The Pines Country Inn

This is a quiet, cozy place a few blocks off the main drag. The owner/manager is very nice and responsive to our questions. Rooms are comfortable with a larger shower and good water pressure. The beds are so soft and luxurious. There is an outdoor seating area that is very pretty, and it looks like you can have a fire out there sometimes. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the breakfast, which is mostly bread and instant oatmeal, but everything else was lovely. This is a nice, relaxing place to recharge.

We reserved a room for 3 adults with 2 queen beds. We got a suite with a full kitchen, living room and 2 bedrooms! It was a great surprise; very nice to pull into after the late program at Mt Rushmore and a full day of driving. Incredibly relaxing.

The owner is nice, caring, and attentive. Goes above and beyond to help his guests. The inn is located in a great area—close to restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, and main routes. The rooms are outdated, with older fixtures and decor. The room fridges don’t work and some of the smoke detectors may not have batteries. All in all, good value. Nice owner who takes care of the issues and goes above and beyond for guests, I would stay here again.

😊: Loved it. Quiet, comfortable rooms, great beds, excellent shower. Lovely homey touches in the room made it more like home than a hotel.. 😢: Nothing..

Beware of the owner. We booked the cottage for three nights. Upon arrival we were told it was not available due to water damage and were given a smaller room with the promise that the next day either the cottage or suite would be available. This turned out not to be the case. After consultation by phone the owner promised he would refund the remaining two nights, so we booked somewhere else. However, he never paid back the money and didn’t pick up the phone when we called. The man is untrustworthy.
