“Best place to stay in the area for the price. We were there during Stugis and was tucked away from most of the noise but was in walking distance of everything. Short drive to Rushmore. Clean room, hot shower, friendly service. My only advice is to call to make your reservation as we booked online and they couldn’t find it but we were in luck and they had 1 room left. Definitely happy with our choice.”

“Booked through Expedia with a cheap price. The owner is super friendly and warmhearted, helped us planning the route and recommended places to see. Room has big comfortable bed, had a good night sleep. Would definitely stay again if coming back to visit the area!”

“This is exactly what you hope for when traveling to a vacation spot. It’s quiet, cute and honestly reminds you of the bungalows in Dirty Dancing. It’s family owned and the staff/family is an absolute joy to work with. We had a quick minor issue with the AC going out and the owner sprung into action to fix the minor issue very quickly. It’s pet friendly so make sure to bring Spot or Rex lol . The location is ideal! Walking distance to dozens of local restaurants and tourist attractions. If you’re feeling adventurous I have to recommend the helicopter sight seeing tours! It will give you a true once in a life time experience. You’ll see the rolling black hills, the national forest and not to mention Mount Rushmore! Highly recommend especially if you’re tired of the commercial hotels with basically the same amenities but double the cost. Even with Sturgis happening right around the corner they were able to book our last min reservation without hesitation.”
