Family Trip
We stayed in a newer cabin, which was very well stocked with everything we needed. The location was wonderful, as we were in the middle of all the activities in the area. The only improvement I would make would be breakfast. Other than that, I would stay every time I visited the area!

My husband and I stayed 2 nights as we went to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, the Badlands, Bear Country USA and more fun things. This was a great location close to everything. We would stay again!

This was our first stay at Rockerville and it won’t be our last. The location of the place was outstanding and allowed us to easily drive to some of our long time favorite attractions. I would definitely recommend this lodge!!

Excellent Room @ Cabin
It’s valuable experience me and my family had. It’s great town property. It’s in the middle of the town and easily accessible to Walmart Gas Station and Parks.
I would recommend this Place to the Travelers and Passerby.

Perfect for the Black Hills
Great place for our short needs. Staff was awesome. Continental breakfast was lame but I don’t usually eat breakfast so not a huge deal.

Great little motel south of Rapid City. It’s just a quick drive to Rushmore and just a little further to Custer. Owners are very friendly and accommodating. The community gas grill and covered front porch with tables allowed us to save money and eat better by making our own meals. Would definitely stay here again.

good location and price
Location and price was great. Old style motel. Great to have a kitchen in room, amenities were very limited as far as kitchen supplies. Bed was uncomfortable for me, defiantly need new mattresses. Comp breakfast was toast fruit, cereal and coffee.

The staff was wonderful. Our rooms were very small. We had 4 adults in a 2 bed room and we could hardly move around with all our luggage. A hotel room has way more room. The beds were not very comfortable. Otherwise, everything else was great.
