We stayed in a cabin for two nights. The location is perfect if you want to see the black hills, Mount Rushmore and Custer state park. Our cabin was perfect, absolutely adorable and spotless. The owners, Lora and Dan, we’re so friendly and accommodating. They treated us like family. When we come back to the beautiful area, we will absolutely stay here again.

Cons: The water from the tap smelled of sulphur and was off color due to iron in the water. It was not drinkable, smelled really bad and had a brown film.
Our stay was not great. Our cabin overlooked the RV area so we had to keep our drapes closed for privacy. The drapes were dark and heavy, so our small cabin was always dark. Our cabin was also very noisy with traffic noise as we were right off a busy road. Worst part was the tap water had a terrible sulphur smell and left a brownish film on everything. I cannot recommend this lodging.

Convenient, clean hotel

Pros: Almost everything!
Cons: A/C in the Cavalier Room
Location: Storybook Land is about 5 miles away. A great park for the family!
Very clean rooms, very courteous staff. The only issue we had was that the breakfast room, Cavalier Room, was too warm for our family gathering. The A/C could not keep up - it was very warm at 4:00 as we set up before our event at 7:00 p.m.. The front desk said they couldn't do anything about it but I don't know if anyone actually came in to look at the thermostat. Other than that, the pool was very clean and it's a great facility. Comfortable beds and pillows! Breakfast was good, too.
