Couldn’t have been happier with our stay. My 3rd time to the Black Hills and this was by far the best. Exceeded my expectations. I can’t imagine a nicer place to stay in the Black Hills.

This home was amazing! Talk about your own private mountain/forest with views of Mt. Rushmore! We ended up having to move to another rental because this one was booked up for our week long stay, but I wish we could have remained here. We enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of sight seeing. You will not regret staying here!

Black Hills Retreat

We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful home, loaded with amenities and all the comforts of home. Beautiful view, secluded, and very well kept. Our favorite landing spot of our 13 day road trip to Yellowstone!

This property is absolutely breathtaking! The views are unmatched and so beautiful! The management was extremely kind and responsive. The inside was clean, had everything for a comfortable stay! This place is worth the splurge! There are some kids games and the hot tub was well maintained. We were so thankful for the opportunity to stay here!

Fabulous Stay

First of all the location was spectacular and VERY private, but close to everything. The house is very well done and appointed with all the amenities you would need. If you want a nice place to relax and reset, this is it. Book it, you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely escape

The house has been recently updated and everything seems practically new. Great hot tub, and wonderful star gazing. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the privacy especially after a long trip. Super close to Mt Rushmore and less than 30 minutes from Rapid City. We really enjoyed our stay.

This place was amazing and we loved it as soon as we walked in the door! It was so cozy and the kitchen, scenery, and hot tub were outstanding - we simply didn’t want to leave! We will definitely look here if we come back to the Black Hills and appreciate the opportunity to stay in such a private and relaxing atmosphere!

Wonderful Home

We stayed at this home in June. We had originally booked it for 5 days and then added 2 more days. The location was great. Very quiet and very private, but close enough to everything we wanted to do in the area. Absolutely everything was wonderful for us. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and utensils and the grill of course was useful. We dont eat out alot when we travel so having a good kitchen is something I look for when booking a rental. We really did enjoy this property. The view of the night sky was spectacular. We will definitely rent again!

Amazing trip in the Black Hills

This home is amazing. We travel frequently and have stayed at some great rentals, but it’s clear the owners have gone above and beyond with this property. We were greeted with a personalized thank you card and bottle of wine on arrival. The home has a heated bathroom floor, heated toilet seat 😆, binoculars for wildlife viewing, and popcorn with popcorn bowls for the theater room. The views are amazing. The house was perfectly clean and very welcoming. We’d absolutely stay here again. The only thing we’d do differently is not rent a tiny compact car—-our rental struggled going up the steep portions of the gravel road.

Amazing lodge, gorgeous views

We stayed for a week at the Black Hills Mtn Lodge with our 4 kids ages 2-12 and had the most amazing time. The location is one of a kind: beautiful, comfortable, quiet, and secluded. We found this to be central and convenient for our South Dakota activities. The lodge is gorgeous, very well equipped, very clean, and everything is quite new. The hot tub was wonderful to relax in after a day of activities and our kids also really enjoyed the arcade. Communication with the host was prompt and helpful. Tips: get groceries in Rapid City as there is no grocery store in Keystone that I am aware of. Highly recommend an all wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicle to get to the lodge, even in the summer. It is on a well maintained forest service road, but still quite a climb with several tight turns and drops. We absolutely loved our stay here and would recommend this place to anyone!

Views of Mount Rushmore

Everything in this home was top notch! The kitchen appliances were first rate and we enjoyed cooking a lot of our meals! The views were fantastic! We could even see when they lit up Mount Rushmore at the nightly lighting ceremony! The hot tub was fantastic and very clean! Great sunrise views from the hot tub. The grill was extremely clean! Everything was clean and fresh and looked like it had never been lived in! The master suite on the first floor had a phenomenal bathroom! The second floor bedroom had a full bath as well. You did have to go out of the room and down a couple of steps to get to the bathroom. This bathroom doesn't have any counterspace so be sure and bring a hanging toiletry bag. There are so many outdoor patios and balconies to enjoy! The media room set up is also extremely nice. We loved the privacy and having no neighbors (or barking dogs to have to listen to). The location was great with easy access to most things. The only thing we wished we had known before hand was that Keystone does not have a grocery store - just a little country store that was out of almost everything! If we had known we would have brought groceries with us. We had to drive into Rapid City (about 30 minutes) to get groceries. We would definitely recommend this home!
