We stayed at Buffalo Rock Lodge for two nights and would recommend it as a charming getaway in the Keystone/Mt Rushmore area. The Lodge is located just off Route 16A (Iron Mountain Road) and is only a few miles from Keystone on the North Playhouse Road. Street signing is a bit vague in the area, but the Lodge is well...

This was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast and boy did they set the bar high. We cannot say enough about the lodge and the hosts Art & Marilyn. They are a wealth of information for the area and the food was delicious. We would certainly recommend anyone to stay at Buffalo Rock. Conversation and dessert in... More

Marilyn and Art know the state's best features and so much of its wonderful history. She is an excellent tour guide. We spent 4 days under her guidance (via computer print out) and had an awesome time seeing so many great places. My husband has a special interest in geology; and we would have missed so much there if Marilyn... More

What a great B&B. We recently spent 4 nights here and would go back in heart beat. The room was beautiful and the bed so comfortable. Marilyn kept us hopping and because of her, I'm sure we saw things we wouldn't have stopped at on our own. The breakfasts and desserts on the deck will be one of our favorite... More

Our family of four stayed four nights in the 2 queen bedded Gideon Room. The lodge definitely feels like a mountain home with large exposed logs on the walls and ceilings. Much thought was placed in designing and decorating this lodge which includes an attractive sitting area with fireplace, large deck with view of Mt. Rushmore, pool table, and spa... More

Buffalo Rock Lodge is an exceptional B&B! We recently visited the Black Hills with two other couples and had the best time at Buffalo Rock Lodge. We spent 6 nights with Art and Marilyn and hated to leave! Marilyn and Art make you right at home in their GORGEOUS home! They are the ultimate hosts and truly make you part... More

We stayed 5 nights with Marilyn and Art...absolutely BEAUTIFUL home...large, clean, comfortable room! Breakfast each morning was wonderful (the buzz about the bacon...true!!..we were lucky enough to have it twice)...dessert on the porch in the evenings with Marilyn and the other guests added a special touch. Marilyn knows all about the area, and has some wonderful stories to tell..and she... More

We have the good fortune of workamping at Bufflo Rock Lodge this summer which means we live on site in our RV and help part time at the lodge cleaning and doing other labors of love. And TLC and love is what a guest can expect during their stay here. Art and Marilyn truly know how to make folks feel... More

Buffalo Rock B&B is a real treasure. Located in a pleasant Black Hills forest setting with a wonderful view of Mount Rushmore from the deck. The rooms are large and well appointed, with fine linens and a hot tub in each room. Food - Wow!! Great breakfasts and a homemade dessert to finish off the day, served with a full... More
