This is a cozy little place. It is nice but be aware the cabins are small. Has a very neat little tap room that is quite fun. The owners are very sweet and welcoming. Very easy access to Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse.

We stayed in Aspen cottage for a week. The cottage was perfect for our needs. The location is perfect for all the activities in the Black Hill area. The property was very well maintained and clean. The owners provide a fun atmosphere with nightly bon fires, grilling area and tap room for gathering and conversations. We will be recommending to everyone and hope to return some day.

The property was beautiful. There were way to many rules. Also as a paying client and I have use of the amenities on the property, if I wish to invite someone over to eat and use the grill, the guest has to pay. Either pay $10 or they have to buy a drink from the bar on the property. Never have I ever heard of this before.

Unexpected Piece of Heaven
Black Elk Resort looked pretty and had the right price tag when I booked. I did NOT expect the little piece of heaven that we stepped in to when checking in. Becky gave us all sorts of info about the property and taproom and recs for the area. The room was comfortable and the views were amazing. I want to come back again and enjoy it with just my husband next time.

Best locally-owned place I’ve ever stayed
I booked the Northwoods cabin for my last stop on a 5 day sightseeing road trip. I’m usually very cautious of local-owned places due to a few very bad experiences in the past. Thankfully, Black Elk Resort is not one of those places. Dan and Lora are two of the nicest people, and the facilities are clean and comfortable. The taproom onsite is a great place to unwind and enjoy some drinks and conversation with fellow guests and the hosts themselves. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in the Black Hills area during the summer, look no further.

Amazing views
We loved staying at this cottage. Very clean! The owners/ host were fabulous! I don’t leave many reviews but needed to for this hidden gem. We stayed here after reading the reviews of other guests and was not disappointed. Close to everything we wanted to do. Especially coming back to unwind and going to the Taproom for beer and wine. Also getting to know some of the other guests that were staying there as well. This hidden gem will not disappoint. Dan and Lora welcomed you as friends but definitely made you feel like family.

Fantastic stay in the heart of the Black Hills
We loved our stay here. The kids could run and play on the playground equipment safely. Dan and Lora were so welcoming and friendly. They treated our kids like their own. We loved the nightly bonfires and getting to chat with other guests. So fun to learn about everyone’s different travels. All requirements for staying were clearly outlined in a binder. I appreciate their efforts in sustainability.
