Under Canvas Mount Rushmore.

Set on the site of an old gold mining settlement, Under Canvas Mount Rushmore trades traditional hotel corridors for luxury safari-style tents tucked among ponderosa pines. The property sits less than four miles from its namesake monument, offering a direct view of the granite faces from the grounds. Each platform tent is furnished with West Elm pieces, king-size beds, and wood-burning stoves for cool Black Hills nights. Most include en-suite bathrooms with organic products, prioritizing comfort without sacrificing the outdoorsy intent. Dining happens at the on-site restaurant, Embers, while evenings center on communal fire pits and nightly s’mores. With no Wi-Fi on the premises, the focus remains on local adventure—from buffalo safaris to hiking—and a genuine disconnect.
