The cabin was very big and good for our group to be all together. The hot tub was a nice amenity. We enjoyed the UTV trails that were very close. We would surely stay again.
Very nice location, which was probably our favorite part. Bummed that the hotub was not filled, so we were unable to use it, and some of the windows did not have screens so we could not have them open so it did get a little warm at times. Overall though good stay!
Red Dog Lodge was very comfortable and scenic and close to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Black Hills attractions. We appreciated the air conditioning our first couple of days and the gas fireplace to take the chill off our last day. Highly recommend!
Very well-equipped, hot tub was wonderful and in great shape. Ample bedding and clean. Had a great stay. A very small suggestion - it would be nice to have a couple screens on doors or windows.

Great house
House was great. Had enough space for our party of 9. Clean easy to get to close to town great get away place. Highly recommend.
The home was a great size for our group. We all enjoyed staying and relaxing after being out all day. It’s very close to all the places we had planned to go and we always came home to some deer out on the lawn. We also loved the trail just out front for a nice run. Thank you!
Very nice setup.... with the loft and bedrooms. Great outdoor space, firepit and hot tub. Grill did not work very well so that was disappointing. Location to Hill City was very convenient.
