Great location with a beautiful view, plenty of room for 5 adults to have their own space. The place is stocked with everything a family needs to have a comfortable stay. Would definitely book this location again!!
Very clean, spacious, nice, family-friendly. Great location as long as you don't mind being right across from a cemetery and on a mildly busy road (we didn't). Hot tub was also clean, they also had board games, nice deck. Only complaints were the towel rods lacking/lose and king and queen beds were pretty squeaky.
Very nice place, easy to get to from Hill City, can walk to town (except no sidewalks and a bit of a hill coming back), the traffic on the road in front was not bad; weather was perfect. Enjoyed a lot of what the Hill City area offered, including a hike to top of Crazy Horse.
The cabin was perfect for what we needed. We loved using the hot tub in the evening and sitting on the deck in the morning sunshine. Great location and easy access to town!
Great stay for the BBQ team while we were in town for competition. The location is perfect - just outside of town but very very close. Lots of space. Comfortable beds and the hot tub was great to relax in. Highly recommend this place. Definitely consider staying here.

What a beautiful and perfect place to stay! My sister got married in rockerville so everything worked out well! Thank you for such a great place to stay! We enjoyed it!
We enjoyed the proximity to town, while still quiet. The facilities, bath, shower, excellent! The kitchen is well stocked and beautiful. The deck relaxing. Hope to come back again!
We stayed at the lodge for a bachelorette weekend! It was a great fit for my friends and I. Would highly recommend. Plenty of space, good common space to gather, and close to town.
This cabin was great. It was the right amount of room for the 8 of us. We were able to navigate to the trails easily.
