This motel far exceeded my expectations. All the amenities you would get from a mid range chain is here. Coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator hair dryer, shampoo etc. Continental breakfast in morning. Love the cabins,wooden furniture, comfortable beds, and decorative details. read more

This is a clean, well-maintained place to stay. The decor is very particular: up-north woods comes to mind, with pine-paneling and log furniture. But it's quaint and clean and very convenient to the Badlands. My husband and I were on our way from Pennsylvania to California and we decided to stop here overnight so we could see the Badlands as part of our roadtrip. What happened the next morning left a really sour taste in our mouths. After loading the car, turning in the keys, and departing for the Badlands, the front desk called about 45 minutes after we left. The woman on the phone informed us that the manager had gone into the cabin and found a broken wastebasket. Confused, I asked for more information: it was by the bathroom sink, had been broken into pieces, and was one of the "nice ones with animals on it." We hadn't broken any wastebaskets, but if we had, we certainly would have been willing to pay for the damage. She asked if we'd already left Wall, and even though we were already 30 minutes into the Badlands, we turned around to go back to the front desk to see the wastebasket. As I was so furious, my husband did all the talking. The manager came out and talked to us over a ceramic or resin wastebasket with relief animals on it. Neither of us even recalled seeing that wastebasket in the room; instead, there was just a plain, white, plastic wastebasket. The manager said she had to assume it was us because it was whole yesterday when she cleaned the room before our arrival and we didn't report it broken. We told her that we certainly hadn't broken it - that it had to have been done deliberately and we're not into destroying others' property. She even said that she'd found it empty, with the bag taken out of it... even though we had put a few plastic cups and napkins in it before we left. In the end, after two or three minutes of my trying not to pop a vein and my husband's calm denials, she said she wouldn't charge us for the wastebasket since she didn't have any proof. If seems like a good scam if you think about it, though. Your client has out-of-state plates and has either already finished with the Badlands and is getting on his or her way east or west on 90 at 75 mph. Or, your client has just driven down into the Badlands, paid a $15 entrance fee (which allows re-entry, to be clear), and eager to see the beautiful sights. Either way, they probably won't find it worth it to make the 1 to 1.5 hour round-trip back to the front desk to see a broken wastebasket and will just agree to pay for it. Rinse, lather, repeat. Of course, we don't have any proof, either. But, had either of us broken that wastebasket, we would have been happy to pay whatever it cost... $25 or $75 for our negligence or destruction. But to be maligned for something we didn't do was just beyond the pale. Who knows? Maybe she pulls this kind of thing three times a week (an extra $75+/week probably goes a long way in a place like Wall, and I'll bet you don't get much in the way of repeat customers)? Maybe she wanted to make a quick buck from some big-city out-of-towners? Or maybe she doesn't like interracial same-sex couples (who didn't flaunt their relationship status, but don't go to any great lengths to hide it either)? In any case, if you decide to stay here, take a few photos of your room before you leave... and make sure to get a few of the wastebasket. read more

Wow more than I expected. Rustic setting great people working there and great price. Would do it again.

This place is awesome! We had our small wedding reception here and it was just perfect. The rooms are clean and cozy. And the covered grill area made for a great spot to bbq and relax. It turned out beautiful and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. read more

Very quant cute cabins. Right outside of the Badlands National Park which we enjoyed very much. The cabins were very clean & a perfect stay. Highly recommended. read more

So cute, so comfy, so convenient! This place was a little hard to find - it doesn't come up on some search engines, but well worth seeking out. It's right off the Interstate but does not feel like it once you are inside the cabins. They are adorable and comfortable. The pricing is beyond reasonable considering everything else in the area. Didn't stay for breakfast, but it looked like it would be crazy good. There's a convenience/fireworks store on the premises for all your needs. You also get free ice with your fireworks purchase at the store, which I find kind of hilarious as well as useful (especially if you are clumsy like me). If I'm going hiking in the Badlands for a few days or stopping at Wall Drug for the night, I would absolutely stay here! read more

Very quiet. Very friendly. Wood cabins with all the amenities. Stove, fridge, pans, flatware, plates, etc. Air conditioning, comfortable beds. Close to downtown Wall but away from all the traffic and noise. Beautiful views. Calm. Peaceful. read more

This was a terrific place to stay. We stayed in the cabin with a kitchenette. Very nicely appointed and a great value. The cabins are clean, with gorgeous paneling. Decorating is tasteful and well done. Upkeep is great. The view is very nice. The facility is great for families or groups with a nice central picnic area with grills and a play area for kids. Not to mention all this at a great value. They offer a continental breakfast as well. If you are visiting the bad lands, I highly recommend staying here. It is hard to beat. Close to Wall Drug. read more

Stayed one night before the 'Summer season" and got good rate. We called ahead based on a review I read here on yelp. this is a really nice clean place, wife loved the décor. I would come back. The staff wasn't bad like some of the other reviews, not overly friendly but certainly not rude. Maybe they have new people working there. photos are accurate. Free breakfast is meh, or they would have gotten 5 stars. read more

Awesome!! Wanted to wake up and catch Sunrise inside Badlands Nat Park. What a hidden gem I found! The cabin was so clean and nice. They have Tipis too. Campfires at night. Only open seasonal, I will return! read more

$132 a night. Clean. Aesthetically pleasing interior. Free ice. The cabins are laid out trailer park style. Don't expect rustic experience. Definitely would stay there again. read more

