Great experience, would recommend! Family of 6, 2 adults, 4 children ages 1-12. We stayed in a family suite with two beds and a pullout couch. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Bathroom was large. Kitchen and dining area was great to have. We stayed one night while we were passing through visiting the badlands. Great proximity to badlands, wall drug and the freeway. Very clean and sizable rooms. Staff was incredibly friendly. Great playground for the kids. We were only there from about 8p-9a. Would stay again!

Wow I don’t know where to start. So first off wow beautiful room, very spotlessly clean and smelled amazing. The bed was perfectly wonderful nice and soft great amount of pillows and finally a place that gives you more than just 2 towels and wash clothes. The bonus was the absolute amazing water softener wow was I ever happy. Now I will say it was very quiet which I love but it is the end of season so the place wasn’t packed.

We enjoyed our stay here to visit The Badlands National Park. Quick access to the park especially for a sunrise point. The staff is kind and helpful. The cabins are private, cozy bedding, soundproof. Complimentary popcorn and breakfast coupons for a nearby Saloon breakfast. A nice little store with essentials on site. It was a pleasant stay. Nice playground area for children to unwind.

This rental is a 100% win. Cabins are larger than a hotel room, very clean and comfortable. Rustic decor is beautiful. Check-in was smooth and efficient. I received a text this morning asking if they could do anything to make our stay better or if we needed recommendations for dinner. I would stay here again and highly recommend. Only 8 minutes from the entrance to Badlands National Park.

Such a cute little place to stay that was clean and comfortable. A little pricey, though. Our only complaint was the bed rails needed to be dusted. The headboard right below the mattress was extremely thick with dust.

Five stars all the way! Excellent accommodations! Clean, comfortable beds with a fun vibe! Well stocked store. The staff could not have been more friendly and accessible! They set the bar high for the rest of our “out west” vacation! Perfect location for visiting the Badlands NP. We would much rather be here than in the park itself overnight. Thanks again to the folks at BFI!

Individual cabins well located near Badlands National Park and Wall Drug. Comfy beds and cozy cabin decor. Our dog liked it too. Green space for pet relief was larger than most.
