We loved the area. The location to Mt. Rushmore and other area attractions was perfect. The room was wonderful, the view amazing (especially being able to see Mt. Rushmore from our room), and the solitude of the area with wildlife was above what we expected. Staff members were polite, helpful, and courteous. We would definitely return.

The location is excellent, the property is close to Mount Rushmore and Keystone Town area. The pillows could be replaced with more firmer ones.

I love that every room has a patio. The staff are very professional and accommodating. The rooms are a nice size. There are also hot tubs on the property and the parking is free. I really appreciate that breakfast (good breakfast) is included with the stay. We highly recommend this property.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property, very clean, friendly staff, great location away from the hustle and bustle of Keystone, yet just a 2-minute drive down to Keystone. Breakfast was good, not great, I guess I expected a little more - it was comparable to what you'd get at a typical hotel chain. The restaurant was very good - wish we would have eaten there more than one night. We loved the little hike around the property, with the little bridge and the deer we saw every day. The hot tub was an amazing way to end the day, with a view of Mount Rushmore in the distance, especially after dark with it lit up. It was very quiet - not the typical hotel where you can hear people above you walking or out in the hallways. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to the area.
