"Location location location... You can see Mt. Rushmore from the balcony. 3rd floor pull up straight to the room. We had a balcony and a spa tub in the room. Ice, vending, and breakfast easy. Inside pool downstairs. Plenty of seating areas outside. Keystone a block away. Well worth it"

Under Canvas Mount Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Unique property with tents to stay in. Unable to drive to your tent but staff shuttles you and your luggage. Very pleasant staff. "Tent" has laminate flooring and we opted for a bathroom included. Two power pack chargers in each tent as well as 2 lanterns. We wish there would have been at least one power outlet instead of just power chargers for using a CPAP."
