This place was so cute! We were in a cabin that faced west, and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset. The cabin had all we needed and the bed was super comfortable. The AC worked great, and the staff member who checked us in gave us eating recommendations. This was a great place to stay before heading to the Badlands. read more

Bad business practice from the owner. I booked a cabin on Jan. 17. When I went to check in June 15, I was informed that a recent party had more people than anticipated so the owner, Laura, bumped me from my accommodations and gave it to the other group. She did set me up in a hotel and paid for it, but it is NOT comparable to the cabin that I paid for. Her comment was "it's a nice hotel" and "it it makes you feel better, it was more than you paid" - except in January, it was not more than I paid. Even last minute it was $12 LESS than I paid. Bottom line seems to be that she could make more money from the other group, so she bumped me along with at least 2 other reservations when really she should have told the other group that she could not accommodate their extra people. read more

We have stayed here in the past and looked forward to staying here again! There are new owners now, and the amazing experience continues! My husband called to make the reservation and was really happy with how friendly and helpful the owner was. When we arrived again, we were warmly greeted. Our cabin was immaculately clean. The bed was comfortable. The mini fridge and microwave worked just fine. The owner also texted to check on our comfort and needs daily. It's so nice to have such great service. There is no other place we would stay when visiting the area. read more

Frontier Cabins - Sunset view from our cabin! - Guest Houses Near Me - Wall, South Dakota

Oh my gosh! Such cute little cabins. The decor is awesome. Made me feel like I was back in Alaska. We were driving from MI to Rapid City, SD and in Wall, SD we decided we were done for the day. I found Frontier Cabins online and reserved one. When we got there, the gentleman at the desk said we got the last one. I don't know how many there are total, maybe 20 or 30. Anyway, there were two queen beds, the super tall ones, so be prepared to climb into bed. You get a ticket for a complimentary drink at a bar in town and also for a pancake or biscuit and gravy breakfast at the same place. Our cabin was clean and comfortable. Oh, pet friendly, too. read more

We have stayed at the cabins 5 time and each stay is perfect. Your 8 miles from the Badlands and a mile to DT Wall. Your right off the interstate, but you never hear it. I have stayed in hotels that cost 4 time the rate of the cabins and not been as comfortable and clean. Can't wait for our next stay! Thanks again read more

We stayed here in 2014 and so I thought it would be fun to stay again as my daughter and I were on another road trip. We arrived 20 minutes before check in so I knew I probably wouldn't be able to check in but we went into the front office to look at the "gift store" and see if the room was ready. No one there, but then we heard a lady yell - can I help you. Took me a minute to see where she was. I said I'm here to check in. She yelled that's starts at 3. We went back to our car for 20 minutes. At 2:58 another car pulls in , someone goes in and comes out really quick and they drive to their cabin. I thought ok that's weird. So at 3:02 I go in and the lady asks my name and I tell her and she is huffing and puffing on the computer. She is acting so annoyed I finally said "what is the matter?". She puts her hands up with her palms facing me and says the rain really sets us back. (The light rain only started at 2:50).. she was so annoyed but finally said - I moved some things around... you're in 35. we drove to our cabin and went in and noticed right away the chain lock was broke. My daughter rigged it up to somewhat work. I really hate when someone in customer service makes you feel like you're a real pain in their ass. I asked for an emailed copy of my receipt and a copy of the form i had to sign at check in. I never got either one of them. read more

Frontier Cabins - Broken chain lock - Guest Houses Near Me - Wall, South Dakota

This place is on the expensive side for Wall but so totally worth the price!! I loved this cabin!! The log cabins are beautiful, spacious, so well-decorated and stick to the theme of the 1800s in the looks while providing amenities from the 20th century. Our cabin had a lovely patio facing farmland and a grille :) The inside, as you can see, is just so pretty!! The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've had and I fell asleep instantly as I laid my head down. They gave dove soap in the shower, which makes me love them more. The water was super hot, which, again, I LOVE. Finally, the blankets were perfectly warm. 100% stay here if you're ok with the price. Try to get in before sunset so you can actually enjoy the cabins. They have teepees and other things around. read more

