South Dakota’s resorts offer peaceful getaways with a frontier twist: rolling hills, quiet lakes, mountain views, and rustic-luxe cabins that make unplugging feel effortless. Whether I’m soaking in a hot tub under the stars or exploring a nearby state park, this is where relaxation meets adventure.
I’m sipping my morning coffee on the porch of a cabin at Custer State Park Resort, watching buffalo roam the hills—and the only sound is the wind through the pines.
For Black Hills charm, State Game Lodge in Custer State Park is a favorite—once a summer White House, now a cozy retreat surrounded by wildlife and scenic drives. Spearfish Canyon Lodge brings waterfall hikes and fly-fishing right to your doorstep. Blue Bell LodgeAngostura Recreation Area
