We rented this gorgeous property to attend the Sturgis bike rally. Its only 20 minutes from downtown Sturgis. However we were quickly inspired by the nature surrounding the property and decided that it was better to explore the grandeur of South Dakota. We used Rusty Meadows as a base station for daily rides to explore Spearfish Canyon, Deadwood, Mount Rushmore, Needles Highway, Iron Mountain, and Custer State Park. While staying at the Lodge,we woke up to gorgeous views of a green meadow and majestic Black Hills. Following daily rides, we unwound while taking advantage of all the amenities availed to us by the owners of this amazing log cabin. We smoked cigars and sipped bourbon by an outdoor firepit; we took hikes through wildflower meadows; we grilled steaks on the grill; and we fell asleep each night under a thick blanket of stars. Sturgis was fun, but it is just one superficial layer of the beauty that South Dakota has to offer, and the Rusty Meadows Lodge is the perfect venue to immerse yourself. Thank you Jessica and John!!
