We had about 2 inches of water in our stove, it made it very hard to keep a fire going the first night, it had rained and we had standing water under the heat stove, we had housekeeping clean it up before we realized there was standing water inside the heat stove. Now it had rained very heavily before we got there but looking at the cap to the stove pipe, it was bent and damaged, allowing water to come into the stove. Also we were inundated with moths both nights after dark, that was memorable.

A lot of stuff wasn’t explained when checked in. How to use shower, how to get hot water, how to start fire stove and how to keep running, where’s comforter for sofa bed, where’s dryer etc. Every staff has different skills with fire stove and some staff even can’t start the fire and expect us to do it was too much to ask. The location was wonderful and staff were friendly. But needed more information and instruction.

The experience you have is highly dependent on which specific tent location you're assigned (luck of the draw). Our first night we were given a tent immediately next to the parking lot, and all night we had to hear car doors slamming shut, car horns honking, and had lights shining into our tent. It was a horrible experience and not what I signed up for when paying almost $500 a night for a getaway in nature. Fortunately we were able to move tents to one of the best locations on the property for our second and third nights. But the variability and uncertainty in tent location make me doubt I'd stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at Under Canvas Mount Rushmore. The staff were all super friendly. Loved the dinner, meeting other guests over smores and the campfire, and hanging out on the deck with a (distant) view of Mount Rushmore. The facilities were all very clean. Will definitely check out some other Under Canvas locations!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at Under Canvas. We ended up there on a very wet Memorial day so it was a bit challenging with all the mud. However, we chose to go glamping so we didn’t let it affect our experience. My favorite thing about Under Canvas is the friendliness of the staff. They were kind, helpful and fast with requests. The beds in the canvas’s were so comfy and the hot water bottles available for night time were genius!! The only negatives thus the 4 stars would have been the lack of seating inside at the restaurant when it’s cold and rainy and the fact our shower had a pull chain so you if you want continuous water you have to keep pulling the handle. My sisters tent had a turn knob so they were good. I might provide a weight that can be hung on the chain while showering. But It wasn’t impossible lol. Thank you Under Canvas for a memorable stay.

The staff was helpful and the tent was a "different" experience. I would recommend fixing the road up to Under Canvas because it was very secluded and bumpy, we thought we were driving into someone's private property.

A fantastic experience! Everything about this property was awesome. The staff were lovely, the facilities were spotlessly clean, the beds were super comfortable, and the whole property was amongst the trees, super peaceful and quiet! As a bonus, Mount Rushmore is visable from their viewing deck which was a wonderful spot for evening drinks and breakfasts! We would definitely stay again!
