Lots of space in the room and the best prime rib I have ever had and I come from beef country!! I had a beautiful view of the trees out of big windows with only a short drive to Mount Rushmore. Well laid out private walkable property with an outdoor pool for the kids! I definitely recommend this property and would come back.
