Baymont by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Elevator was not working on the east side of the building and the staff stated that it has been down all year. Someone should have this fixed as I believe this is a safety issue."

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay near Mount Rushmore, the staff is great the breakfast is very good, the room could be cleaner carpet was dirty and ceiling fans were very dusty other than that it was a great stay, we enjoyed our time there."

The Hynes Cabin – A Spacious Renovated 1925 Classic with Stunning Views

Lodge at Palmer Gulch

8/10 Good

"Great place for a family trip!"

Granite Ridge Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I can't say enough good things about this property! This lodge has everything you need and more. Plenty of towels for guests, comfortable beds, very spacious, beautiful patio to set out and make s'mores in the fireplace. So peaceful and quiet. No shortage of hot water with our group. The hot tub was another great plus! You are definitely secluded which my group of 11 liked. It's only 6-7 miles to Hill City or Keystone so a great location. We had an issue with plumbing a couple of times but maintenance was sent out and the problem solved by the time we returned. Rushmore Vacations is wonderful to deal with. Loved iur stay at Granite Ridge Lodge."

10/10 Excellent

"This house was perfect for what we needed! Lots of space for 8 adults, clean, and the hosts were very responsive when we had a battery issue with the thermostat. Great communication and easy fix! Would definitely book again if we go back with a big group. PS...loved returning each night to deer greeting us in the front yard!"
