Quality Inn Keystone near Mount Rushmore

8/10 Good

"The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The breakfast food wasn’t very hot. Most of the staff didn’t speak any English so it was hard to get help."

Spectacular setting, amenities, and centrally located to Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park, and hiking. Wi-Fi. Excellent cell service (Verizon & ATT).A favorite cabin for honeymoons and anniversaries Private campfire. Off-season discounts. No extra

10/10 Excellent

"Yak Ridge was everything we expected!! The pictures don't do the property justice!! We love the fact that we were able to cook our own meals and that all of the utensils were provided with the cabin. It was also pretty cool to look out our window and have deer within 20 yards of the cabin. The location was great, quiet and relaxing! It was also centrally located to alot of attractions. Todd and Cathy were great hosts. Definitely 5 stars and we are looking forward to going back!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!AAA"

Roosevelt Inn Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"My granddaughter and I were very happy with our accomodations at the Roosevelt. The beds were comfortable, the breakfast was good with easy access, the pool and area were clean. We enjoyed the balcony just to watch the people. Perhaps a higher table and chairs would be good though, as the railing is right where you look if you're sitting down. :-) Overall, this was very enjoyable and I would certainly go back, as well as recommend it to my friends and family."

Ramada by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely picturesque location surrounded by mountains, ponderosa pines, aspen and birch trees, just a few miles from Mt. Rushmore. The property was clean and the staff were all very nice and accommodating, clean towels and rollaway were brought promptly when requested. They made fresh cookies every day and put them out all day long, free breakfast was served daily. I will be returning for a longer stay in the future as we didn’t get to do all the things we wanted, there’s so much to see and do in the beautiful black hills."

"Todd and Cathy are THE most amazing hosts! Their property is GORGEOUS, the cabins are IMMACULATE, with everything you need and could want. Centrally located with ALL of the attractions nearby! Todd is a WEALTH of information as far as things to see, times to go, amazing pizza places and just all around, SO knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the area. Seriously.ZERO need to look anywhere else if you're coming to this part of South Dakota. Don't waste your time. Get here!"

"Todd and Cathy’s cabin was a fantastic place to stay while in the Black Hills! It was very clean, quiet, and in a great location. The extra touches, like the welcome basket of snacks, were such a nice surprise - it felt like a home away from home!"
