Beautiful grounds, friendly staff and our room had a great view of the mountains. Definitely recommend this place over staying in town! And it’s close enough to walk around town should you choose to do so!

We had a great stay at KBar S Lodge! The property is beautifully spread out, offering a peaceful setting and lovely views of Mt. Rushmore from several spots around the lodge. Our room was clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the quiet, scenic surroundings.
The complimentary breakfast was decent, with a good variety of options to start the day. The breakfast area itself is cozy and well-maintained, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy a meal before heading out to explore.
Would definitely recommend this lodge to anyone visiting the Keystone area!

Beautiful place to stay
We could see George Washington's head out our room window
It looked right to the site
And we could see it lit at night
Easy to get in and out
Very comfortable sleep
And great breakfast

The. Property is in a beautiful setting. The bed wAs comfortable. F w it a poor rating because there wAs not hot water for shower either in the evening or in the morning. Both of us got sick from dinner at the lodge. Left a day early. Yes, they did try to fix the water temp, but I don't think they knew what they were doing.
