Did not stay here. Just ate in the restaurant. Had the bison meatloaf, mashed potatoes, baked beans, and cornbread. Server was good, but the food was not. The cornbread was tough, and the entrée, potatoes, and beans tasted like the entire salt shaker had been emptied into them. Don't know what's going on. I love this place, but the last two times I've been here have been very disappointing. 😥
Went on a tour bus excursion. We ate lunch off the buffet. It was good and had a variety of food. I will say the spices in the chili over powered the flavor of the Buffalo. The gift shop had some nice stuff too.
Really beautiful Resort. Beautiful views of the Black Hills. Everything is very close by. Very nice porches to sit on and enjoy the views. Definitely take the Jeep Safari ride. Definitely your worth your time. Very many former president have stayed here.
Super cool. Animals walk eight up to your car. The lodge was a nice place with a good all you can eat bar.
Loved staying here at the end of November for my bighorn sheep hunt in the park! Rooms were awesome and friendly service! Awesome location.
