We had a great stay. The cabins are newly renovated and really lovely. There is limited food onsite or in the near area, closest is Wall. But there is a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The area was quiet at night. There is a campground nearby, and a ranger astronomy talk in the evening. I highly recommend these cabins for those who are looking to stay in the park, but not camp.

The location and cabins themselves was nice but the water smelled like sewage. We couldn’t shower or brush our teeth are whole trip. In return we got one gallon of water. A discount would have been nice if I wanted to camp I would have got a camping spot instead for a lot cheaper.

We recently spent two nights at Cedar Pass Lodge, our first visit to Badlands National Park. We always try to stay within a park if lodging is available, and our cabin did not disappoint. Both mornings we enjoyed the sunrise with our coffee on the front porch, watching the rabbits and listening to the birds. Both evenings we drove the Sage Creek Rim Road almost until dark to watch the wildlife (which was so much more plentiful than we expected). We saw a large herd of bison, pronghorns, big horn sheep (including a mom and baby), mule deer, hordes of prairie dogs, even a fox that ran across the road in front of us. In between, we drove the scenic loop, stopped at most of the overlooks and did several hikes. Staying within the park made it so easy to enjoy the park literally from sunrise to sunset. The beds were comfortable and the cabin was clean, and that’s really all we were looking for, as we were there to enjoy the park to the fullest. The shower was a bit on the small side, but there was plenty of hot water for 2 people. Plenty of counter space around the sink, which was nice to have. We needed to turn the heat on the second night, and it took a bit of button pushing, but we quickly figured out how to work the control. It appeared that every cabin was occupied, but it was never noisy, perhaps because it was pre-Memorial Day and most schools were not out yet. We never attempted to turn on the TV, so I have no idea how well it worked. We did have to ask for extra coffee (there were only 2 individual servings of regular coffee in the cabin), but it was handed over with a smile. If you ask for extra coffee at check-in, it will save you a second trip to the front desk. If a 5 star hotel experience is important to you, Cedar Pass Lodge is not the place you will find that. But if you’re looking to immerse yourself in the experience of the Badlands, it’s an excellent place to stay. We hope to return one day.

Stay inside the national park with views that will remain in your memory forever. Spacious, clean cabin that looks out to the Badlands formations providing stunning sunsets and sunrises. Comfortable beds that enhance your visit. Walk to the park visitor center or just hike around the Badlands. The natural sounds as well as the silence is both peaceful and fulfilling to your soul. It’s another world. You can find other options for lodging, but if you’re going to the Badlands this is THE place to bed down and take in the absolute beauty of an under appreciated gem of our national parks.

We wanted a King bed, but those are ONLY available in one side of the 4 "duplexes." I need to say that the middle wall seem quite thin and we could easily hear conversations and snoring. Very unexpected. Other than that, the room was clean and reasonably furnished. Although there was no night table on my side of my bed where I could put my CPAP machine, so I had to use one of the 2 chairs. If you can do with 2 queens instead of a king bed, BE SURE to reserve one of the individual cabins, not a duplex. They had a BIG storm a few days before we arrived and the cable service to our TV was broken for our entire 4 day stay. Didn't ruin our stay, but was disappointing.
