First, location, location, location! Cedar Pass Lodge is set in the ultra fabulous Badlands National Park. Recently renovated it is incredibly comfortable with a nice bed and shower. Views of the Badlands abound and it is very quiet. It is close to the great Medicine/Castle Loop Hike with Saddlehorn Spur thrown in! The only downside is television. Television in a... More

We stayed in one of the new cabins. High quality fittings and furniture throughout and the bathroom was very well appointed. Pity they don't have a small kitchen because there aren't any places to eat nearby if you don't want to eat in their restaurant. The all-wood floor was a bit hard and cold for our liking in a bedroom/living... More

The new cabins are great. They are designed very attractive. The ambience of the cabins are wonderful. Our cabin was very clean, comfortable and spacious. It was very quiet as well. Good location. Staff was very friendly. The only pity was that the restaurant for dinner already closed at 5 p.m. We visited at the end of season and unfortunately... More

This is THE place to stay if you are visiting badlands. It is located next to the visitor center. All the scenic overlooks and trails are within 30-40 mins drive. Rooms are clean, cosy with good heating system. Rooms also have fridge, microwave and TV. Comments: 1. Rooms do not have internet. Therefore, if you need to use internet, download... More

My wife and I stayed in one of the new cabins for two nights last week. Cabin was beautiful, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The location is fantastic, if you like isolation. (and I do) Being late in the season the restaurant in the lodge closed at 4:30 but we arrived at 5:00PM. After driving 500 miles that day a drive... More

We stayed in the new cabins which were so beautiful and luxury with coffee maker, fridge, air con, microwave and deluxe bathroom. Amazing location with stunning views of the Badlands and wildlife to your door - woke up one morning to find deer in the back garden and rabbits grazing. At night stunning views of the stars and the moon.... More

I was apprehensive about staying here, but it turned out to be quite the pleasant surprise. We stayed in a new cabin that was beautiful and very clean. There were bluebirds every where. The view out the back was spectacular of the Badlands. This is the only restaurant in the Badlands, so service is slow, but friendly. Food was okay.

We spent two nights at Cedar Pass Lodge in the new cabins. The cabin was absolutely beautiful and the furnishings are extremely nice. There is plenty of room in the cabin and having a table (we like to play cards in the evening) is a nice touch. The bathroom is nicely done, although the shower is a bit small, but... More

After sleeping in a tent in under 30 degree temps at Yellowstone, the Cedar Pass Lodge cabin was paradise. The bed was comfortable and the room very clean. There is no TV, WiFi access, alarm clock, or phone in the cabin. You can't beat the location too: you are less then a 5 minute drive to many of the hiking... More
