We enjoyed our stay. It was close to town, but felt to be miles away. The grounds were large with a walking trail and firepit. The lobby is beautiful and check-in was quick. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Beautiful location We arrived at 7am tired of a long 12 hour overnight drive and asked if we could check in earlier we were given accommodations and a great hot breakfast. We were traveling with our 1 year old and this was the best experience. Thank you.

Very nice property and location. Some things are a little dated but well worth it. Make sure to go out after dark and see part of Mount Rushmore lite up.

The property was pretty basic for the price. The weather was bad when we were there, maybe the grounds are better in the sunshine. It’s almost impossible to access any room without climbing some steps which is a pain with luggage.
