I loved this place.

It was a pity I was only here one night because I loved this place. Beautiful location surrounded by forest and with a view of Mount Rushmore from the room too. I felt at peace there. Dinner at the pub there was reasonably priced too and it was lovely to sit outside on the verandah enjoying both the meal and the view. There was also a good choice of breakfast which was included.

We enjoyed our stay. It was close to town, but felt to be miles away. The grounds were large with a walking trail and firepit. The lobby is beautiful and check-in was quick. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