Wished we had more time at Frontier Cabins. Lovely cabin - clean, adorable, so comfortable, lots of room for 4, well stocked kitchen. Lovely porch to view the plains. Loved that they offer nights in tee pees plus have a lovely play set for younger kids. read more

Perfect! Opened the door to the cabin and was pleasantly surprised! We only stayed one night but would have lived to stay much longer! We will be back if we are ever in the area again. read more

We just stayed here and the cabins are adorable! Not only were they very well appointed but they were very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here. All of the cabins were utilized while we were there and the place was incredibly quiet. A real gem!!! read more

VERY CLEAN! Cute retro cabins, but with modern conveniences.... flatscreens, Satellite TV wifi, A/C, playground, hot tub. Cute decor, HUGE comfy bed, and above all, clean rooms. Close to Wall Drug, Interstate, and shops. They have gas grills to cook your own food (Which you may want to do, because the restaurant we tried downtown was terrible- but that's not the Frontier Cabins' fault !) Nice, Friendly staff. Would stay here again and recommend to anyone else. They could probably stock a bit more food/beverage options in their store/office would be my only suggestion. But you can just go down to the gas station a block away if you need some chips, etc. read more

Clean, spacious, cozy, good price and the log cabin decode was right out of the catalogue. I would absolutely stay there again if I was ever in the area. Very close to one of the the Bad Lands Park entrances. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's located right off the freeway. Although, it wasn't that big of a deal. Never the less, had it been located a mile or two away from the freeway I would of given it 5 stars. read more

We loved everything about this place. We had a road view cabin that we wanted to change and that was no issue at all. Clean and very rustic, we loved every minute of it. They also have the largest collection of fireworks that I have ever seen, aisle after aisle of boom! read more

These cabins are charming! My spouse and I were traveling from Chicago and booked a reservation with a different local hotel. After 12 hours of driving we show up and they lost our reservation and EVERY other hotel around was booked. After calling a dozen other places we almost accepted our fate that we were going to have to sleep in the car. We find Frontier Cabins here on yelp and sure enough the friendly voice over the phone has ONE cabin available. We scurry over there as fast as we possible could with the expectation that this will be a below average place- BUT HEY, we do not have to sleep in the car. We arrive and are greeted by Paulie (the friendly voice over the phone). We tell her what happened and she explains she only has the kitchenette cabin left. We are like "DONE- where do we sign?" Because of our situation she gave us a heck of a deal. We get cabin number one and walk in and we are shocked. It is above and beyond what we expected. Clean and spacious with all the little comforts from home (fridge stove, coffee machine, full bath and air conditioning ) we not only had a kitchen but living room area with a couch. The best part- less than what we would have paid at the crappy place we originally booked at. A special thanks to Paulie. We arrived around 11:30pm and still she was empathetic and very accommodating even when a lot of others at that time of night would not be so kind. read more

Great place! Clean, beautifully decorated cabins that accommodated our family of 6. Had a great playground for the kids to play on as well. Perfect for our trip to the Badlands. read more

This place is great!!! We had taken a road trip from Minneapolis to the Seattle area and stayed here along our journey. This is probably my favorite place we stayed on this trip. We had a little kitchenette and there was a BBQ outside. We grilled steaks and watched a beautiful sunset. Very cute place and the entrance to the Badlands National Park is just down the road. read more

This has become my favorite place I've ever stayed on a vacation. My daughter and I were taking our spring vacation and decided to stay for at least part of the trip in cabins. I had found a listing for this location online and we booked a couple of nights. I wish we could have stayed longer. We arrived 3 hours before check-in so I could give them my credit card info (my cellphone was giving a really bad connection so I wouldn't have been able to give it over the phone). When we arrived they said we could go ahead and check in early since the cabin was ready. They let us know that since it was very early in the season (they had just opened for the season less than a week before) they didn't have the breakfast up and running yet so they knocked $9.00 a night off our bill so we could go out to breakfast. We had reserved a "Master Queen" cabin which comes with a queen sized bed and a couch with a pull out bed and made our way over to see what it actually looked like. After several days sleeping in Holiday Inn Expresses and Howard Johnson's we were thrilled to open the cabin door and see a room that actually had a personality. All the furniture was made of wood or themed appropriately for a cabin. The TV was hung on a wall mount up and out of the way so it didn't stick out as not belonging in such an environment. The area was very quiet and the bed and couch were very comfortable, letting us sleep much later than we usually do on vacations. The very best thing that happened, though, was after we left. After a seven hour drive my daughter discovered that she had left her favorite blanket that she had slept with since she was a baby back at the cabins. I called the cabins and they found the blanket and are shipping it back to us. I have trouble reconciling the reports of poor customer service that I've read on here with the people I dealt with. These cabins have my highest recommendation and I am seriously considering driving the 15 hours back there for another vacation in the future. read more

Excellent in every way!! Very convenient after a day of exploring the Badlands and Wall Drug. Cabins are very clean, spacious, nicely appointed. Smelled great, which can sometimes be an issue. Parking is conveniently right next to your cabin. Fun park area for the kids. I only wish it was near a town with more to do because we would have liked to stay longer!! read more

Stayed here after touring the Badlands and visiting Wall Drug. Quaint and quiet cabins made for sound sleeping after such a busy day! Good playset for the kids to burn off energy with a nightly fire and s'mores. The continental breakfast is a little thin. We picked up a dozen eggs, bacon and English muffins from the local grocery store to make our own hot breakfast. Ate on the porch enjoying the meadow view. read more
