Lantern Inn was so wonderful. What a cute and locally run Inn. The owners are super nice and the property is great. Rooms are clean and have everything you need, location is great with places that are within walking distance. Hill city is a cozy little town and in middle of the places we went. Great great location for visit Mt Rushmore or Custer state park. Equal distance to rapid city as well. I will definitely book here again.

Best lace to stay on the heart of the Black Hills.

Been staying here for many, many years and the place consistently meets our expectations and delivers exceptional clean rooms, caring and accommodating owners and staff, and is just a 10 min walk from shoppes and restaurants.

Such a neat place to stay. It’s so cozy tucked in off the road. Looks recently updated. The room was perfect for us. It was so clean. The shower was a nice size, bathroom was small but was all we needed. The bed was super comfortable. Parking was great. The owners were very friendly. We walked to town I would definitely stay here again.