These cabins are IMMACULATE! To understand what my review really means, you should know that I have stayed in quite a few cabins in the past couple years. I do have a certain level of what I believe to be average and what I consider to be acceptable. The Badlands Frontier Cabins exceed all of that. Taking a step back, first you drive up to the lobby where a very helpful and nice person will check you in quickly. You get a key per person! (It might sound odd to be happy about this but there are 3 adults traveling together and most hotels give two keys without your begging.) You can also get a glow-in-the-dark travel water bowl for your pup. Your cabin will either face the highway but be buffered by a large apron of grass, or it will face a large grass field. When you get to your cabin, you just hold your key up in front of the lock. State of the art locks on metal doors with a dead bolt and security chain. (The door is so clean inside that the TV reflects perfectly.) Because they knew we were coming, the air conditioner was already on. We opened the door to cool air, a very large flat screen TV, and 2 very tall queen beds. There were also 2 straight back chairs, a desk, a refrigerator, a microwave, an end table between the two beds, a ceiling fan. At the end of the cabin is a closet with ironing board, iron, sink, mirror and towels. In on the left is the toilet with a tub and handheld shower nozzle. Even the vaulted ceiling of the cabin was perfectly clean and without a single speck of dust. All 3 windows opened well and could be closed off from the outdoor light as needed. After sundown the buildings have lights on the outside so that you can always find your way around. The only drawback ... The cabins are not handicap accessible. The beds are 30" off the ground. The bathrooms all have bathtubs. read more

Frontier Cabins is an excellent place to stay if you passing through or visiting the Badlands. We stayed twice, on the way out to Montana and the way back. We were able to bring our dog, and the location is excellent -- right outside of downtown Wall, SD. Plenty of space to walk around, the room is cozy, the hotel staff pleasant. Even other guests were pleasant! Highly recommend, and we'd stay there again. read more

Our cabin was beautiful, comfortable and clean and had a great view of the sunset. The man working the front desk was super nice and helpful. We were given coupons for a free breakfast at the Badlands Saloon. It wasn't until we got there that we realized that the free breakfast was - French toast, pancakes or a biscuit and gravy. I wish I had realized this ahead of time as none of these choices are something I would have myself. Our 'free' breakfast ended up costing over $40. read more

CLEAN, very cozy warm interior and quiet enough considering cabins are all set close together. Loved the front porch hangout and comfortable bed. Only negative is the location is kind of stark. Thankful to have found this gem read more

Great location - just a short straight drive to the park. The cabins are excellent. Everything fields new, carpet, furniture, towels etc. Beds were super comfy but high off the ground, I'm short so it was a leap up from one bed to the other. Ours was not a kitchen unit, came with fridge and microwave and coffee machine. Remember to bring paper plates, cutlery etc. They are not available in the on site shop. Laundry facilities were super efficient. Ask for a cabin facing the farmland - we had one facing the road, it was not too noisy but it just was not very picturesque. A small table and two chairs would have been of more use than the long credenza. read more

We had reservations at Badlands Frontier Cabins for 2 nights. Unfortunately Hurricane Milton was heading toward our home in Florida so we needed to leave a day earlier than expected to secure our home. We contacted the Cabins as soon as we were aware that our home was directly in the path of the hurricane, to request a refund of the second night. We contacted the manager (Laura Cowan) and was told that our request to change the reservation came 2 days before our stay, and any changes required 3 days notice. We explained the hurricane was unexpected and asked her for an exception under the circumstances. She agreed and told us to request a refund through Booking.com because we made our reservations through them. She said if they agreed, then she would refund the unused night's stay. We did as she instructed and requested a refund from Booking.com. The next day, Booking.com informed us that due to the unexpected hurricane they agreed to refund the money. Then they said the hotel manager (Laura) needed to approve the request, but she refused to do so. We attempted to contact Laura to resolve the problem, but our phone calls and emails were never answered. We understand the 3-day refund policy, but due to the unexpected hurricane, we were hoping an exception to the policy could be made. Our 1-star review is based on the manager's actions and empty promises. read more

A sincerely darling little cabin experience! Traveling west, we found this little treasure in Wall, SD. Well built, cozy and clean, this place is the best! The beds are strong and made of logs. Soft linens and very nice pillows. The room darkens well with wooden shades. It was hard to wake up!! Why would you ever stay anywhere else?! We even brought our little dog who made himself right at home. We'll be back! read more

