Whether you’re looking for a place to rest or ready to get out explore the Black Hills, we’re here to assist you. Our family-friendly cabins are 3.9 miles outside of Hill City, South Dakota, and centrally located to all the favorite Black Hills attractions.
With three unique, custom-built cabins to choose from, you’ll find the perfect place for a large gathering of friends or a place to create a memory-filled family reunion. From conferences, to retreats or small wedding groups, rented together, our cabins can accommodate up to 53 people.
If you enjoy 4-wheeling, there are over 3000 miles of National Forest trails in the Black Hills just waiting to be explored.
For bicycling and hiking enthusiasts, we are located next to the Mickelson Trail, near mile 64.9. Enjoy a serene walk through the aspen trees or bike the trail – we’ll even loan you a bike!
Our comfortable lodging offers you a chance to kick your shoes off, relax and unwind or lace up your boots and go on an adventure!

Pool is for Mickelson Trail Lodge guests only.


What our Friends are Saying . . .
Social Distancing and Terrain Therapy in 2020
For the past 3 months our "pod" of 9 has been able to be together, but some plan needed to be put in place to young people who have had so much taken away from them. This was the perfect place where we could all be together, cook, enjoy each other, watch a lightning storm under a protected third story hot tub, and gather around the beautiful outdoor fireplace at night. Terrain Therapy is our mantra and the entire stay was healing for all of us. Just another point, the location is perfect for those that don't like being lost in back roads and also in the center of the Hills allowing a great opportunity to explore.

Family Vacation
We stayed here to celebrate the folk’s 40th wedding anniversary. We had 6 adults and 5 kids, ranging in age 7 months to 14. The place was great! Enough room for everyone! Nice and clean and had everything we needed for our stay!

Did Not Disappoint
Stayed four nights in this beautiful home that exceeded my expectations. Seven of us total so everyone had their own bedroom. The photos don’t do it justice. House is bigger than it looks.. All questions were answered quickly. We lucked out with the weather the first weekend of November. We were able to take advantage of eating outside, the hot tub, the bikes and fire pit. Plenty of room for everyone to sprawl out. Living spaces on all three floors was a huge plus. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of towels. Very nice area five minutes from Hill City. Quiet area in November but I bet it’s hopping in the summer. Would love to return sometime.

Perfect Large Group Cabin!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this cabin. We come with a large group of friends for a 4-wheeling trip. 7 couples, everyone has a private bedroom and then 3 bathrooms. Plenty of room for hanging out! Lots of room to park our ATVs and trailers. Larry is very nice and available to help with anything you need! We highly recommend this place!

Very Good Time!
We had a great time with our family. There were 13 of us and we had no trouble at all fitting into the cabin. Spending time by the fire pit and enjoying the stars was especially enjoyable. The Location, The Cabin, The Staff... Everything was perfect!

Great Family Getaway
This is a great property for large families. Lots of space to be together but also allows you to have personal space when needed. Nice relaxed setting. Adults and kids all loved the pool too. Overall great experience.

Great Place for a Large Group
It was a great place for our large group. Close to Mount Rushmore and all of the other attractions in the area, yet far enough away to have peace and quiet. We only stayed one night, but could have stayed there for a whole week. The kids loved the Foosball table. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub, but would have if we had more time. They communicated well with us, especially when we realized that we left a phone at the house. They called and told us they had found it and even mailed it to us.
