Spring Creek Splendor. The Perfect Location. Private Lower Level Apartment. Fun!

10/10 Excellent
"Although the photos of the accommodations are accurate and a good representation of the property, it is even better in person! It is larger than we had anticipated. The property exceeded our expectations. The interior is clean. Both beds are very comfortable. The owner supplies all of the kitchenware needed to cook, serve and clean up after meals (including paper towels). He also supplies all the bathroom basics that you need for your stay, including bar soap, shampoo, conditioner, tp, and a more than ample supply of bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. For those who run warm at night, a fan is provided in each of the bedroom closets. There are plenty of hangers in each of the closets. The shower floor is slippery, so I highly recommend using the provided shower mat.We really loved having the fireplace since the evenings were cool while we were there. It turns on with just a touch of a button. It created a wonderfully cozy atmosphere, especially for watching movies…which there are dozens of to choose from along with books to read.The exterior of the home is well maintained and beautiful. The location of the property itself is perfect for accessing the highways leading to the popular attractions. Due of the location near a well traveled, lighted highway intersection, you WILL hear the traffic when you sit outside. That didn’t prevent us from enjoying our stay at all.Communication with the owner and property manager was excellent.I would definitely stay again!"

The Hynes Cabin – A Spacious Renovated 1925 Classic with Stunning Views

10/10 Excellent
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hynes cabin. We did not see any horses near the cabin, but it could be due to the end of the season at the campground. We did see geese, ducks and deer daily by the cabin surrounded by the wonderful view of the mountain. The cabin is so centrally located that we enjoyed several day trips out. It is located very near Mt. Rushmore so we visited the monument in the day and also at night for their illumination ceremony. It's worth the trip!"

Granite Ridge Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Truly one in a million properties. Very unique spot- located off the beaten path, literally it is located at the end of a long gravel road in a beautiful wooded area. Close proximity to Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, and Custer State park. You will be greeted by deer and wild turkeys every morning and hear the 1880 train whistle as you enjoy coffee and breakfast on the back patio. So peaceful and beautiful. Well stocked kitchen with coffee maker, pots, pans, glassware, etc. Very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms - great for our party of 7. Beds were very comfortable. We spent alot of time out and about so we didn't have time to enjoy the hot tub, but it would have been amazing to view the stars from. Only downside was that we were there during a "burn warning" and we were not able to utilize the outdoor woodburning fireplace - but it is in a beautiful spot on the patio and weather permitting would be amazing. Great spot for our girls' weekend! The host was extremely responsive which was greatly appreciated."