We loved the room but they quoted and charged us a $40 pet deposit at check in, then charged another $50 the next day and claimed it was the pet deposit and charged us $101 and accused us of 'stealing the blanket' from the room. Also accused us of trying to cheat the free breakfast. As unprofessional as anything we've ever been involved with. read more

We checked into the Frontier Cabins on Father's Day 2020 in the mist of the Covid pandemic. After we searched online throughout the city of wall we settled on this place. We booked the kitchenette cabin realizing that most of the hotels that promised breakfast could not do so because of the virus. They offer free bags of ice and will replenish any supplies needed for your stay. We stayed with our two children who are almost 13 and 11 years old. The unit included two queen size beds and a sleeper sofa in the cabin. With free Wi-Fi and two TVs I was surprised that my kids were more excited to sit out in the Adirondack chairs facing the field then hooked to their devices. The cabin was extremely clean and even though I brought cleaning supplies I did not feel like I had to wipe down every surface. The beds had pillow tops and were comfy. I took a nap every day after our hikes. The showers were hot even after four people used them and hot water was used to cook dinner. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. One night we had a hard time entering our cabin and we called the after hours number. Within 10 minutes someone was by to help us. He was very friendly even considering the late hour. The best part of the cabins is the 10 minute drive to the Badlands. We could've stayed a whole week but only stayed three nights. The next time we are in town we will make this our homebase again. A travelers tip, get the cake donuts with chocolate frosting from Wall Drug, pick up some super fresh produce from Wall Food Center, and catch the sunset from Sagecreek Rim Rd. read more

Absolutely loved this place. I want to leave it a lower rating just so it stays a hidden gem but I won't do that. The location is great for Park access and food too. Your own little private cabin in the wilderness. Grills, tables to eat outdoors, everything you need. Bed was comfy, and cabin was clean with the exception of some little bugs one would expect in a field. I will stay here again, read more

Frontier Cabins - Taken 10 minutes from the hotel. - Guest Houses Near Me - Wall, South Dakota

Love this place. Clean, well furnished, comfortable, useful amenities. I have been here more than once and will keep coming back. It is becoming my standard stop on the long drive west. Almost hate to say that since this place is always booked as it is...but the truth is worth sharing. read more

I booked 2 nights in March - for September 2023 (through Bookings.com), cancelled in June (I have a confirmation email), yet Frontier Cabins took my money in September & refused to issue a refund. I was told to expect a refund, this never materialized - . Communication was poor until the staff & GM hung up on me and refused further calls. Kudos to Booking.com for making it right. Watch your money - I wouldn't risk staying at that place. read more

Walked into the check-in for Frontier Cabins. We received a warm and gracious welcome from Pete at the front desk. Pete explained the Town of Wall to us and recommended a great place for dinner and another for breakfast the next morning. The cabin is CLEAN and as cute as can be. Wendy and I highly recommend Frontier Cabins for your stay in Wall. Michael & Wendy Holloway Holladay, Utah. read more

We enjoyed our stay at The Frontier Cabins very much. The beds were comfortable the cabins were very roomy and the fridge and microwave was very handy. I highly recommend staying in the prairie view rooms, we really enjoyed being able to sit outside and watch the sunsets. The parking is right beside the cabin which was very convenient when it came to taking things to and from the cabin. I wish the hot tubs were open and available while we were there however they had a cover on them the whole time. The no contact check in was very convenient and we appreciated it very much. If you are planning on spending time doing the Badlands Loop or spending time in Wall this place is perfectly located to both. Since Covid they no longer clean your cabins or change out the towels even for multi night stays, if you need clean washcloths and towels you have to take the dirty ones to the office and swap them out for clean yourself. read more

We enjoyed our stay here with our dogs. The cabin was cramped with two oversized queen beds so it was hard to move around with not much of a place to sit other than the beds. But the quietness was appreciated to get a good night's sleep. read more

My husband and I stayed here two nights while visiting Badlands and Mount Rushmore. I travel a lot and have to say this is one of my favorite places. This place was perfect. All amenities you need, perfect size room and the porch is a large plus. Great place to unwind and relax. Highly recommend to anyone visiting this area. read more

