sure what they expect you to do. Most people who need a shower bench can't stand up and get the controls! Trouble 2) Tiny little closet rod, difficult to get to behind the table & chairs (and the bathroom door). It's low, to make it an accessible height, but so difficult to reach that it was almost not worth even trying! Trouble 3) Table and chairs in the room would be nice if we were cooking in our room & such, but since we weren't they were really just in the way. The table was too small to pull under when in a wheelchair anyway. Their location meant that I couldn't reach the kitchenette area anyway. If I'd been staying alone I'm not sure how I would have handled the shower, and I would have requested that staff remove the table & chairs. Just thought I'd warn other wheelchair users so they can make an informed decision. The bed was adequately comfortable, water pressure was great, the room a little noisy due to the proximity of the ice-room & the parking lot. Overall - could have been better, but could have been much worse - at least i was able to get in and out! :)
