Top Black Elk Peak Hotel Reviews

Timber Haven Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property in a beautiful area, perfect for my family and furry friend . Very easy check in check out process. Highly recommend giving Timber Haven a visit."

The Hynes Cabin – A Spacious Renovated 1925 Classic with Stunning Views

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hynes cabin. We did not see any horses near the cabin, but it could be due to the end of the season at the campground. We did see geese, ducks and deer daily by the cabin surrounded by the wonderful view of the mountain. The cabin is so centrally located that we enjoyed several day trips out. It is located very near Mt. Rushmore so we visited the monument in the day and also at night for their illumination ceremony. It's worth the trip!"
