Happy Trails Lodge is amazing! It is conveniently located to all of the Black Hills & attractions. It is beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need & very clean & maintained very well. We have stayed at this property 3 times as it perfectly meets our needs with 4 bedrooms & 2 baths. The hosts are very easy to work with & respond quickly to any questions. We plan to return for future stays!

Wedding at diamond sour

We were in the area for a wedding at the diamond spur event center. This was a perfect place to stay to be close to the wedding festivities. The house had room for all 7 of us. The kitchen counter was perfect for feeding the kids. Can’t imagine what the view would be in the summer.

We said we’d be back and we’ll return again!

We stayed at Happy Trails for the first time last February & after many trips to the Black Hills through the years & staying multiple different places, we knew we’d finally found “our place!” We love the location & ease of accessibility! It is very centrally located & you can be anywhere in the Hills with a short drive on great roads! The lodge is perfectly appointed & the kitchen is equipped with everything one could possibly need! The towels & bedfing are great as well! We did not have any problems with the WiFi or Roku TV. Yvonne is very responsive to any questions & so easy to work with! We are already looking forward to our next visit! Time to check the availability calendar!! 😍

Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023

About the host

Hosted by Yvonne Starostecka

We enjoy spending weekends at the house, relaxing, reading books, going biking on the Michelson Trail, going out to dinner or touring the local attractions and new places we haven't seen yet. The changing weather conditions are always exciting to watch. We love going rock hunting, hiking, skiing and tubing with our kids. At night we cook dinners, sip wine and play board games.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a house that was centrally located to all the activities, with a nice view of the hills and easy access to major roads. This location was ideal!
