We had to carry our luggage up the stairs. The towels and bed clothes looked dirty. We figured out that it was probably the iron in the water but we should have been warned. I was told that we should have called them personally but how when we have no number. The price was outlandish compared to others. All in all I will not be back.

The room is fine. It has a rustic feel, but also just feels old. But we slept well and our dogs were welcome. Very close to Mt. Rushmore and we were given a discount to their onsite restaurant.

We loved our short visit at Powder House. At 1st we didnt like the idea of being the 1st cabin. But we sat on our porch and had a great time visiting with a few local customers coming to eat at the restaurant and watching the traffic (not much) go by. The room itself was comfortable and quiet.

This is a cute little grouping of cabins about 1 mile past the main stretch of the busy part of Keystone, SD. If you've never been to Keystone, like us, it's much like Gatlinburg, TN with a very busy downtown area. This lodge is up from that a bit, which we liked. The checkin was easy and the cabins themselves were newer and very well maintained. The pool was the only thing we were slightly disappointed with. It's very small and leaves much to be desired. I think upgrading the pool at some point would be great for Powder House to consider, but it's clean and served it's purpose. The Powder House Lodge is delicious and highly recommend you have dinner there. It's fancier and more expensive then you'd expect from the outside and quaintness of it's appearance, which was actually very charming. I'd stay here again and wish we'd had more time to stay longer since we were just passing through.
