Pros & Cons
Pros
Classic retro resort hotel. Cabins clean, comfy and roomy. Rooms 16-22 have lake views.
Staff are exceptional. The staff are very friendly and the service stellar. Staff polite and responsive.
If you're looking for a place that's conveniently located in the center of everything black hills, this is it. There is a great bike trail that goes right by the resort along a river, and a great kid-friendly hiking trail is right there.
Cons
The location is beautiful - the one redeeming factor. I'm sure the newer facilities are nice but they need to update some of the older units before building new stuff. Not everyone flies in.
Just a hotel closet. Get a dresser or 2. You know how the say that you should replace your mattress ever 8 years?
Advertised free use of paddle boats for guests but didn't take advantage of it. Lake is a shallow (less than a foot) artificial pond with ducks and geese.
