Guests frequently praise the spacious layouts, stocked kitchens, and comfortable beds, as well as the building’s historic charm.

Proximity to National Parks was great. Unit was clean and offered snacks ,coffee and soap and lotion. Bed was very comfortable . Restaurants in area were plentiful and varied. Host answered questions promptly. Laundry facility was located in musky basement area. Stairs could be a challenge for older people.

Pleasant stay (State park, little town, nice snacks and souvenir), but there were lots of small issues that made this a mixed experience (especially considering the price): Pictures of flat were much brighter than the actual rooms. Wifi was poor (and owner had to come to fix it). No information about TV usage. Information about restaurants outdated. Not enough cutlery, not enough toilet paper. Gym is very old and not well maintained. Unfortunately not a place we would come back to.

The description is exactly what we found during our visit here. The beds and bathroom were clean and the kitchen was also in good order. We loved the location and being able to walk all around town and hike up to the top of the hill to start every morning. My only complaint was the faux antique bath tub which fit the decor but wasn't the most convenient to get into and out of. Will definitely stay here again.

Rooms

Apartments are spacious with well-equipped kitchens, comfortable beds, and historic character; multiple reviews find it quiet despite the central setting. A recurring drawback is no central AC, as the single window unit may not cool bedrooms adequately.

This was an awesome furnished apartment for us! The 3 bedrooms were perfect! Our grandchildren were each able to have their own bedroom. The stocked kitchen with dishes, pots and pans were great for making our own food. This place was a wonderful place to relax each morning and evening. We spent the days out exploring the area.

Walking distance to food and shopping anytime of day. Great furniture, beds were great, kitchen was roomy and well stocked, bathroom was roomy with an awsome claw foot tub. Plenty to do in town with museums and rodeo To name a few. Short drive to yellowstone.

We loved staying in Custer, walking to restaurants and visiting the parks nearby. The apartment was perfect for 2 of us with recent updates in a cool old building. Bed was very comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. The futon in front of the tv was not a comfortable place to sit.

Almost perfect for our little family, though it didn't realistically sleep 4; pull-out is a twin. We mostly used it as a quick turnaround spot and to sleep. It was comfortable, had everything we needed, and was surprisingly quiet given the central location! A screen in the bedroom window would be nice to let the cool night air in as the air conditioning doesn't reach there.

The place is great…the only draw back is the only source of air conditioning is the window unit in the living room. The bedrooms are pretty warm at night even with doors open. Admittedly the building is old and the location was great for what we wanted to see and do.

While the apartment was clean and in a great location the bed and mattress situation in all 3 rooms made this experience truly awful. Either they are the cheapest mattresses ever made or are over 20 years old. You can feel every spring and piece of metal inside them which makes the night a truly awful experience. Waking up after one night on the beds leaves you beat up, sore, and feeling like you never slept. The managers work downstairs and couldn’t be bothered to try and fix the situation when it was brought to their attention. We actually left a day early to go back home because it was worth more to us to sleep in a normal bed than suffer through another night of pain.

This is the second time staying at this property and it’s a lovely spot in the heart of Custer. Trying to connect with Evolve, the property management company, was a dead end and frustrating. The one question I asked took them over a week to respond to. The second question I asked they never responded to.

Sisters trip to Custer. We LOVED our apartment which had everything we needed. Living area is large. Kitchen is stocked. Quiet at night. We loved the fact that just out the door was the Main Street. Center of the coffee shops, restaurants and breakfast areas. All within walking distance. Jerry and his team were wonderful to visit with. He recommended many wonderful places to eat. This was our first time to Custer. We definitely would come back again!

Great quiet place with all you need! Amazing location close to everything in Custer. I was there for a quiet work sanctuary and it was perfect. Met the host/manager who was very friendly and accommodating - wanting to make sure all my needs were met. I’d highly recommend this for anyone looking for a nice get away in the area!
