Luxury Earth Home w/ Chef's Kitchen

Welcome to The Lodge at Highland Meadows Resort, a 2,800 sf luxury earth home nestled atop a 12.5-acre mesa in Hot Springs, South Dakota, featuring breathtaking views of the southern Black Hills and Hot Springs VA hospital. 

This is the largest vacation rental at Highland Meadows Resort — peaceful, private, and surrounded by wildlife. The Lodge features floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows where you can view wildlife strolling past during the day and enjoy stunning views of the night sky (without stepping out the front door).

The Lodge is just a short drive from local attractions like Moccasin Springs Natural Mineral Spa, Wind Cave National Park, Custer State Park, and The Mammoth Site.
