We enjoyed having a private room apart from the kids! The heated pool was clean and the playground was right next to our room. We had breakfast in the restaurant and it was delicious! Only downside was the steep hill we had to navigate to park but that’s what you get when your hotel is nestled in the black hills! We would definitely stay here again!

Cute cabins. Very clean. Good restaurant. That being said, there was no breakfast included in the price of the room. Our particular room was facing the main road quite close so there was quite a lot of road noise till later. In the night. I would stay there again but in a cabin further back.

This was a lovely place to stay. We had designated parking with our room number, so we were assured of a close parking spot. The dining room was open for all three meals, and the food was great. Our room was clean and quiet.

This property is very close to Mount Rushmore and the kids liked the outdoor heated pool. But because the restaurant is so popular, it was very hard to find close parking when we arrived around dinner time.
