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.

This is a cozy little place. It is nice but be aware the cabins are small. Has a very neat little tap room that is quite fun. The owners are very sweet and welcoming. Very easy access to Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse.

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.

Black Elk lodge is in a great location, and clean and maintained to a very high level. But beyond that, Lora and Dan are so helpful. They helped with suggesting scenic drives to take, sites to see, places to eat, as well being great people to visit with. Thanks Lora & Dan, we'll be back definitely!
