8/10 Very Good! (13 reviews)
The cabins are clean. The kitchen comes with essentials. However, you would think for the price you would get complimenty coffee. Its off a noisy highway.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (91 reviews)
We stayed here because of the location to the black hills and because of previous reviews. We rented one of the Mountain view cabins and they did not disappoint us. The property was rated a 10 and we agree. Elkhorn is a clean and nice property and would definitely stay here again.

Stop at 2nd Info center for direction on where Buffalo and Donkeys are. Go to main visitor center early, it gets very busy!

Beautiful, scenic drive! The kids were fascinated the whole drive through Needles Highway and they about lost their minds with all the buffalo on the road wandering around in the Wildlife Loop! Definitely will do this again!
