We had a great stay here! Maria took good care of us when we arrived and upgraded us to a larger cabin when we realized the one I had booked wasn’t quite big enough. Beautiful view. Great service. We will be back!

Everything was clean. Staff was very friendly. Wish they serve breakfast earlier than 7 am. We had to travel at least 30 minutes to any of the events. Also the room could use a kuerig instead of a coffee pot. Overall the stay was good.

Great property! We loved the private cabin (#209). Everything was very clean. Also - we greatly appreciated the fact that they allowed us to shorten our stay by 2 days due to unforeseen circumstances that kept us in our previous destination for 2 extra days. They didn’t have to be flexible, but they were and they refunded us 2 nights. In all honesty, we wish we could’ve stayed the 4 nights we originally planned on staying. Loved this property!

My wife and our grand daughter stayed 2 nights in one of the duplex cabins. This was our third time to stay at the Rock Crest. The check in lady was very nice and furnished us enough quarters for the coin laundry on premises. The room was nice and clean, the beds were comfortable. We made our own coffee and did not go to the breakfast which was offered. The family in the other duplex were very nice folks. The cabin was convenient to Custer State Park and Mount Rushmore. My grand daughter enjoyed the animals in the park, bison, prairie dogs, deer, pronghorn antelopes, wild turkeys, and most of all the begging donkeys in the park and also the deer walking around our cabin which she fed and talked to.