I'd give the cabins here a 5. The management of the facility merits no more than a 2. The rooms/cabins are nicely done and quite comfortable, in their kitschy cabiny sort of way. However, the office is another thing. I was warned, however. Other reviews of this place indicated poor attitudes of the help. I am pretty ambivalent about that kind of thing so jumped into a reservation. However, when arriving and later after we settled, it seemed that the staff behind the counter was more bothered by our presence than they were willing to acknowledge us. Three different encounters (check-in, check-out, even trip for supplies) with three different people all showed a similar grumpy demeanor. Once we stood for quite a long time in front of a surly worker behind the counter as she finished a text messaging conversation. Awkward. This could be an amazing place. The potential for it to be the best place along I-90 is there already. The hard part is done with great facilities and easy access. The easy part now is to see if the staff can actually learn to appreciate that their customers have a choice. It would take so little for this to be a must-stay location. read more

When my friend and I arrived we loved it!! Super cute cabin. But once we settled in, we found about 8 crickets/ centipedes in our bathroom, and then we found the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life. I stared at it for nearly 40 minutes sitting to figure out if it was real because it was so big, and then it moved. It was AWFUL. We called the staff to ask for a cleaning or something--they offered us a new room, but simply said that "it's just the time of year the bugs get inside", so we decided to stay since we had everything left out and there would most likely be the same problem if we moved cabins. Cute place, but we had to sleep with one eye open looking for spiders. read more

This place is very dirty. There was old food and dead bugs under the bed, the sheets on one bed were stained, many spider webs in the cabin. The floors were used dirty, don't take your socks off. In the middle of the night I got up to use the bathroom and it was a mine field of bugs. I think I counted 8 just in the bathroom. Then the huge spider (about a quarter size) came under the door. read more

My husband and I choose this location for its affordability and stellar reviews. We were not disappointed and are sure to return, it was romantic and perfect for couples but next time we think we will bring friends! Pros: The cabins were even cuter in person. Comfy pillows, really friendly staff, decent continental breakfast, hot tub, soft water showers, good air conditioning, rustic feel, nice and quiet cabins even by the street! Cons: there is really nothing to eat in Wall, sure there is walldrug but the grub is really pricey. There is a grocery store though, so you could always make sandwiches. Bonus: if Pokémon go is of interest to you, there are 3 stops and one gym that are available as you chill in your cabin, no walking needed! read more

Family of 7 stayed 4 nights. We really enjoyed our stay! The good: cabins were immaculate and well stocked, towels fluffy, beds comfy, jacuzzi was awesome, the kids loved the park, the view of the prairie was really pretty, staff was great, laundry room was tidy and cheap, free ice, and complimentary s'mores round the campfire every night. It was very cozy and everything we needed as a homebase. The bad: the breakfast is really not a breakfast, just yogurt, fruit and pre-packaged rolls. No big deal tho, because you have a full kitchen and can shop right down the street. The pull out couch bed was really really bad. Make the kids sleep there, or possibly the person you like the least. Overall, we loved it and would stay again! read more

Awful Customer Service Was looking to book my 50th Birthday vacation for Summer 2015. Thought I would get an early jump on the reservation process. I completed an online reservation request. Three days, and no responses later, I decided to call the toll free number directly. I called and proceeded to get a busy signal 8 times over a 30 minute time span. When I finally got through, I was placed immediately on hold. When I was finally able to speak to someone, they said they are not taking reservations that far in advance and was advised to email their corporate location in Tulsa directly. I forwarded my earlier online reservation request with my date(s) and room type request and this is the answer I received: "The reason you were told to send me an email is because we are not taking reservations yet at the cabins. I'm making them here in the business office. We do have cabins available for July 21st through July 24th - 4 nights. You did not say which type of cabin you might be interested in so here are the prices of all 4 type cabins we have." I may be slightly overreacting, but I was very put off by the overall unprofessionalism of this outfit. So much I decided not to book with them. After reading some of these reviews, it appears that this attitude may be somewhat pervasive. As such, I will be happily staying somewhere else during my trip to the Badlands. read more

