The booking said "cabin" and it was a double wide trailer. The counter in the kitchen snagged and ripped my coat and cut my son's hand. It smelled. The fridge was dirty and so was the stove top. One of the toilets didn't flush. And I'm not sure the doors actually locked. Also there was just a spare door laying around. My kids were scared to stay there over night so we ended up leaving and booking at a better place. The Outpost refused to refund any of my money back. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

The price was right, but it was essentially a hunting shack with very little else. I would not recommend for solo female travelers. It is about a 20 minute drive outside of Pierre. It's a good deal, but it's essentially a bed and a shower.

We arrived late at night and left early in the morning. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, plenty of hot water, we have no complaints. We didn't get a chance to enjoy the location and the cafe as we were just a short overnight stay. We would stay again.

Terrible check in but owner made it right

When we showed up to check in, the reservation was not on their system. The owner or manager was not on sight so we had to wait for 1 hour for our cabin. The owner did show up and was very apologetic about it. He did get a cabin ready for us but it hadn’t been ready for us. I don’t think we will be using Hotels.com to book with them again.

It has potential, but the lodge i got was dirty. The chair in the corner had a bunch of questionable stains, there were dead flies in the bathroom window and in the bathroom light, whats hot water?, its very outdated, there was mold along the bottom of the shower, it seemed like the room was never mopped, and communication is lacking. I needed to have my stay extended, but i neber heard back. Went to the restaurant quite a few times to talk to someone before check out but they weren't open.
