Warm and comfortable on a cold night

It was -6 below zero outside and even my truck was having trouble staying warm. I opened the door to the room and it was a beautiful 70 degrees. Clean, spacious and a perfect resting spot after a long day. Will definitely be staying again.

Very nice and quiet. Love the creek in back with swings and chairs. Nice firepit and pavilion for BBQing. Close enough to Deadwood and surrounding areas without the crowds. We are planning our next visit already!

Beautiful property along a stream. Great staff that was prompt to respond to any issues we had, which was only one minor problem with the heater. Very helpful in providing us with ideas on must see attractions and best driving routes. Highly recommend this resort.
