About

Nestled on 10 beautiful acres bordering the National Forest, Rock Crest Lodge offers the perfect blend of natural serenity and small-town convenience. Since opening our doors, we've welcomed countless families, couples, and solo travelers seeking the magic of the Black Hills while enjoying the comforts of home.

Our Black Hills Retreat

Whether you're exploring Custer State Park, visiting Mount Rushmore, or discovering the wonders of Crazy Horse Memorial, Rock Crest Lodge serves as your ideal home base.
