Nice house, well stocked with everything needed. Beautiful property in great location.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Apr 2025
We had an amazing trip to South Dakota for our Spring Break. The location was perfect to see Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Wind Cave NP, Mammoth Site. We knew we were going at an off time so we did have to do more research to find restaurants in the area that were open but the home was perfect for making most meals in. We grocery shopped in town (10 minutes away) and were able to feed our group of 9 easily in the house. The home was exactly as pictured. It was perfect for a large group. We had a great time making memories and would recommend it to everyone wanting a vacation in the Black Hills.
