★★★★★ 5.0 Douglas Pehrson · Sep 2025

We stayed at Lantern Inn September 8 & 9. This little gem was perfectly located near Rushmore & Custer State Park. Lantern Inn met all our criteria: very clean room, very comfortable beds, refrigerator, microwave, and shower. The property is very well maintained. We were the last to arrive and the front desk held our parking spot open for us in front of our room door. A grocery store is across the street which was very convenient with restaurants nearby. Highly recommend for your lodging in Hill City.

Great place to stay in Hill City. It’s right off the main road and right across the street from a grocery store if you need to pop over for snacks or something. The best part of this hotel would be the owners! Our last night in town, our side by side broke down and the owner drove a few miles out of town to pick us up and gave us a ride back to our truck! I recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Hill City. 10 out of 10!

We loved staying here! The location was perfect and the room was very nice. Perfectly clean, updated and also very roomy! The owners are super nice and welcoming. They kept us well supplied in coffee! Will stay here again for sure if I get to come back to the Black Hills.

My husband and I were there on an anniversary motorcycle trip to the Black Hills area. We stayed three nights, it was amazing!!! Great location! Our room was VERY clean, nicely updated and had thoughtful details like USB port o the nightstand, room darkening curtains, and a nice coffee maker with timer on it ;) The owner Laura was so accommodating and made us feel right at home while we were there! The outdoor of the property was wonderfully landscaped with beautiful flowers as well as a nice picnic/barbecue area. Great place to stay in the Black Hills, we will definitely be back!!!!!
