Circle B Ranch Chuckwagon Western Show

The Horn family is proud to put on the Circle B Ranch Chuckwagon Western Show.

The magnificence of Mount Rushmore brings a rush of patriotism to each person's heart as they stand in awe of its majesty -- can you imagine seeing it from your very own hotel balcony? Whether you're looking for the closest lodging to Mount Rushmore or a central location for your visit to the Black Hills, you'll find plenty of hotels that will accommodate you during your stay.

President's View Resort

The President's View Resort offers the most dramatic views of Mount Rushmore. Located conveniently in the historic downtown of Keystone, S.D., guests may walk out the door and tour the quaint Western town by walking down the 1880 boardwalk. If the sights aren't big enough for the kids, they'll be tantalized by the treats in the game room, hot tub or indoor swimming pool. It's only a 12-mile drive to Bear Country and Reptile Gardens. Parents will enjoy the fact that kids stay free and the coffee is complimentary, too. If you're interested in a little Western hospitality, The President's View Resort has an on-site bar and lounge.

Mount Rushmore Royal Express

The Mount Rushmore Royal Express is also nestled in the foothills near the monument and just minutes away from the attractions of the Black Hills. This hotel is another family favorite. This cheerful and clean host with the most offers a delicious on-site restaurant, indoor heated pool, hot tub, and cable television with HBO. Kids, who stay for free, will enjoy a great game of hide and seek in the neighboring picturesque woods as well as walking along the historic boardwalk of Keystone.

Miner's Resort

Also located in Keystone, with a view of the presidents' famous faces, is the Miner's Resort. Reminiscent of the Old West gold mining towns, the whole family will get a huge kick out of the family-style restaurant, heated outdoor pool and Jacuzzi. This lovely rustic inn is a hop, skip and jump from Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Crazy Horse Memorial and Custer State Park are an easy drive.

Best Western Town N' Country Inn

A bit farther from Mount Rushmore, but closer to the sights and sounds of the city is the Best Western Town N' Country Inn in Rapid City. This three-star hotel offers majestic views of Skyline Hill, Colonial House restaurant, free morning coffee, continental breakfast and newspaper, a children's playground and a heated outdoor pool.

Comfort Inn at Hot Springs

For the business travelers who want to catch a glimpse of Mount Rushmore but still have the amenities necessary for productivity, try the Comfort Inn at Hot Springs. It's a three-star, six-time Gold Award-winning hotel loaded with a fitness center, meeting facilities, copy, fax, internet service, and in-room movies.
