Great location!

Had a great stay with our family of 5. Great location for easy access to many Black Hills adventures. Loved being such a short drive to Custer State Park. Best of all could walk into Custer for meals and shopping and did not have to worry about parking. Thanks for a great place to relax during our vacation.
