💫 52 Acres of Child-Free Bliss 😌

This is the year you relax. The year you trade email notifications for laughter around a campfire. The year bosses get replaced with the sound of meadowlarks in the morning. If you’re ready for some all-inclusive peace in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Shortgrass Resort is ready for your arrival.

NATURAL BEAUTY WITH NO CROWDS

Located near Spearfish in South Dakota's Black Hills, Shortgrass offers summer stays that balance access to the region with distance from high-traffic tourist areas. Guests experience open space, scenic surroundings, and a slower pace without feeling remote.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURES

With a pool area, river access, and expansive open space, Shortgrass Resort focuses on amenities that encourage rest and connection instead of go-go-go scheduled activities or entertainment. This is a place for guests to settle in and move at their own pace, whether that means touring a buffalo ranch or swinging in a hammock with a good book.

FINE DINING IS PART OF THE DEAL

Every stay at Shortgrass Resort is all-inclusive, with all meals included and served on-site at Meander, the resort’s fine-dining restaurant. Guests don’t plan meals or manage add-ons — the experience is seamless, complete, and absolutely delicious.

CHILD-FREE, QUIET BY DESIGN

Shortgrass Resort is intentionally child-free, creating a consistently calm, unhurried environment. This is a place for quiet mornings, relaxed dining, and space without the noise or pace of family-oriented resorts. Click below to start planning your perfect escape.