After a reservation mix-up in Rapid City, we decided to push on a little further, and called the first place with a good rating listed on any Internet site. It was in Wall, and we weren't expecting much, having been through this area before. But, wow! We've been on the road for 21 days, we're one long day from home, and we lucked into the best stay of our trip. The only reason you might not like these convenient, comfortable cabins is if spending the night in the home furnishings department of Cabela's would give you nightmares. The furnishings were genuine log furniture, including the king sized bed (mattress so comfortable that I wanted to bring it home), moose-themed hooks, outdoor themed lighting, dream catcher above the bed, and embroidered thick towels. There was a porch with chairs made of the same huge logs, and a view of the meadow. Parking right next to the cabin. Coffee maker, microwave and the largest mini fridge I've seen. Plenty of room to stretch out, couch and two chairs, functional windows, and nice heavy wooden blinds. TV with cable. Sink outside toilet/tub area, large mirror. Wall air conditioner that kept up with the summer heat. Even a fly swatter hung by the door, which is a good idea, because you are right in the middle of the great outdoors. The shower was wonderful, hot and strong, and everything worked as it should. I usually hate those "shower head on a hose" things, but this one was so well-designed that it didn't matter. We looked at the breakfast served in the gift shop and decided to drive further, because I like fresh oatmeal, but everything looked like it was ready for the families who would soon be coming in, including boiled eggs, biscuits and gravy, muffins, and the other standards of a continental plus breakfast. Check in and check out was flawless and friendly. They do close the desk at 10:00 pm, like most of Wall, but there is a number to call if you are late. And if so, you might want to eat before you get to Wall, unless you don't mind a burger in a paper basket from the bar downtown. (Which was pretty good, actually.) This is a well-designed, well-kept gem of a place, and if you get a chance to stay here, you will enjoy it. read more

Great cabins! We enjoyed staying here. The cabins are clean, well maintained and decorated with a western country theme. The kids liked the playground and the adults liked sitting on the porch watching the sun set. We found the breakfast selection a little lacking, but the cleanliness of the place more than made up for it. We will stay here again in the future. read more

We found this place on the internet and it seemed like a very nice place with a good price to stay for a night after a long day in the Badlands. The cabin was very nice, very clean and nicely appointed with furnishings and nick-nack log cabin decor. We were early in the season so we got a great price for one night. The check-in went well and the girl who checked us in was friendly and helpful, unlike some previous comments. We were even offered a free bag of ice. They also offer a free breakfast, juice, coffee, cereal, yogurt and a few breads and danish. Not great but, enough to get us going. The office is also a gift shop with 1/4 of it locally made "stuff" and the other 3/4 fireworks stacked to the ceiling. They have free wifi and an outside area to bar-b-q or sit in the hot tub. They also have several "Indian Tee-pees" that you can rent. It only has a bed in it but, if you want to tent camp cheap, it's pretty cool. read more

Enjoyed our stay at the cabins. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Nice large rooms with couch, coffee table, fridge and microwave.

Frontier Cabins - The rooms are terrific - Guest Houses Near Me - Wall, South Dakota

The good stuff: The place is quaint, pretty clean, close to Badlands Park and Wall. Nice looking and a different type of lodging. The bad: First off there were small worms in the bathroom(I think,they may also have been on carpet,but not seen). Everyday 10-15 were killed. Other reviewers have mentioned bugs and critters, maybe the exterminator should be called in more often. Maybe this is not a place for city slickers. I would have given this place 1 or 2 more stars had it not been for this problem. Pretty mundane free breakfast but is free. BTW not many dining options in Wall. read more

If you're looking for the authentic rustic cabin feel, look no further. These cabins are adorable and spacious. The view when we woke in the morning was beautiful. Very close to the Badlands Park and the town of Wall Drug. Complimentary breakfast is served in the front office/store which is decked out in beautiful turquoise jewelry and all things mid western, very cool. The front desk woman was very nice and helpful. Thank goodness we called early enough to reserve a room because we received the last one and they were closing in five minutes so she left a key for us to enter as it was very late. Playset on the grounds for children and a fire pit or two as well that looked neat. Will most definitely be returning the next time we visit the Badlands. read more
