Our cabin was really nice and set on top of a little hill with a beautiful view of the mountain and trees. Its not the newest and shows a bit of age, but they had every convenience you need and the temperature in the room was very comfortable. I usually have trouble sleeping in hotels, but I slept real well on this firm bed. It is a little North of the main street, but it seems too noisy out there, and this cabin isn't far at all, so I would choose this place again. It is a good size for 2 adults and 2 kids, but 4 adults might be a stretch. We had dinner here and it was all delicious. I had the apple gorgonzola salad, which was a generous serving and very fresh. The kona ribeye was very good and tender. OMG, the sweet potato casserole was awesome! My son's mashed potatoes were the creamiest we have ever had. We also got to try a shish kabob that had big chunks of bison, elk, and venison. I really appreciate the staff, here. Management was so gracious to accommodate our late arrival and did it with a smile. Our waiter was very helpful with choices and so friendly. Wonderful stay! Next time I will have to try their orange chicken because so many locals were ordering it!

Historical cabin

The cabin I was staying certainly had seen tons of events! It looks super tired, old and dark! It's kinda creepy. I mean: who and why place a rocking chair inside a dark curb that is suppose to be a closet??? And also there were black and white photos of 23 mens and a blurry dog in front of the presidents faces of Mt. Rushmore, staring right into the bed. Overall, a historical stay. Food on the bright sunny side was amazing!! I can't say no to fish for breakfast and it was super!

What a fun experience it is to stay here. You really get to staying in a cabin feel but have an updated nice bathroom. All wooden inside, smells like a cabin, but still quiet and well air conditioned. This facility was well maintained and the restaurant is wonderful.

Overall, a good stay but not excellent. The location is right off the highway so there’s no avoiding the road noise. That said, we appreciated the convenience of being able to order from the on-site restaurant online and bring the food back to our cabin. The cabin itself was cozy but could use a quick walk-through from maintenance. Loose doorknobs and wobbly railings need tightening. It would also be nice to have a coffee table or footrest in the living room to make the space more comfortable.
