“Big Sky Lodge presents a classic roadside motel experience, immediately striking you with its commanding views over the plains and Badlands. The attention to maintaining cleanliness, particularly with updated floors and furnishings, is evident, and they've thoughtfully included amenities like a bike wash and even accommodate pets. It strikes me as a genuine value, well-situated for exploring the surrounding natural beauty while still being close enough to Rapid City's conveniences.”
