Top Big Thunder Gold Mine Hotel Reviews

Powder House Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The Powder House Lodge in Keystone, South Dakota, was a real find! Our stay was wonderful—peaceful, serene, and incredibly comfortable. We booked one night and then stayed another two. The facilities were immaculate and accommodating. It was also dog-friendly to boot, which was another wonderful attribute, along with a nice swimming pool. The location was perfect to use as a home base for visiting Mount Rushmore and many parks. Importantly, it even has a Tesla charger. The cuisine at their restaurant was spectacular (amazing steaks and prime rib, even their ranch salad dressing was made from scratch and out of this world) but what really stood out was the staff. They were even more spectacular—friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The Powder House Lodge is truly a hidden gem, and we’re so glad we found it. We’ll definitely be making another trip back in the future. We can’t recommend the Powder House Lodge enough!"
