Nightmare of a Bed
The cabin was clean and neat. However the bed was terrible. It was lumpy and very soft. We had a very hard time sleeping on it. It’s hard to believe anyone would find this an ideal bed or more than marginally acceptable at best. Also, in taking a shower we ran out of hot water once. In taking our next showers we waited a couple of hours after the last person showered before the next person showered (in order for the tank to refill). You shouldn’t have to do this. Third, the Wi-Fi was very spotty. You would have it and then lose it for 10 seconds and then it would reconnect. This happened a lot. Very disappointing. Another thing, there was a big sign outside our cabin that said something like “smile, you are being videotaped.” Not nice. Please get a new bed!

Location was close to Mount Rushmore and Keystone. Cabins were clean. The beds were not great but doable for a short time.

Cute cabin in a pretty setting near Keystone.
Try Powder House Lodge for dinner just 1/2 mile away!!
Close to the beautiful Mt Rushmore.
The helicopter tours were frequent during the day and took off near the cabin, so there was that noise.
Our cabin had a good size refrigerator and microwave.
WiFi is weak.
Bring your own pillows unless you like flat ones!
Take the speed bumps slowly!

Loved the quiet peaceful cabin. A bit small for two couples, as there is only 2 dining chairs at a tiny table to even have a snack.

Stayed 4 nights and was everything we expected. We would absolutely stay there again when in the area. Only room for improvement would be the Wi-Fi didn't seem to be able to support the TV,'s and other electronics that was being used.
