Comfortable and Clean Home

My brother and I came up for the Buffalo Round Up at Custer State Park. The house was convenient to all of the Black Hills locations we wanted to see. It was clean and well equipped and met or surpassed all of our needs.

Badlands/Custer State Park/Mount Rushmore

Property was centrally located for all of our planned daily trips. The yard was not particularly well kept and the chairs they provided for outdoor seating were more like small tables.

Family Vacay

We enjoyed our stay! The home was comfy, clean and had all the necessities.There was plenty of room for 6 adults although we had to stagger showers since the hot water ran out quickly. The internet was slow so definitely plan on just relaxing and disconnecting while there. The location was great too. Close to restaurants and stores. Just a short drive to many other attractions in the area. The front and rear deck areas need some love and repair, but overall a nice rental. Hosts were very friendly and helped with whatever was needed.

It was a nice clean place to stay in a good location. We loved the location and all the tips for things to do in the area and we did a lot of them. The only down side was the WiFi was not very strong which made it a little hard for my husband to get some work done. It also had a smell of dog which was a little hard for my daughter and I . There was also a little bit of damp carpet in the master which I wasn’t sure if that was from a recent cleaning. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay! The hosts were ever attentive in answering questions. Nice place!

Perfect Location

This home was the perfect location! Centrally located in a wonderful little town that gives you access to anywhere you want to go in the Black Hills! This home had everything we needed for a week long stay with the family. Traveling with a toddler can be challenging however they layout of the residence was great and everyone had they own space to retreat to when needed. I appreciated the kitchen having so many items available to us to make cooking for 6 much easier! The owners were easy to get ahold of and communication with them was a breeze. We plan on being back! Thanks again!

Badlands and Black Hills

We chose this location because it was in between all the places we wanted to stay. Only 4 of us. Very spacious room for more. Home is laid out for guests. You do not feel like you are borrowing someones home but in a place designed for guests. All the usual hotel amenities like soaps, shampoos,.hair dryer etc. Kitchen had everything needed if you wanted to eat in all meals. Coffee area had both Keureg or full pot brewing with disposable cups, creamer, sugar, filters, ground coffee and mugs. Super clean. All rooms well appointed and roomy. Quiet neighborhood. Small grocery story top of street. Exactly what we needed.
