Beautiful setting among the pines with a slight, profile view of Thomas Jefferson. Rooms are standard, nothing exciting, but, the balcony made up for any shortcoming. Fan tied to same switch as the light in the bathroom is irritating. Coffee all day is nice in the main lobby. Breakfast would have to improve to be to Hampton Hotel's level.

We stayed at the K Bar S for 6 days in May and could not have been more pleased with it. It is "up the road" from Keystone so you feel like you are in the country. The buildings are well suited to its location and reminded us of many of the State Park Lodges we have in our native... More

We spent a relaxing, peaceful weekend getaway at K Bar S Lodge. Close to town but felt secluded. (So glad we chose this over "in town" hotels!) The room was good sized, comfortable and the view from the balcony was wonderful. It overlooks a big meadow (deer grazing), wooded hillsides and a view of Mt. Rushmore that's lit at night.... More

This is a classy, upscale lodge just one mile outside of Keystone SD with awesome views of the cliffs & woods. Everything looked brand new. There was no microwave or frig in the rooms but the beds were great. Staff was friendly. Had a good hot breakfast served in a huge octagon shaped glass gazebo where you can watch the... More

We stayed several nights August, 2012 during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and had a great experience. Clean, comfortable, friendly and helpful staff, great breakfasts, and friendly guests. Great view at night of Mount Rushmore from our balcony. Would definitely stay again! Oh, and great for motorcyclists as well. Free wash station to clean bikes too.

Outstanding location with a view of the big heads. A short walk to down town Keystone. Perfect location. Great value, nice clean large room, good bed. The only negative is we were right off the lobby and with the bus tours loading in the morning you didn't need an alarm clock.

Our room was on the back side of the lodge but probably because of the price. You can go to a common area with a balcony and see Mt. Rushmore. Yes, all you can see is Washington's profile, but it is still a great view. The breakfast is your basic motel breakfast. Nothing special. Overall, it was a good place... More

This, by far, is one of the best places we have EVER stayed in. It was quiet, decor was nice, front desk staff went over and above to give information. The price was right. The breakfast offerings were varied and good. The turkeys and deer were all over the property. Certain rooms have a view of Mt. Rushmore. The price... More

My husband and I were celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary by visiting South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. We were driving to Mt Rushmore as one of our first stops and saw the K Bar S lodge in Keystone. We were very impressed with the accomodations, the friendliness of the staff and the beautiful setting of the lodge. We have stayed... More

It's a great location and I am sure it is better in peak season, so believe me it is probably the best place to stay in Keystone. My only criticism is the rooms could do with a makeover, they are a bit old fashioned.
