The property was nice and the tent was well shaded and spacious. We werent allowed to have food in the tent which made it a little tricky for families with dogs that are staying multiple days

Our first impressions weren’t great-negative initial staff interaction. There were other minor issues along the way as well. The food was very good and as a rule the staff were great. I was able to provide feedback to the general manager directly and she handled the our concerns promptly and to our satisfaction. I would not hesitate to try them again.

Great glamping experience
We stayed in suite tent. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom was perfect. I liked the restaurant and social areas.

Between camping and glamping
A great experience as long as you know what to expect. Did not expect lack of electricity in tent, only small battery powered fans to beat the heat. Very rough terrain to tent, dangerous for elderly. Tent and bathroom clean, except for cowhide on the floor. Staff great, loved being able to bring our dog to dinner. She rated the stay “incredible”!

The people were great and the location was amazing.
Having to stoke the fire overnight was unexpected - but we are not big campers. For the money we paid for our stay, we expected more amenities even though it is marketed as glamping.

Not worth the price
Overall, I don’t think the place/amenities are worth it. I got a suite since I was on a long road trip and wanted to shower as well. The on-site dining is fantastic. If you have not gone camping before and you want to start off with “glamping” this might be a suitable option. My soap dispenser was broken and one of the fans didn’t work. I personally don’t think it’s worth the price. I was supposed to get a bandana for my dog which I never received either. The room was also very dirty. Items left over clearly from previous guests. Very disappointing.

A fantastic experience! Everything about this property was awesome. The staff were lovely, the facilities were spotlessly clean, the beds were super comfortable, and the whole property was amongst the trees, super peaceful and quiet! As a bonus, Mount Rushmore is visable from their viewing deck which was a wonderful spot for evening drinks and breakfasts! We would definitely stay again!

We had about 2 inches of water in our stove, it made it very hard to keep a fire going the first night, it had rained and we had standing water under the heat stove, we had housekeeping clean it up before we realized there was standing water inside the heat stove. Now it had rained very heavily before we got there but looking at the cap to the stove pipe, it was bent and damaged, allowing water to come into the stove. Also we were inundated with moths both nights after dark, that was memorable.
