Nice quiet area. Easy to get to. Shower is extremely small and one bed isn't as comfy as the other. I would stay here again very good for price.

LINDA

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
The cabin was clean and I could tell it had been recently updated. It was nothing fancy but nice. The staff was not friendly. She was very upset that I came to the door. I was supposed to have seen my text. There is not great service in the national parks so I did not know I had a text. This is not a fault of the property but the area around it is run down and deserted.

A little challenging

Newer rooms. Hard bed with rigid edges. I’m taller and my feet hand over and the edge of the mattress was incredibly hard. The shower is very tiny. There were flies and ants in our room. The provided fly swatter was useful. I liked the location but it was not a great nights rest unfortunately.

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 our cooler ice and keep all of our cooler foods cold. We love the room and would definitely stay again if we are back in the area.

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.

This was a great find on Expedia! SUPER CLEAN & a nice change from the big hotels. We comfortably sat on the front deck area when we got in & got to see a deer walk past us. Communication with owner was great for a very easy check in. Already shared photos with our friends back home as this was a great find.
