We stayed in 4 cabins and all of us absoluetly loved it. As my parents are older, they didn't mind the steps because the view and cabin are worth the walk. It was nice to have an adjoining cabins as the other cabin held the "boys". We loved the large deck so all 11 of us could sit together comfortably.... More

What a great review you gave us. Thank you! I can imagine sitting on the deck with you, smelling the pine and watching the deer. Oh right, I live here. Thanks for enjoying my little part of the world! More

We wanted to go to the Buffalo round up and tried to get a room only a week before the round up. The day I called they had two cancellations so was able to get a 2-room. Was told it had 2 double beds and a fold out "couch". There was 4 of us (2 couples) so thought it would... More

Wow, were you ever lucky! That room was available for about an hour before you snatched it up! I'm glad you got it and I'm glad you were able to make it work. Isn't the Round-up something pretty awesome to see? To get a room of your choice, you would need to make your reservations the year before you plan... More

We stayed in one of the cabins, the lodge is on the main road but the cabins are set back a little and higher up on the hill. Our cabin was comfortable, didn't feel overlooked, and deer visited the grounds. Whilst the cabin had a useful little kitchen area (sink, fridge.microwave & coffee machine) there was no cutlery, crockery, mugs... More

Thank you for visiting us! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. If you upgrade to a cabin with a loft, you will have kitchen, with basic dishes, so you can cook a little on your next visit. Costs a bit more, but you will save by not eating out so much! More

We stayed here for the Run Crazy Horse half marathon. It is family friendly, has good choices for continental breakfast and is close to downtown. The cabins are in the bluff with cool rocks for the kids and dog. For a cabin this is a great place. Very clean! I gave it 5 stars based on what other cabin experiences... More

My husband and I came here to escape from Sturgis for a few nights during the rally and it was well worth it. The staff is very nice and accomodating. The cabin we stayed in was clean and very roomy. It is very peaceful and relaxing here. I would recommend this place to everyone!!!

So glad we could provide you with a break from the rumble, rumble; although, I would guess it was still a bit noisier than any other time of the season! Thanks for staying with us. See you next time! More

Our family of seven spent four nights in cabin 215. It was very clean and accomodations were quite comfortable. The pool was small but clean and served it's purpose. It is right on the highway but yet it is still quiet and lot's of wild life. Would definately stay here again.

Thank you for visiting us! At the west end of Custer City, I agree that our location is our best asset, nearby everything, but still quiet. You actually saw wildlife? That is so cool! So glad you enjoyed your stay! More

We just checked into our cabin. We thought it would be a cabin such as the one in the 'professional photos'. I was prepared for a single cabin nestled into the pines with a nice chair on the balcony where I could sit while drinking coffee and enjoy the trees. Instead we have a 'cabin' which is nothing more than... More

I apologize for your disappointment in the room you had. Were you in a lodge room? It doesn't sound like you were in a cabin. The lodge rooms are on street level and "in a row"; whereas, the cabins are up in the trees. I'd like to invite you back again some day. I would recommend one of the large... More

Our family of four stayed at a Rock Crest cabin for four nights. The cabin was very clean and is in a great location. Price was reasonable for the area. Pool was pretty modest but we didn't spend much time swimming. Cabins appear to be fairly new. A/C worked well. Staff was very helpful. We would stay there again. We... More

Thanks for visiting with us! The best thing about walking to the Purple Pie Place is you feel less guilty eating such a huge piece of pie, with ice cream! So glad you had great time! More
