Great views

The property was very clean. The beds are awesome. The downfall is there’s no group seating overall we had a great time. The best part with the horses that ran by every morning.

Great place to stay for a large group.

We enjoyed having several bedrooms and bathrooms. We would have liked a few more large bowls and pots for cooking since our group likes to cook most of our meals when staying somewhere. We had roughly 10 people there and it was difficult to get everyone around one table. Enjoyed the hottub and the outdoor space a lot. The internet was more than enough, it roughly 100 mbps download for reference. A plus for most of us was the lack of cell service, so we could disconnect and enjoy our time.

Beautiful cabin and beautiful location

We’ve stayed at this lodge twice now and our stay was fabulous both times. The accommodations are great! It is away from the hustle and bustle but close to Hill City and other attractions. We enjoyed our time here immensely. Highly recommend it.
