This was a very nice, family friendly place to stay. You are about 40 minutes from Rapid City Airport, 1 minute from downtown Keystone, and minutes away from Mount Rushmore and other activities. I highly recommend this place if you are doing a South Dakota trip.

We were pleasantly surprised! The lodge is in a perfect location for visiting Mt Rushmore and walking into Keystone. Great breakfast, nice lobby area, well maintained. Our room was a little dark/dated, but we spend most time outdoors so it wasn’t an issue. Would definitely book again.
