There was no one around had 3 numbers to call if no one was there to check in but no answer. Had to check in over the phone got no paperwork and no one came around to clean room. The sign is hard to see in the dark. The location is nice right on lake.

Upon checking in, around 6pm, we found a “closed, be back at x:xx” sign. There was also a list of numbers to call. My husband called the first one with no luck, but quickly tried the second one. The person answered and told us the key was in the room, and the room was unlocked. The motel is a bit dated, but fine. Towels were dingy and a few had spots. Not a big deal. We can manage. We noticed after our dog fell into a hole, that the perimeter of the deck had holes in the earth, and in the spot right in front of our room, the patio block was fighting for its life in one corner, with at least a foot of dirt missing from underneath it. We had to remind the kids several times to watch their step or go around it, which was kind of hard as it was like this in several spots. That night when we laid down to go to bed, the fireplace kicked on by itself. There’s a device on the wall that looks like it controls the heat/fireplace, but the knob is broken off. The fireplace ran all night, so eventually we had to turn the air on to combat how warm it was. Friday it rained all afternoon and was cool and cloudy. The resort advertises a game room. My husband went to check it out, but again the office was closed. Saturday there was a beeping around the motel somewhere and we assumed it was a smoke detector. My husband went to the office to let someone know, but again, it was closed. That was when we noticed our room didn’t have a smoke detector.

Decent place to stay if your over tired.

We found this little gem when we came to Hill City to ride sxs with another group. Easy to find, about a mile out of town. Parking a truck and trailer was not convenient at all. Office was in disarray and I was worried about the condition of the room after being in the office area but the room was pleasant. Overlooks the lake so that was nice, fireplace in the room but we never could get it to come on. Pretty dated room and bathroom but was fine for two nights after riding all day. Negatives that we couldn’t over look: no hairdryer in the room, beds were not comfortable. We would stay here again as there aren’t many options in this town but I would come better prepared.

When I first pulled into the property, I admit I was a little worried. Then when I got to the door and they were closed, I was double worried. I called the number on the door and no one answered, but the voicemail greeting gave me ANOTHER number, so I was seriously worried! But all for naught, as the second number belonged to a gentleman that lived right on the property, and he got there in no time and was SUPER friendly! The room was nice and clean, and the things to do on the property are numerous! We only had one night as we were just passing through, but would definitely consider going back for a longer stay!

The property is under construction so not appealing to the eye however the lake is beautiful. There was an issue with Asian Beetles in the room. There was no other space available for us to move to so we had to deal with it. We were offered a vacuum to suck of the bugs ourselves.

This was a unique and fun place actually. Nothing fancy, but an adequate place to get a good night sleep as we traveled across the country. There were lots of renovations and construction going on, which really obscured the view of the lake, but since we were just passing through that was not an issue for us.
