Granite Ridge Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I can't say enough good things about this property! This lodge has everything you need and more. Plenty of towels for guests, comfortable beds, very spacious, beautiful patio to set out and make s'mores in the fireplace. So peaceful and quiet. No shortage of hot water with our group. The hot tub was another great plus! You are definitely secluded which my group of 11 liked. It's only 6-7 miles to Hill City or Keystone so a great location. We had an issue with plumbing a couple of times but maintenance was sent out and the problem solved by the time we returned. Rushmore Vacations is wonderful to deal with. Loved iur stay at Granite Ridge Lodge."

The Minnesota Ridge Cabin

"This cabin is cute, quaint and a little bit off the beaten path, but also close enough to area attractions. Although we didn’t make use of the pool… this would be a big selling point for many! Would definitely recommend this place to others!"
