Overall was great! Great proximity to everything in the Hills! Couple minor things—road noise detracts from overall ambiance! The one Small bathroom won’t work for larger individuals! We loved the Dairy Twist next to the property! Great stay!

Great family spot in the middle of it all!

The cabin was a bit smaller than we expected, but it was the perfect spot for us to rest after exploring the sites of the Black Hills. It was close to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, the 1880 Train, Bear Country, the Reptile Gardens and lots of other great family adventures. The cabin was clean and fully furnished. Our boys loved sleeping up in the loft.

Perfect in every way!!!

From booking online to check in it was a smooth transaction. The cabin was perfect for my husband and I and another couple. There is more space for kids to stay in a loft upstairs or on the couch. The cabin was spotless and smelled good. We had plenty of room in the cabin and so nice to have two restrooms with plenty of towels and washcloths. There is plenty of seating in the dining room and living room. The beds were super comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and more. They also offer two grills. One propane and one charcoal. We had a very nice porch to relax on. And a firepit out back. They sell wood conveniently located at the office. They have a small playground for kids with a slide, swings and more. They have volleyball net, basketball court, corn hole boards and more. They have thought of everything. It is well taken care of and family owned. Another plus! you can enjoy the Dairy Twist onsite offering hamburgers, ice cream and so much more. We can’t wait to come back and stay in the future.

Perfect place to stay for exploring

Our family of 6 (4 kids 13 and under) stayed here for 4 nights. We were able to conveniently explore many different locations from a somewhat central location. The open space out back was great for relaxing and for the kids to play. Dairy Twist was fun to walk to and eat at multiple times.

Thanks so much for the great accommodations. Your resort is lovely, safe, clean, quiet and very family friendly. Cabin #4 was perfect for us with the loft for the kids. And Dairy Treat is amazing!
