Great Location

Quaint and peaceful location right off the highway outside keystone. It was the perfect size for our family and the hosts gave us great recommendations for the area! We would highly recommend Sylvan Lake along with the lighting ceremony at Mount Rushmore. We definitely hope to come back!

Rustic Ridge is an awesome property run by great people. It's centrally located between tons of attractions, great hiking spots and 20 minutes from Rapid City. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, and priced very reasonably. I will definitely be returning.

Mount Rushmore vacation

The entire experience was OUTSTANDING, the property manager was very helpful and professional. The location of the property is close enough to the sites while far enough away from other vacationers and tourists. And very quiet. I'd DEFINITELY STAY THERE AGAIN!!!!

I wish we could give this place a 6-star rating! We loved our cozy cabin and all the amenities that came with it. The owners were extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding area and gave us great advice about how to plan our daily excursions. The cabins had absolutely everything we needed to cook our meals at the end of the day. It was very quiet at night and mornings on the porch were beautiful. Highly recommend this place!

Great location between Keystone and Hill City, Rapid City about 30 minutes east, Deadwood less than an hour north. Cabin easily slept four comfortably (pullout available if more), and kitchenette in combo with Krull's Market 10 minutes away meant we weren't eating out every day. Scenic, peaceful -- When we weren't out and about, we had the perfect place to just sit, relax, enjoy. Kids already clamoring to go back next year!

Great place to stay

There wasn’t much open during our winter visit to the area, so we were glad to find these cute cabins that allow pets and are centrally located. We cooked our own meals and stayed warm and cozy despite the frigid conditions outside.
