My wife and I were looking for a B&B in South Dakota instead of the usual Hotel. Because there are…read morelimited 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!

Breakfast is not only delicious but beautifully presented. The location is out of town in the country but close enough to attractions and town. For country girls like me this is wonderful!

The front desk and other staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping is by request but you can also easily ask for items at the front desk like trash bags, toilet paper, etc. The pool was fairly nice (water was pretty chilly and the tile outside the pool was very slippery when wet) but the hot tub was closed for maintenance sadly. We really wish there had been an outdoor area with a table or lounge furniture to be able to sit outside in the morning or evenings. We stayed in the more rustic rooms with outside entry. The door never seemed to latch/seal well and was loud. Beds were comfortable enough but moved a lot and the A/C worked overtime to keep the room cool. We didn't hear much from other rooms or from outside. The towels are very small and it should be standard to include a few more (especially for a two bed room). While parking is limited, it's convenient to be able to park outside your room for the most part. Hot water was good for the most part--there was one night where the shower would not stay hot but I think maybe a lot of people were using it at the same time. It was nice to have breakfast included but it doesn't start until 7am--this was too late if you want to get an early start to any of the area parks. It would be nice for it to start at 6:00 or 6:30am. While there's a coffee maker in the rooms, it's a small cup and would be nice if coffee in the lobby/breakfast area was also available earlier (before 7:00am).

The facilities were in need of a makeover and refresh. The towels and sheets were dingy and new towels and sheets were needed. The very small refrigerator was sitting on the floor with the microwave on top of it. I dropped some crumbs on the floor on the first night, the cleaning staff did not vacuum it up before we left after two more nights; and we did leave a tip for the cleaning staff each day. The water drainage in the sink smelled each night when we returned from the day's outings. The price was very economical, I should have taken that as a clue, however, the reviews were excellent so we took a chance. I would not stay here again.

She greeted us immediately when we arrived at her beautiful lodge and gave us the tour. We arrived in the evening, so we got settled in and then got to hang out with other individuals who were staying here at the lodge. It was great! At around 8pm, Marilyn informed us that she always has a home made desert that she serves in the evening, which was just perfect. Wine, dessert, great accommodations in the middle of a beautiful, serene, quite and peaceful location; what more can you ask for. In the morning, she makes a excellent breakfast which includes, coffee, juice, pastries, eggs,etc. The perfect food you need for your fun adventures that this area provides. My wife and I would strongly recommend staying at this place if you are to see all the wonderful things that this area provides. The best thing is that you are away from all of the other tourists at night and you just relax, open a bottle of wine and just enjoy the beautiful surroundings in the evening. You even have a distant view of Mt. Rushmore lit up at night, which just adds to the ambiance.

A private outdoor hot tub, under the countless stars, is a perfect romantic escape for couples. It has a queen bed, sofa TV, DVD player and a CD player. There is a small kitchen area with refrigerator, microwave and a coffee maker. Outside there is a gas grill and picnic table. The owner, Joyce, will fix you a delicious breakfast every morning and deliver it to your door with fresh juice and hot coffee. It is a very convenient drive to many of the sights around. We especially enjoyed Custer State Park. The are many birds that are in the surrounding area and a quiet walk to the woods will allow you to view many species. If you are interested ask Joyce to tell you what she's seen and she'll let you know. Book early.

From the moment we arrived, we were shown nothing but kindness and hospitality from the operators Tara and Mike. The welcoming environment of this place extends into every nook and cranny. Guests can access free microwave popcorn, sodas, ice, and coffee, and can access the main lodge at anytime and sit on the couches or read in the library area. There is wifi accessible and our room came with a tv that included access to a variety of apps, including Netflix. We were fortunate enough to bunk in a family suite and it is perfectly suited for a group of people that are looking for a home-away-from-home feel. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and open-concept kitchen and living area, it really felt like we had our own apartment here. The kitchen and bathrooms are thoughtfully stocked with travel-sized toiletries and condiments, and there are plenty of dishes and cookware to utilize. There would be no need to worry about cooking in the morning, however, because breakfast is prepared and delicious! Every morning was plenty to fill me up for hours, and the variety and quality of food was really exceptional. It is served at a communal table, so everyone at the lodge eats together. This turned out to be the most pleasant surprise, as we began establishing friendships and connections with other people. Between the friendly staff, the beautiful location, and the impressive breakfast, Hisega Lodge went far and above my expectations. I intend to recommend this place to anyone who is looking to stay in the Rapid City area.
