Great place to stay

There wasn’t much open during our winter visit to the area, so we were glad to find these cute cabins that allow pets and are centrally located. We cooked our own meals and stayed warm and cozy despite the frigid conditions outside.

Great Location

Quaint and peaceful location right off the highway outside keystone. It was the perfect size for our family and the hosts gave us great recommendations for the area! We would highly recommend Sylvan Lake along with the lighting ceremony at Mount Rushmore. We definitely hope to come back!

Mount Rushmore vacation

The entire experience was OUTSTANDING, the property manager was very helpful and professional. The location of the property is close enough to the sites while far enough away from other vacationers and tourists. And very quiet. I'd DEFINITELY STAY THERE AGAIN!!!!
