It is a beautiful location, but disappointed when we arrived to be told they were having problems with their well, iron problems. More

My boyfriend and I spent 3 weeks in the Blackhills and the Badlands and this was probably the best lodging we stayed at. We stayed 4 nights in the Annie Talent room. It was by far the largest bedroom I have ever stayed in featuring two large double beds, a large jacuzzi tub in the corner of the bedroom and... More

We stayed in the Peter Norbeck room at the Buffalo Rock Lodge for four days. My husband and I stay exclusively at bed and breakfasts inns, and the Buffalo Rock Lodge rates among our top ten. Pros: The view, the view the view. Our room had a view of Mount Rushmore. The room was large and comfortable. Art's breakfast--particularly his... More

My husband and I planned a last minute trip that happened to fall over Sturgis and thanks to a last minute cancellation we had the opportunity to stay at Buffalo Rock. Our room was wonderful, the home was beautiful, Art could not have made better breakfast if he ran a restaurant, and Marylin could not have been a more wonderful... More

My wife and I stayed with Carl and Marilyn for two nights in June and were delighted. Finding this rural, but ideally located spot amidst the tackiness and clutter of Keystone, SD was a stroke of good fortune and good reviews. Absolutely charming and beautiful location and ambiance. The deck overlooks Mt Rushmore in the distance- but even better -overlooks... More

What a beautiful setting with a distant but clear view of Mt. Rushmore. The lodge is beautiful, rustic, but very comfortable and very home-y. Marilyn and Art provided everything we could possibly want, from customized driving directions for each day of our stay, to wonderful breakfasts and delicious evening desserts. I would not hesitate to recommend Buffalo Rock to anyone... More

There is nothing we would have changed. The accommodations were first class. The hosts were warm and friendly as well as extremely knowledgeable and fun. From the porch you can see Mt Rushmore in the distance. Our room was large and very comfy. And to top it off the food was to die for. Marilyn and Art have set the... More

We thought we'd eaten well at most of the B&Bs on our trip out west, but nothing can compare to the lavish, original, ingenious, delicious meals that Art and Marilyn prepare for their guests. They make the most of fruits and vegetables in their morning dishes and offer many choices; you serve yourself from a buffet and take what you... More

The Buffalo Rock Lodge exceeded every expectation. Marilyn and Art made us feel welcome from the second we arrived. The BRL is a log home style lodge with very large bedrooms (we stayed in the Gideon), a wonderful deck with views of Mt. Rushmore and a lodge style interior full of interesting antiques and articles from the local area. The... More
