Mt. Rushmore Visit
My wife and I stayed one night on our trip to see Mt. Rushmore.
I highly recommend this place. You can see the Mountain from the hotel! The restaurant has good food with a view on the porch. I wish breakfast had been open a little longer.

Fantastic Hotel with view of Mt Rushmore!
K Bar S Lodge is fantastic! View of Black Hills is superb, rooms are furnished with excellent mattresses; reasonably priced meals in their cafe; very tasty complimentary breakfast buffet served in Gazebo with great menu options; gracious and friendly welcoming staff; 15 minutes from Mt Rushmore; Very Friendly guests week before Sturgis Rally!
'Little surprised' that guests are charged 18.5% on top of menu prices to pay salaries of wait staff. Then another tips is optional but encouraged.
But we will return to K Bar S on our next trip to Mt Rushmore and 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

I loved this place.
It was a pity I was only here one night because I loved this place. Beautiful location surrounded by forest and with a view of Mount Rushmore from the room too. I felt at peace there. Dinner at the pub there was reasonably priced too and it was lovely to sit outside on the verandah enjoying both the meal and the view. There was also a good choice of breakfast which was included.

Great location
Beautiful property close to Mount Rushmore & the town of Keystone. Our room faced Mount Rushmore where we enjoyed sitting on our balcony to take in the monument lit up in the evening. The free breakfast had a great variety of food. The staff very informative and friendly. The room & bathroom older, but clean. My only recommendation for the hotel is to update the rooms. Otherwise, great location on beautiful wooded property.

So Relaxing !
This lodge is in a perfect location to reach all the local sites and only a few minutes the downtown Keystone. Wooded and quiet with a view of Washingtons profile! The restaurant food was good. The staff were all very nice and accommodating. We enjoyed the firepit.
