Great place to stay when touring the Black Hills. We enjoyed the fire pit and the pub for dinner. We would stay here again.

This lodge is in a perfect location to reach all the local sites and only a few minutes the downtown Keystone. Wooded and quiet with a view of Washingtons profile! The restaurant food was good. The staff were all very nice and accommodating. We enjoyed the firepit.

The place is very nice and on nice grounds. It is close to everything. Would have preferred to be able to enjoy the fire pit and outside deck which was being used for a wedding/private event. It’s advertised for the guests and should not be part of a private event. We only got to sit out there once for 3 nights with a private event and the weather against us. A private event should not use regular guest amenities.

We stayed at KbarS during our trip to South Dakota. The property is stunning, the staff are all friendly and helpful. There was even an outdoor hot tub between lodges that had a view of Mount Rushmore. So glad we chose this resort
