This resort is more like a motel with an attached lodge. We stay here frequently when we go snowmobiling in the Black Hills SD. The rooms are traditional, dated motel rooms with the basics. A few rooms have refrigerators, most are just bed and bathroom. Nothing fancy but they do have shampoo and soap. They only clean a few times... More

We came here during peak season for family snowmobiling. We didn't expect a four-star hotel, but a little maintenance and cleanliness would have gone a long way. The cabins are quaint and easily accessible to the trail system. That's where the positive aspects end. There was garbage all around the cabin on the ground, linen was dirty on arrival, there...

Our cabin had mice, some of the lights didn't work, bedding was not clean. When we brought this to the attention of the staff (who was intoxicated) we were told "Well that is the Black Hills". The lodge was OK, but they must only clean it once a week as there were empty beer cans by the fireplace for 2... More

We first stayed at Recreational Springs several years ago and it was a great place to stay, good service, clean rooms and a good place to eat. A couple years ago, after it had changed hands, we stayed there and it was average, fair service, decent food and easy to get to the ATV trails. I reserved the rooms on... More

I really love this place - it is quiet, secluded, in the high hills of the Black Hills mountain range - and is a recreational resort. However, I can travel and sleep pretty much anywhere and to tell you the truth many people would not be satisfied with this place. This resort is mostly around because of the Sturgis Bike... More

First let me say I love Recreational Springs Resort. This was my first time sleeping here. It is a quaint little hotel, NOTHING fancy, however just the same I liked it. The room was clean, the beds were comfy, good pillows, the bathroom was clean, nice cable selection...everything I needed to sleep after a long night of travel. The carpet... More

We camped here in this beautiful location, but found the rest rooms and upkeep of the premises a little creepy. It wouldn't take a lot to make this a wonderful place to stay as it's really cool temps in the heat of the summer. Someone needs to invest a little labor and money.

The food was good, we had a big group of people and everything turned out great. Had prime rib Friday night, it was perfect, a breakfast buffet on Saturday that was great and a big meal for the group on Sat. night and that was excellent. The snowmobiles were in good shape and we only had 2 problems out of... More

If you book here by phone be warned they do not deliver on what they offer. We booked 3 wks. ahead of time by phone (after trying to email them but received no response). We were offered the 2 night stay and play package (2 nights lodging, two breakfasts for 2, 1 double snowmobile with gear gas and oil for... More
