We loved our stay here. Great room . Fabulous authentic place . Dinner at Wagon Wheel (not to be missed, especially if you get to chat with Jerry the owner ). It’s a one horse town and we loved it the more because of that . Plus the Badlands are like nothing else on Earth

I stayed in a town called Institute, SD. Had two bars and a gas station. Was right outside the trailhead to a section of the bad lands. Was a great time and my room did everything I wanted. Beautiful sunsets and rises.

Definitely an old property but clean and very comfortable. Nice staff. A good value. Bring your own food, though! There’s nowhere but a convenience store to eat or buy food anywhere nearby!

This property is rustic, but the rooms are clean. A little updating to the furniture and bathroom areas would help. Breakfast is not included. There is a small store and options are available for breakfast at a cost. We would stay here again because it is so close to Badlands NP
