The location was great, just minutes outside Keystone and close to all the major attractions around Mount Rushmore and perfect for exploring the Black Hills. The cabins were cute, with a nice covered porch outside, and it suited us fine for the 5 days we stayed. Ours had a mini fridge and coffee machine, ice was provided, cleaning service was available, and there was air conditioning. The pool was heated, and was great after a long day of sightseeing, and the restaurant on the property had excellent food. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

There was no fan in the bathroom, so the steam from the shower warmed up the room a bit, but the air conditioning helped manage that. Also, the property is right on the 16A Highway, so it was a bit noisy with traffic, but only during the day.

Very conveniently located to reach Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse. Yet not too close to the bustle of Keystone. It is situated next to a highway, which concerned us at first. But it really quiets down at night and it didn't negatively impact our sleep.

We had a squirrel attack the exterior wall, gnawing on the wood for several hours our last night there. But we don't fault the facility. When you are in the woods, the critters can make themselves pests when they want to!

Beautiful and unique property. Cabin was very well taken care of. Pool was heated enough that swimming was possible, even when it was 50 degrees outside. The kids loved it!

Bathroom could use a heat lamp for the colder months. It was freezing the first two days we were there. Wood top above fire place gets extremely hot. Didn’t want to leave fireplace on for too long in fear it would start a fire.

The check-in staff was outstanding! Super friendly, professional, and accommodating. The cabins are charming and quaint, while offering every comfort. The pool and grounds seemed first rate. The restaurant (dinner and breakfast) was simply outstanding. We had the bison cutlet and game sampler. Every dish and flavor were top shelf. And the whole experience was surprisingly affordable. This is a true gem in the region.

The property is really cool!! Lots of rooming options and EXCELLENT restaurant!! Really clean and friendly staff!

We were fine cause we brought our own fan, but the property is on the main road, so traffic noise is really loud. It does have a window A/C and fan, so hopefully it would be enough for you… I’m a very light sleeper so always need a little more white noise… otherwise cute place.

We loved everything about powder house lodge! The rooms were clean, comfortable, pet friendly, and pleasantly located. The restaurant served amazing, large sized portion meals. We can't wait to return next year!

The only thing I could find as a negative is that they're not open all year. We wanted to stay again, but we're lucky enough to have gotten a stay right before they close for the season. Wonderful place!

The Powder House Lodge is centrally located just 10 minutes from Mount Rushmore and surrounding attractions, including the beautiful drives in the Black Hills Forest. We chose a cabin with a fireplace, which turned out to be at the top of the hill above the lodge and restaurant, nestled in the pines with a very private view of the forest from our large deck. The restaurant was fabulous with great food and wonderful staff. It was obviously a popular, highly recommended spot in the local area, as there were customers from other Inns and the local area.

Nothing!

The room was really clean and smelled great. The location was awesome, nearby all the attractions yet nestled in the woods. The staff was helpful and kind - even mailed back my daughter's stuffed animal after she left it there! We had breakfast at the restaurant and it was delicious and affordable!

I can't think of anything to improve upon. I felt safe, I got a great nights sleep, and the scenery was amazing!

Breakfast, lunch and dinner were excellent...Staff excellent

Room size was inadequate to set up the ironing board. The only place near a plug was in the bathroom and it was there that my wife needed to do the ironing. Rustic is the theme I understand but the stairs to our room were unsafe.

Loved it! It's very "log cabin" with a restaurant on site which was really good!! I had hot tea and a salad. I loved all the trees around the property and how close it is to downtown Keystone. The perfect stay if you want a little "mountain" getaway. 🧘🏻‍♀️💖🌞

My room was slightly musty upon arrival but they left the window open to let it air out and it was fine, kind of added to the "log cabin" vibe actually. 🌲🌲🪵🐿️
