We loved how quiet and serene this lodging was from all the business of Custer. We got all the same experience but less costly and much calmer cabin. The facilities were great- all the convenience of a modern hotel with the charm of a real family run business. We will be returning again and staying here for sure!

Centrally located

The staff was great, property has amazing views and wildlife around to watch. It is centrally located between sturgis/ deadwood and Mount Rushmore. We stayed over a holiday weekend so I’m sure the price is elevated due to that. iI would not pay what I did again for the cabin. Bedrooms are extremely small, not much room for moving around in them. Great if you’re traveling with dogs.

Dated, no wi-fi

Dated and in need of some repair, but a nice little vacation getaway. There is a WiFi network, however it is essentially unusable during waking hours so tell your kids to put the phones away.
