Super cute rustic cabins!
Super cute rustic cabin. Loved the fire place and hot tub! The mattress was well worn and felt like a water buffalo slept on it. Also disappointed that the kitchenette only had styrofoam cups (didn't know anyone used those anymore)... not very environmental friendly for a place nestled in the woods.

I loved this hotel! It was cozy and clean. A major highlight was the restaurant which was very close and had reasonably priced food. It is in the middle of so much and close to the town of Keystone which is unique. The only negative is our room/cabin had a lot of road noise but not a big deal.

Our little “cabin room” was definitely a match for our visits to old mining towns and hiking. After we had a large rocking chair moved out of the room, we had adequate space for our suitcase. The small bathroom could be improved simply by adding hooks to dry towels. The restaurant was wonderful in all aspects.

Nice rustic feel, but within easy driving distance of Keystone, Rapid City, Custer SP, Mount Rushmore, etc.; I wanted someplace that didn't feel like a chain hotel, and Powder House Lodge delivered.

Convenient. The food in the restaurant was outstanding. Not sure what went wrong but we did not stay in a cabin as we wanted. When first arriving the greeting was not too friendly. All in all it was ok.

Great location. Our cabin was wonderful. The food in their restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. The lady that checked us in could have made her guests feel more welcome. I think she might have too many things to do at one time and is also suffering from what I call, “end of the season “ syndrome. So overlooking that, we loved the Powder House Lodge and would stay there again.
