My wife and I were looking for a B&B in South Dakota instead of the usual Hotel. Because there are limited nice Hotels in this area, we preferred to go the B&B option. The B&B is situated about 5,000 ft. above sea level on several acres of land. The drive is absolutely beautiful and you are in close proximity to all the area attractions (Mt. Rushmore, etc). Amenities: The room we stayed in was very cozy and had all the nice amenities you would expect from a B&B. Not too large, but not too small. The hosts make you feel at home so don't feel shy about asking them questions. Your room is actually part of the house, so your room is across the hallway from other visitors. We didn't mind because our neighbors were very respectable and there are only two other rooms. The doors lock, however you don't get a key to your room so the back door stays open. They have an open door policy and I didn't find this to be a problem. Our car was parked within a short distance to our back door so there was no need to lug your gear up any challenging walkways. Everything was neat and clean and your room is cleaned daily. The food is exceptional. Leslie is a gourmet cook and will accommodate any needs you have (like Gluten free). She makes a great variety of foods in each of her breakfast so it is not the same every time. The portions are just right and it gets you enough food to get you through a good part of the day. Travel: You will do a lot of driving as you have to go about 6 miles of winding beautiful road down to the town of Keystone everyday you travel. It takes about 15 minutes. You need to watch for wildlife because there is a lot of it! Company: Leslie and Ron were wonderful hosts and they know a wealth of knowledge about the area. Other: They have two animals: a very loving Lab and Cat. They were very well behaved animals and they didn't bother us in the slightest. Price: The price was very comparable to a Hotel, but here you receive a full course breakfast and the beautiful surroundings without the noisy crowds of a hotel. We would definitely stay here again if given the chance!
