6.6/10 (936 reviews)

I really enjoyed the area around the property. I was out there for the 85th Sturgis Rally. We were supposed to stay at Baymont in Spearfish which was a horrible disaster and then ended up here. I felt very safe at this property. I parked my motorcycle outside with no fear that there would be issues. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The building itself was older. You could tell though that they had made efforts to make the building nice. Our room had a jacuzzi, but it was out of order. Overall, if I had to stay here again, I would. But I would not seek this out as my first choice in the area.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (79 reviews)

Pine Haven is new, and has been thoughtfully built. The cabins are roomy and well laid out, with a small but functional kitchen area at one end, and a tiny loft at the other that kids will adore. Every cabin (and RV stand) has a fire pit and picnic table, and the facility has a wide grassy area surrounding it, good for short breaks with our hound. It’s only yards from a high-speed highway: approaching from the west requires a u-turn followed by a sharp exit so keep your wits about you! The Gas Light (across the highway into Rockerville) is a true local eatery, friendly and fast. The nearest trail is The Flume, only a mile down the road. It’s a bit steep in places, but well worth it.
