Woke up with back pain. Very small bathroom

I'm sure this property was charming many years ago but for 2025, it needs updating and remodeling. Everyone who works here is very nice. The room needed additional cleaning as there was hair everywhere on side of doors, on bathroom walls. The bathroom is very small so if you are over 5'10" it is very uncomfortable as toilet to sink is cramped. The shower is also very small. Only here for about 12 hours and woke up with horrible back pain. The mattresses need to be replaced. It's right off the main road.

Our visit was the most memorable experience. Michelle, the owner and her crew, Daniela&Rebeca Mede our stay so welcome and we felt like we were in our own home. There aren’t no words to express our gratitude. I will be back to Denver and tell EVERYONE about it and promote this amazing, wonderful and friendly place-Hotel.

Such a cute chalet to stay in! Michelle was the absolute best making sure we were taken care of and the continental breakfast already in the room was perfect. We stayed one night and check in and out were easy and convenient. It is a 1937 chalet with updates so the condition is what it is. Everything was very clean and we were thankful for the window air unit since it was unseasonably hot. Great location and value as we were passing through Custer.

Reasonable and clean.

Wonderful reception, comfortable beds. Tight but possible parking right next to cabin, tight in the bathroom and bathroom door hits one bed if you have two beds in your room like we did. Reasonable rate for the area. Breakfast was muffins, sugar juice, and sugar yogurt. There were also apples and oranges. No breakfast room. The first night the food was left in our room, and the second night we picked up the food in the office.

Very quaint and perfect for what we needed. The gal at the desk had pre stocked our rooms with breakfast items which was helpful since we planned to leave before the office opened. The cabins are quite small so keep that in mind, especially the bathroom. The bed wasn’t overly comfortable. Very convenient and casual though.
