The most comfortable, quiet and picturesque experience!
Pros:

We loved the dining, the best in the area! Scenic views where the cabin was located was awesome, and it is close to the sites visitors like to see. Overall, the best experience of all the hotels (5) we stayed at during our 10 day trip!

Cons:

We did not want to leave.

A quaint place to stay in this SD area.
Pros:

The adjacent restaurant was very good for the 2 meals we ate there. Staff was first rate. Rooms were a bit on the small side but we managed by stacking things. Very clean and attendant linen requests. The location was central to all of our local travels.

Cons:

A larger room? A bit cramped but you can make do.

Relaxing short stay in the Black Hills
Pros:

Beautiful setting in the Black Hills. The room was small, but it was clean and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the outdoor sitting area. But probably what we will remember most is the on site restaurant, which was fabulous! We ate there for dinner and then came back for breakfast. We enjoyed the location away from the noise and crowds in Keystone.

Cons:

Since our stay was a room in a row of rooms up a hill, we had to navigate outdoor stone steps to get to the room with our luggage. Knowing this, I guess you can request a room with no steps.

Awesome wooden cabins close to Mount Rushmore
Pros:

I stayed here for one day and night and we were pleasantly surprised! The room itself is is small , but the wooden interior and the cabin vibe is incredible.
The water pressure in the shower was high which meant a thoroughly refreshing shower! Also, the parking is right in front of our room, which was very convenient.
Beside the room itself, the property boasts a heated pool in the middle of trees and mountains....a kind of view hard to find in chain hotels!
There is a proper restaurant on the property. The seating and interior follows the same wooden theme, which continues to give you adventurous vibes.
The food is incredible... we had the trout ... fresh and tasty and properly cooked as a trout should be cooked!
Super close to Mount Rushmore, the best location ever!

Will definitely return. We were celebrating our 43rd anniversary and couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Thank you Powder Hou
Pros:

I loved our cabin. Secluded but easily accessible. Everything we needed was provided. Fantastic little deck to sip coffee and enjoy peace in the mornings. Comfortable beds and great water pressure. Lovely decor and fireplace. Was happy with Direct TV since we were familiar with their format and didn’t have to search for our favorite channels.

Cons:

Laundry facilities were cramped. Needed a little table to fold laundry on. My personal opinion only was that the restaurant didn’t live up to the hype. Could have been our choices,my husband had the wild game plate and I had a steak. Okay but not great
