Highly recommended. Beautifully located, nice people, good rooms, comfy beds, nice lobby area. We…read morehad a really enjoyable time here , late in the season (no kids), quiet roads. Perfect, and we'll return I hope. Some things need attention: the food in the Latchstring Inn is very, very good. The service is less so, with young inexperienced staff. Wi-fi service is extremely poor and unreliable, even in the lobby areas. If you need the service - and I did - it can be highly frustrating. The Lobby Desk said it was because it was satellite, and was therefore less reliable. No, not so. Many such installations work just fine. Get these items improved will warrant the fifth star. Thanks for a great stay.

This hotel has everything you want in the outdoors. Footsteps from the lobby of the hotel you'll…read morefind trails that accommodate all ages and capabilities, that lead to the amazing water falls and moving river. If you stay here be sure to take the time to appreciate all the amenities this hotel offers. If there is one thing I could say that could be improved it's the WiFi, I admit it shouldn't matter when you're this close to nature but it's nice when sharing this experience with others. The Latchstring offers the best Carmel Roll I have had the pleasure to experience they offer a Cinnamon Roll as well but trust me... CARMEL ROLL! If you have room after be sure to dive into the many other large portion breakfasts. It's great fuel for a day of Vikings ATVing or whatever outdoor adventure you plan.

I literally signed up for yelp so I can talk about how much I enjoyed this place…read more My girlfriend and I stayed here on the night of September 24th during our week in the Black Hills. I don't think we could have asked for a better experience. The room was very cozy and warm with a wonderful bed. Having coffee on the balcony looking out at the mountains was magical the next morning. They do an amazing job making you feel welcomed. They gave us a tour and explained everything perfectly. The back garden area is delightful and inviting, and the hot tub was perfect after a day of driving. Then we were able to cozy up by the fireplace inside with a glass of wine. And the breakfast! Holy cow, it was delicious! We were served amazing cream cheese jalapeno omelettes with raspberry and cheese crostinis. The coffee was even above and beyond what you'd find elsewhere. On top of all that, the building is on the National Historic Register. It was built originally by the famed Hearst family. The entire family who runs the place was so kind and welcoming. I felt at home instantly. It was the perfect way to spend a night in Spearfish.

Breakfast, for me, was a healthy protein with a carbohydrate, berries (antioxidants), fresh-squeezed orange juice, and a hot drink of choice. The check-in/check-out process is well-explained. The bed was comfortable. The linens were comforting to promote a good night's sleep. The caretaker comes in daily to clean. I highly recommend this business whenever you come to Spearfish!

This is a great spot for a family vacation…read more We stayed in the Pioneer cabin, which was comfortable for our family of four. Some of the cabins are new and some are modernized older buildings. We loved the rustic interior of our cabin and, being used to camping, appreciated the basic kitchen and bathroom with shower. Wickiup Village is a short distance from a lot of great South Dakota attractions: Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse memorial, the Needles Highway, and the towns of Deadwood and Lead. You can even get to Wall Drug and Badlands National Park within two hours. There is a store and restaurant within easy walking distance, which came in handy. The staff was great and went out of their way to make sure everything was going well. This might not be the place for you if you're used to five-star hotels, but if you want to stay in a place with charm and unique character, don't pass up Wickiup Village.

We ordered takeout from this restaurant and so I cannot speak to the dining experience. We arrived around brunch time, and it was around then that people slowly began to trickle in on the weekend. Of note, this was the only restaurant that comes up when you search "restaurants" on google maps in Cheyenne Crossing in the Black Hills in case anyone has trouble finding it on google maps. In addition, there is no service here by the way. The restaurant is attached to the gift shop, and there is a small gas station right outside as well. We just ordered their Indian Taco, which is basically a huge piece of thick frybread with various nacho toppings such as ground beef, sour cream, tomato, lettuce, cheese, and salsa. While it costs about $15, the size of this Indian Taco can feed you at least 2-3 meals, depending on how hungry you are. The takeout was quick to come out, and while we waited, we enjoyed some of the table games (nail balancing game, marble game, etc).

