I loved the room with high ceiling, beautiful fireplace, great scenery from the deck, and thd carpet was a great touch to make it cozy. Check in/out was very easy. The two things i wasnt thrilled about was the stains on the tub and that the staff weren't available in person. Very comfortable stay and would highly recommend!!

One nighter
It was a nice quiet place. Close to the lake which was nice. I had my dog with me and they didn't charge a crazy amount for having him with. The TV was a little bit difficult to maneuver. I think there were issues with the remote. It could have had a few more amenities. Tissue hair dryer. Just the little things that make you stay a little better. Overall it was a nice place. Check in went smoothly.

Don't waste your money at this resort.
Rooms are in very poor condition. Furniture is old/broken/not comfortable at all! Linens were stained and ripped. Had hole in the wall right by my bed, water was only luke warm and smelled.

Decent place to stay if your over tired.
We found this little gem when we came to Hill City to ride sxs with another group. Easy to find, about a mile out of town. Parking a truck and trailer was not convenient at all. Office was in disarray and I was worried about the condition of the room after being in the office area but the room was pleasant. Overlooks the lake so that was nice, fireplace in the room but we never could get it to come on. Pretty dated room and bathroom but was fine for two nights after riding all day. Negatives that we couldn’t over look: no hairdryer in the room, beds were not comfortable. We would stay here again as there aren’t many options in this town but I would come better prepared.

Really cute little place! Quiet, super friendly staff. Cabins are simple and functional. Nothing luxurious, so if roughing it with basic human necessities isn't your thing, then stay elsewhere. We loved it and will be back!
