Lodge

10619 Roughlock Falls Rd, Spearfish, SD

Tucked deeply inside the towering limestone cliffs of a premier national scenic byway, this magnificent independent mountain lodge offers an ultimate upscale nature retreat. The property features massive log architecture, a spectacular stone fireplace in the great room, and instant backyard access to hiking trails and trout fishing streams. It serves as a perfect, highly scenic alternative to commercial highway hotels for travelers road-tripping through western South Dakota toward Mount Rushmore or Wyoming.
