Clean, comfortable, convenient

The cabin was super clean and comfortable, in a very pretty location that's convenient to a lot of Black Hills day trips. We stayed in the off-season, so not much going on, but I imagine the taproom and community bonfire during high season would be great. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Phenomenal

What a great place to stay. This was easily the best place we stayed at during our time in the Hills. Lora and Dan are great hosts and made our stay even better. Make sure you spend some time in the taproom as they have some local brews to choose from. We can’t wait too stay here again.

Best stay ever!

We stayed at one of Dan and Loras cabins and we loved it! The cabin was very clean and in the perfect spot for a peaceful stay. They gave us a great dinner recommendation, which we tried and loved! They are very nice and make you feel at home. I would 100% recommend the Black Elk Resort to anyone looking for a nice getaway in the black hills.
