Absolutely a terrific place to stay. Great atmosphere, wonderful places to eat, an area with a tremendous history and the fishing was fantastic. Very centrally located to visit all the Black Hills locations.
Doug and Mary run a top notch place! We will stay with them again when we visit the Black Hills.
