Battle Creek Lodge

We had a great experience staying at the Battle Creek Lodge during our visit to see Mount Rushmore. You can tell upon arrival that the owners take pride in their property. The room was clean, especially the very comfortable bed, and nicely appointed. Tammy was very helpful in providing guidance to area attractions and helpful tips. My family and I will certainly stay again the next time we visit the area.

Very nice place and has that feeling of home, not like big chain hotels. Conveniently close to many sights and places in Keystone. Would definitely come back.

Caught in a rain storm, Battle Creek lodge was recommended. Not a big lodge but very well kept, clean and very reasonably priced. Large bathroom, comfy towels and shower hat amazingly hot water and great water pressure. Owner was very pleasant and helpful. I would definitely stay here again !!

By far the best place and people to stay with. Tammy and Cine are always so kind and loving to anyone who stays with them. We won't stay anywhere else when we come to the black hills area. Cabins are always so clean and cozy and you can't beat the scenery. Just a perfect weekend getaway!

Great room, central location to Black Hills, great hosts! Appreciate the insiders tips for all attractions and enjoy supporting local owners !! Walking distance to downtown Keystone, plenty of dining options, train depot etc. Will stay here again!

On the way there that day, I got a text message that they do NOT want to accept us. First of all, I called them the day I booked this room which was in July and I told them that there were two adults and a child. I talked to one of the owners named Tammy, she said it was OK. That call was recorded. After I booked, I wrote a note and said we had two service dogs in July. Then I got a text message, not even an apology call and stating they didn’t want to accept us on the afternoon that we were trying to check in. I immediately called them, the same lady said she was Susan instead Tammy this time and denied that we had a conversation about booking the room that she was OK with 2 adults and a son. She was nasty and a liar. They refused us because we had service animals which was against law. They are rude on the phone and liars. You must be crazy staying there under these people’s care. The owners are dishonest, nasty and liars.

The lady at the desk was very nice and very helpful. The hotel itself needs a thorough cleaning and rooms could use some fresh paint. It did for us what we needed for one night.

If u like complete high lifestyle this place isnt for you. But if u like a nice cozy cabin with a home like feeling then this is your place to stay. My family and i stayed at the eagle view and we loved it. Also nothing beats a nice stay if owners and managers are friendly and there again they get an A+

This is my forth time staying here. Each time has been better than the last. (If that is possible). The location is great and you can just park your car and walk about 10-15 minutes to town for shopping and eats. Arrived around 7:00 pm and used the code that was e-mailed to me to enter the room. We stayed in room 22 just to the right of the stairs. Room was equipped with two queen beds a 32 inch TV and an AC with remote. The bed was comfortable and had four pillow on each. Also an extra blanket was available if needed. Plenty of storage for clothing. There were also plenty of outlets for most of your electronics. A small fridge was also provided. Bathroom was medium size with a shower/bath, one sink and a toilet. They supply all towels, lotions and soaps. There was a hair dryer if needed. Water pressure was great and hot water came quickly. A small breakfast was provided. It consisted of a few different fruits. They also have danish, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, milk, juices and a few other items that will start your day off right. The coffee was excellent, one of the best I have had. If your lucky. They might have a special snack that they occasionally make for guest. I did get to enjoy a street taco one morning along with the other daily breakfast offerings. It was so good that I'm going to make them when I get home. One of the best part of breakfast is sitting and listening to others talk about their traveling journeys. You can also sit outside at one of the many seating areas and enjoy the fresh air and quietness of the location Your host Cine and Tammy are always helpful with local travel advice. They are also very outgoing and will make your stay very comfortable. They will also make sure you have what you need for a great stay. Here is the history that is located on their web page: This beautiful, cozy, and comfortable lodge was originally built in the 1900’s as the Keystone Fire Hall and was later used as the youth center and gathering place. The flood of 1972 left the building (and the community) in need of major repairs. It was then the “Firehall” was auctioned off and the history of Battle Creek Lodge began. Originally, the property took many forms. From a “mom and pop” style diner to the lodge that exists today. One of our favorite pieces of the property is the history that lays in these walls. From the lobby, where the fire trucks used to park — where the beautiful hand laid rock fireplace now rests. Battle Creek Lodge is full of Keystone’s rich history. If your looking for a hotel that is upscaled such as the Four Season, The Mark, or others. This may not be for you. But if your looking for a clean, comfortable and reasonably priced place to wind down and rest your mind. This is your place. Read other reviews and that will give you an idea of what this place is all about. If you have question call them directly and they will provide you with answers.
