The Crazy Horse Monument visit

Arrived fine, but found the office hard to locate at first. Cabin was great. Would have been good to better understand the cabin view before I booked but the sound was distant from traffic so ok. Parking was first come, first serve, but didn't pose a problem for us. The description said it included breakfast, but it was muffins, etc -- a to go meal only. Very clean, and we liked the deck very much for a quiet sit after sight seeing!

The cabins were not what I expected from the website. Limited parking for the cabins. No good seating. TV should be wall mounted for better viewing.

Cute room but thin walls. We could hear the people in the next room early morning which ruined our sleep. We arrived at 8:30 pm from traveling all day and asked about dining options and told most town restaurants stop serving at 9 pm on a Saturday night.
