Mount Rushmore

We stayed one night while visiting Mount Rushmore. Cabin was small but enough for what we needed. Restaurant on site was very good. We ate both dinner and breakfast there and their portion sizes were good. My only complaint would be the bed in our room was too hard making it difficult for me to sleep.
