Great location and accommodations!! The Kleemann House suited our party of 8 guests perfectly. Shops and eateries within easy walking distance was a real PLUS (especially the Sage Grille next door!! We enjoyed several meals there).Our host seemed to account for every amenity - the kitchen, bar area and bathrooms were well stocked with necessities and made our stay comfortable and care free.Thank you from our team to yours, PMN

Great place for groups or family to gather

We came back to Custer to use our ohvs on the trails in the area and found this place for our 5 couple group. What a. Find! Every couple had a tastefully decorated and well done bathroom and comfortable king bed. We ended up wanting to stay at the house more and more. The bar area was a favorite hangout, along with the patio. A hit with our group, we would highly recommend!Buffalo Bill stayed at the original hotel!

Family Get-Together 2025

Several of our family members were in the Mickelson Trail Ride this past weekend. This locations was perfect for us, bikes left two blocks away, so ones that didn't bike could stay right down town while they were gone. It was amazing, house was beautiful. Yard was the only thing that had not been maintained very well.

Wonderful property

This property was absolutely stunning. It allowed us each to have our own space, but also allowed for us to spend time gathered together.
