Jayne, the host, was wonderful and attentive. The room was immaculately clean, and had all the amenities we needed. The kitchenette was perfect for our needs. There are very reasonably priced washers and dryers in the building across the street. Definitely recommend if you want a comfortable, clean, inexpensive place to stay near Badlands.

I found this motel by researching the Internet. We wanted a unique experience rather than a chain hotel. We did not want to stay in Rapid City nor Wall. Affordability was also a factor. This is a family owned and operated motel. The town is very quiet with minimal amenities, so keep that in mind. That was actually exactly what we were looking for! Jane was extremely helpful and made sure our stay was restful and pleasant. Please support more family owned motels like this one!!

My wife and i really enjoyed our stay here. I was a bit skeptical at first because it felt like in the middle of nowhere but i was very surprised. The unit is not like your other motel/hotel rooms. Its really set up like a cabin which comes with a mini kitchen unit, fridge, bed, large tv, good bathroom and great air conditioning. What else can we ask for! Easy check in instructions as well. Highly recommended!!

A Master Carpenter’s Dream! Walls and ceiling were made of nicely finished plywood. Bathroom 6 panel door is made of solid pine. Unit looks brand new. Spacious enough for 2 queen beds, though we would have preferred a king bed and desk. Nicely furnished with full sized fridge, microwave, 2 burner stove, dishes, pots and pans. Away from I-90 road noise.

Great place to stay when visiting the Badlands
Perfect quiet location, close to Wall and the Badlands. The room was clean & updated and the kitchenette was perfect to refreeze cooler ice and keep all of cooler foods cold. We love the room and would definitely stay again if we are back in the area.

It was a perfect little place for what we needed. Stayed one night on the way to our destination and because it worked so well decided to stay again on our way back home. It was in a very small but very quiet and safe felling town. There really isn't anything around so the kitchen came in handy and had everything we needed. No fancy amenities but everything was clean, everything worked, and it was comfortable and quiet. Would recommend!

The room was very cute but needed a table or desk or something to put things on. The kitchenette was great, but since there was no table we had to sit on the bed (or chair) to eat.

Quiet, updated, nice deck in back and seating in front. For a traveler for roughly the same price as the chains in Wall or rapid city, you get a lovely quiet place that’s a bit unique but still with all the necessities including a sweet kitchenette. Much preferable - lovely and quiet and very friendly hosts.
