I thought the cabins were adorable and cozy. The pool and hot tub were clean and clear. The property was well maintained. The cabin room has a king size bed which takes up most of the space, so it is designed for people who travel with little amounts of luggage.

Perfect location for all of the attractions! Cute little town with several dining options! Front desk was friendly and accommodating! Our cabin was clean and surrounded by woods which we loved! The only thing is they are not queen beds wish we would have brought a blow up mattress for a little more sleeping comfort! They may have had cots available but we never asked!

With a 'cabinisque' feel to our room (1 bedroom / 2 full ). It was very comfortable. We even used the pull out - and with the firm foam it was actually quite comfortable as well. The staff was very friendly. It is close to town (walking distance if you want). Easy access to Rushmore, Jewel Cave, Custer St Park.

Nice place--better get a king bed.

Beds are NOT queens--they're full. Sleeper sofa mattress was pretty thin. AC blew very cold which was nice. Good grab-n-go breakfast.

The Crazy Horse Monument visit

Arrived fine, but found the office hard to locate at first. Cabin was great. Would have been good to better understand the cabin view before I booked but the sound was distant from traffic so ok. Parking was first come, first serve, but didn't pose a problem for us. The description said it included breakfast, but it was muffins, etc -- a to go meal only. Very clean, and we liked the deck very much for a quiet sit after sight seeing!