Stay at DTL for: The DTL team members The views of Devils Tower... the only places to sleep with a view of the Tower are the KOA campsite and Devils Tower Lodge The climbing Meeting fellow guests, and the communal meals The quiet of the nature The clear skies and stars at night If we could award six stars we would WOW!! - - - We recommend you also plan to climb... you CAN do it... all four of us - Mom, Dad, two kids, climbed and you can climb, too! You'll be safely roped in with a great climbing team. - - - We discovered Devils Tower Lodge (DTL) in 2017; we planned a visit to Devils Tower as part of an "out west" vacation and we were intrigued by the chance to see Devils Tower / Bear Lodge, from the room; then-owner Frank invited us to also climb with them, and we did not expect we would climb, but we said "Yes" and then when we got there we did climb - all four of us, and we had a phenomenal time... the whole trip was great and Devils Tower Lodge was the favorite highlight of that great trip. This year, in 2025, we had a chance for an extended weekend trip and we quickly confirmed that we'd go... Wyoming, especially Devils Tower Lodge, is a favorite place that excites us and also provides quiet and tranquility. In 2017 we climbed 120 feet up, while safely roped in; this trip I just hoped to get at least a little higher this time, and with Curtis we did make it higher, about 150 feet up... We climbed at the same spot on the Tower - they can point it to you so you can see it from the Lodge, and you can see the Lodge from where we climb. We enjoyed the "beginner" climb; if you're more experienced you can likely pick other locations on the Tower to climb. We climbed the Everlasting and Broken Tree routes 4-5 times. Curtis was a great guide!! Our daughter also climbed separately with DTL members (incl. Carlos), and they made it all the way the top... we were so proud that she set a goal and achieved it! A tornado hit the tower in 2024; the tornado damage was evident; it looked like the tornado hit the tower straight on, as trees were felled on both sides; we later saw much more damage as we drove toward Gillette. Breakfast and Dinner... great food, lovingly prepared by Hannah and Glen... plenty to fill you up... The rooms - each is uniquely decorated and nice and quiet, with great views. Stargazing... skies so dark; airplane flights do happen, but they are infrequent; you will likely see several satellites - smaller lights moving much more quickly than planes... for the first 90 min or so after sunset. Sunsets are later, and longer/slower than back home in STL. Peaceful... so quiet and peaceful there... you don't miss any noise; you are relaxed. The views of Devils Tower / Bear Lodge are wonderful, and the owners - Rachel and Gabe - a wonderful couple, now parents, are welcoming and giving. Thank you, Curtis, Carlos, Hannah & Glen, and Rachel and Gabe! - - - Original Review - 2017, abbreviated - - - AWESOME! Go. Stay. Experience. You'll be soooooo glad you did!We had a 15 day vacation to 8 places in Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Utah and Colorado, and it was all amazing... this was out best-ever family trip for many reasons... and climbing Devils Tower with Gabe and Julius was THE BEST part of our amazing trip.If we could award six stars we would!... We reserved the cabin with two bedrooms... a full bed in each room and two futons in the large open room... amazing view of Devils Tower from the front door, from the nice and large patio deck, and from the panoramic window in the bathroom. ... The climbing was one of the highlights of our trip. They have a training room next to the main house where they fit you for shoes and the climbing harnesses, and where you learn that climbing is "not a series of pull-ups, which is often what they show in the movies," but is mostly legs pushing you upward, and where you put that into practice on a short rock wall. ... We climbed three routes from where we were, all starting right there at the same place, just a few feet left or right of the other. I truly thought we'd be happy if we climbed about 20 feet high, and lasted a full hour. As it was, all four of us climbed up the 100-foot route and the 115-foot route, and we were there for the entire six-hours that Gabe and Julius planned. ... Since coming home, we have been to our local pool, which has a 12-foot rock wall. This wall frustrates us because it requires so much upper body strength, and it is significantly more difficult that's climbing Devils Tower. Seriously... the rock wall at our pool takes more effort to climb than it did to climb Devils Tower.Thank you Frank, and the entire team at Devils Tower Lodge! ----- ----- -----
