Prime Investment Properties LLC, a leading hospitality brokerage firm and member of Hotel Brokers International, today announced a formal CALL FOR OFFERS on the Bavarian Inn, Black Hills, a stabilized, income-producing 64-key independent hotel situated on 5.5 acres at 855 N 5th Street in Custer, South Dakota. Qualified buyers are invited to review the confidential offering and submit written offers by Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at 5:00 PM MDT.
Rarely does an asset of this caliber come to market in the Black Hills. The Bavarian Inn sits minutes from Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and Crazy Horse Memorial — three of the most visited attractions in the American Midwest — on the region’s highest-traffic corridor. It is a proven, cash-flowing business with a 4.7-star Google rating, a loyal returning guest base, and no franchise fees or royalty obligations, giving an incoming owner complete creative and operational control.
This structured call for offers is designed to give every serious buyer a clear, equal, and confidential path to ownership on a defined timeline.
“The Bavarian Inn is one of the most compelling hospitality listings we have had the privilege to bring to market,” said Dan Emert, Managing Principal, Prime Investment Properties LLC. “This isn’t just a hotel — it’s a proven, cash-flowing business with an irreplaceable location. Interest has been strong and consistent, and the fairest way forward for every party is a single deadline, a level playing field, and full transparency. Buyers who have been watching this property should act now. On September 30th, the window closes.”
Why the Bavarian Inn
- 64-key independent hotel on 5.5 acres in the heart of the Black Hills, carrying a 4.7-star Google rating
- Projecting $700K+ NOI on a 150-day short operating season — stabilized income with clear rate and operational upside
- Marquee, high-visitation market — Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and Crazy Horse Memorial all minutes away
- Resort-style family-friendly amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, pickleball and basketball courts, landscaped grounds, free guest laundry, and EV charging
- On-site manager’s residence — a built-in workforce-housing solution in a market where staff housing is the primary operating constraint
- Turnkey operations with documented SOPs, daily and weekly checklists, a trained team, and J-1 Visa staffing established for peak season
- Substantial recent capital investment — new roofs, PTAC replacements, refreshed bathrooms, resurfaced parking lot, upgraded internet and pool systems
- Potential seller financing available with a significant down payment
- Documented growth runway in shoulder seasons, weddings, wellness retreats, and group event hosting
Market Tailwinds
A planned Highway 385 expansion, including a new sidewalk connecting the Bavarian Inn directly to Custer’s city center, will further enhance visibility and walkability for years to come. For a value-add operator, the demand tailwinds arrive alongside an asset already producing. August revenue was up 21% over the previous year.
