Wonderful

Place was very clean they had a restaurant on the property with a great breakfast. Located near Rushmore but away from the circus atmosphere in keystone
This was a very neat place to stay on my solo trip to the Black Hills area. The restaurant was very nice and the food very delicious. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming.
We absolutely love staying at the Powder House lodge. Great cabins and phenomenal, well-priced food at their restaurant. The only negative would be road noise in some of the cabins.
Clean room and great staff. perfect for seeing keystone area, Mount Rushmore, Needles Highway, and Custer State Park!!! Friendly Staff and great restaurant.
