Best Spot in the Black Hills!
Can't say enough good things about the McDonald Ranch! We stayed in the Family Suite which was very clean and came well equipped. Host are very gracious and the location can't be beat. Just a short drive to Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Windcave National Park to name a few. This was our 2nd stay and the McDonald Ranch and won't be our last.

McDonald Family Ranch—family suite
Nice room, comfortable bed, clean bathroom, beautiful location. Decorated attractively. Enjoyed early morning walks along the road as well as hikes in the area. Although there are dishes and pans for cooking on the hot plate, there is only a sink in the bathroom so washing up has to be done there. What we really missed was the ability to make ice for water bottles. We tried freezing plastic water bottles overnight but water didn’t freeze.

Beautiful property
My family of 3 enjoyed this beautiful property. The only downfall was 90-100+ degree temperatures and the portable air conditioner that couldn't keep up. Thankfully, there was a box fan to use at night in the window. We also brought our own stand-up fan. Safe & comfortable environment, everything else worked wonderfully. Great price, great deal!
