We just got back from 4 nights in Custer. We were there the weekend after the big "buffalo roundup", and the town was pretty much shut down...so we had the Motel and the town pretty much to ourselves. The cabins are very clean, tidy and cute. Our cabin was quite small, but since we had no intention of spending our... More

The owners are lovely and very helpful. I made enquiries by email before I booked and got replies straight away and Ann was very friendly when I made the booking by phone. When we arrived we were made to feel most welcome and they told us lots of information about the area. When I asked about recommendations for dinner for... More

The Shady Rest Motel is perfect place to stay if you are on a budget. The rooms are nice and clean and it is located off the main drag so you hear no traffic. It is close enough to walk to the grocery store or other business. It is nice having a kitchen so we could eat some of our... More

We stayed for several nights at this location while we traveled to all of the Black Hills attractions. Custer is an excellent place to stay. Lots of restaurants, laundry mat and shopping. Our cabin was super clean and the wifi service was excellent. W would definitely stay here again.

This was a great experience. The cabins were super clean, and the owners were always close at hand if we needed anything. They suggested things for us to do that they had personally experienced as a family with children. Great value and service for the money.

This was our first time staying at the Shady Rest, and our eighth trip to the black hills. I don't know why it took so long to find this gem. Six nights went by in a flash. Ann & John were helpful and knowledgeable of the attractions in the area. The cabin was clean and very nice. Don't hesitate to... More

I booked this cabin based on the great reviews and the reviews were right! The cabin was adorable and clean. We had cabin #7 for 4 nights and received a 10% discount bc we stayed over 3 nights. Our rate was only $68.50 per night after the discount for Sun-Thurs. No other cabin in the Black Hills even comes close... More

Our 3 night stay was amazing. The cabin (hunters lodge) was spotlessly clean. The location to all the attractions in the southern portion of the black hills was ideal. The cabin was huge for the 5 of us and very nicely layed out. We took advantage of the kitchen and saved a lot on eating out. 2 bathrooms was a... More

Spent 3 nights at Shady Rest in mid August 2012. Stayed in the bunk house which suite our family of 4 very well. Son and I crashed in the bunk which was over the "booth" sytle table, which also converted to a bed...somehow. Wife and daughter slept in the Queen bed. Very clean cabin and owners were very welcoming and... More
