Sunsets and evenings on the covered porch with family, while being ‘serenaded’ by coyotes and bugling elk was one of the highlights of the trip. The Jura espresso/coffee maker was an unexpected treat.

Our family came to the Black Hills to enjoy the abundance of MVUM roads and trails. We brought our Jeeps and the Alpine Prairie Lodge is right in the middle of some of the seemingly endless possibilities of riding opportunities. The lodge sits right on the newly paved S Rotchford road so access is easy to trailer off road vehicles in. The drive way is a little challenging to back a trailer in but my son is an excellent driver and used to backing our 30 ' trailer and was able to get in the drive. When and if we come back to The Black Hills, The Alpine Prairie Lodge will be on our short list of lodging options.

Wonderful location, beautiful interior/exterior some of us were physically broken and the hottub was a life saver.

The ‘lodge’ was perfect for our group of four women. Roomy, everything you need to prepare your meals and great proximity to all the major sites you’d want to see. We saved Badlands for the morning of our departure since it was more convenient to combine that bit of sightseeing with proximity to the airport. Our hosts were very accommodating with requests for outside card playing & lounging and binoculars for wildlife sightings. Check out the panoramic view from Flag Mountain viewable to the west. Bit of a rough road but our rent Chrysler Pacifica made it just fine (ATV better suited). The grill was easy to use and move from under the porch during an evening meal of grilled veggies and butterflied pork loin. Star gazing or enjoying an evening thunderstorm from the deck, hot tub (immaculate), or graveled drive were all part of the unique and magical experience this home and location offer.
