Top Big Thunder Gold Mine Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good

"The location was great, it was mostly clean, but had a faint smell. I later found mold on the curtains."

Powder House Lodge

8/10 Good

"Other than the room being small and not having a bathtub in the room just a shower, the stay was wonderful, there’s stairs that are steep and some are a big step up. Close to keystone town. Over all it was a great experience and the convenience of having an option to eat at the restaurant was wonderful as well, would recommend getting there as soon as they open that way you don’t have to wait :)"

Under Canvas Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Visiting Mt. Rushmore with no prior planning was challenging. Having never glamped, staying here was a delightful western experience. The staff was very helpful, the accommodations were exactly as described, the bed very comfortable. It was an enjoyable sleep. The dining was very affordable and quite delicious. Overall it was one of the highlights of our five day trip to the Black Hills and Badlands. Without doubt, we would stay at an Under Canvas facility again."
