Ten cabins set on a grassy meadow offer skylights and private decks. Some have full kitchens, and there are special honeymoon and anniversary accommodations. The inn's special use permit allows guests to enjoy the Black Hills National Forest on horseback with half-day and full-day rides available. The dining room looks like a covered wagon. The ranch is close to Mount Rushmore.

From the time that we arrived, as the horses were being run to the "free" pasture, to the morning return on our last day. We enjoyed our refreshing - fantastic stay! Thank you for creating this heaven among the natural wonders and tourist sites. We did it all in a relatively short time. Saw the buffalo (bison), the sculptures, the stars - heard the river and the cows mooing. It was wonderful!

It was great! The resort is quiet & clean & the owners were super nice! The horse ride yesterday was lots of fun - would definately do that again. This area is so beautiful. I can't wait to visit again. This was our 11th wedding anniversary & it was a perfect trip.

We came from Oregon just to do the Mickelson Trail. How fortunate we were to find High Country was right on the trail. Larry gave us such good advice for biking & camping and the Moonshine Gulch Saloon in Rochford. Everyone along the trail has been great! How can I talk about this trip and not mention the weather! Beautiful fall colors. Warm 70's days. And the stars at night! What a place!

Loved watching the staff bring horses in and back out to pasture. Sandy and Rascal were very entertaining too. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable.
