Great place to stay when visiting the Badlands

Perfect quiet location, close to Wall and the Badlands. The room was clean & updated and the kitchenette was perfect to refreeze cooler ice and keep all of cooler foods cold. We love the room and would definitely stay again if we are back in the area.

Quiet, updated, nice deck in back and seating in front. For a traveler for roughly the same price as the chains in Wall or rapid city, you get a lovely quiet place that’s a bit unique but still with all the necessities including a sweet kitchenette. Much preferable - lovely and quiet and very friendly hosts.

Jayne, the host, was wonderful and attentive. The room was immaculately clean, and had all the amenities we needed. The kitchenette was perfect for our needs. There are very reasonably priced washers and dryers in the building across the street. Definitely recommend if you want a comfortable, clean, inexpensive place to stay near Badlands.

Pleasant surprise

The phone call I received prior to check-in was unexpected and I was thoroughly delighted! Friendly, secluded, charming are just a few ways to describe the Wagon Wheel! One of the best values around! Highly recommend!
