Luxury cabin rentals

Picture this: You're cradling a steaming mug as the Black Hills awaken. The sky shifts from deep purple to soft pink, and somewhere in the pines, a bird sings. Turkeys parade across the meadow and a deer grazes nearby. This is your morning view from the front porch of your Hot Springs cabin.

The gas fire pit flickers as you sit in the Adirondack in front of your cabin rental. Maybe you'll hike Sunday Gulch in Custer State Park or bike the Mickelson Trail. Perhaps you'll walk the Freedom Trail. Or maybe, just maybe, your most ambitious plan is settling into the hammock.

Every stay at Highland Meadows Resort comes with permission to slow down. Finish that book, reconnect with your spouse, or simply sit in the quiet and remember what it feels like to breathe.

This is more than lodging. It's the pause button you've been looking for.

Tipi glamping experience

The sun sets over the pines, the teepee glows as the sky grows darker and the stars shine brighter. 

 

Inside, the comfy king-size bed beckons but so does the nearby campfire and connection with new friends. 

Downtown Hot Springs is just minutes away and yet, from the top of the private mesa, you feel remote, secluded. Your shoulders relax. You grab a hoodie and head to the fire.

This is the best Black Hills glamping you could have imagined: marshmallows roasting, stars "pop" in dark skies, and you consider booking a helicopter tour to see Custer State Park from the air. Maybe visit Cascade Falls for a picnic and swim? It's only 15 minutes away, so it's a quick afternoon trip; or The World Fossil Finder Museum, just five minutes down the road? 

You post a picture on Instagram and tell your followers about the tipi. You tell them about the the birds singing at sunrise. You tell them how hard it was to leave.

Hot Springs campground

Plan your Black Hills camping trip with family and friends. Cook over a campfire, play yard games, and take a dip in local mineral springs.

 

Talk, laugh, and maybe even play games around your picnic table by lantern light. 

Head to Evans Plunge in the morning. Why not? It's located right next door and it's fed by natural mineral springs. Swim laps while the kids play on the waterslides ... or enjoy many other local attractions: 

  • Cascade Falls

  • Mammoth Site

  • World Fossil Finder Museum

  • Wind Cave National Park

  • Chautauqua Park

Enjoy flush toilets and electricity at these campsites in Hot Springs — 20 Amps at tent camping sites and 50 Amps at the pull-through RV sites.  And yes, enjoy potable water from one of several spigots in the campground.
