This was the first stop on our driving tour of the upper midwest. I booked historic 'cabin #7' based on the website description. Very nice! The off-season rate made it a great value. It was authentic and well-appointed with a comfy bed, two lounge chairs & seating area and a very nice updated bathroom. The owners were more than willing... More

I cannot say enough about our experience at Holy Smoke. The cabins were terrific. We came to fulfill a dream for my brother-in-law who has cancer. The owners listened to our needs and help me select the best cabins for us. We rented the duplex cabin which was just right for privacy yet we were close. The rooms were very... More

Very nice rustic atmosphere. Owner was nice and very accommodating, especially with our late arrival. The view of the stars was spectacular. The cabin was very clean and nice. Location is fantastic because it is so close to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer National Park.

We spent a week in one of your cabins. A very nice setting. Room was clean and service was friendly. The cabin was clean and adequately supplied with incidentals. Internet service was very good and we had great weather. Would recommend it to anyone.

We visited here twice during our week's stay. Our first visit to the restaurant was quite satisfactory.....food and service was OK. We wanted to go there a second time. But upon exiting our vehicle, a co-traveler pointed out a bold sign at roadside in front of the restaurant. The message was so inappropriate, prejudiced and narrow-mindedly politically against our Nation's... More

Sorry you missed a second good meal. You have a right to disagree with me. I have a second ammendment right to free speech and I do stand on my opinion. Was my second ammendment right "inappropriate" because you happen to disgree? That's your right as well. I have had more customers come in that agree than those that left... More

The cabins are tucked away in the woods...far enough off the highway to let you forget about the traffic, and are cozy as they could be. The location is perfect...Keystone is only a minute or so away....lots of things to do and see nearby....and the management treats you like family. What could be better?

We stayed in cabin 3 for 2 nights. Check in was weird because they approved the cabin but we were told we couldn't have it because their was only room for two but they got us Cabin 3 which was very nice. Also for check in you have to go up the hill to a different place not the campground.... More

The scenery in and around Keystone S. Dakota is spectacular. Would love to go back again. Seeing Mt. Rushmore up close and in person is enough to take your breath away. We loved Custer State Park so much we took the Wildlife Loop 3 times. Also went to the Fort Hayes chuck wagon dinner and show which was great.

Our group stayed in 15A & B which is the middle cabin at the very top of the hill. It's a pretty steep road to get up to the top cabins but we never had a problem getting up the hill and the benefits were great. There were deer and wild turkeys that would walk behind our cabins and you... More
