Everything was excellent except dealing with Evolve - who seems to be the manager, took days to get back and not very informative... I think they're located in Denver. WE WANT A MANAGER IN THE CITY OR AREA and NEAR THE LOCATION! The owner, who lived next door was great!

Absolutely wonderful! My family, ages 2-69, loved the Ranch! So much for everyone to enjoy, the slide, the swings, feeding the horses treats, and running and playing in the wide open spaces. Very well stocked with all the basics, and the owner, Mark, was very accommodating, friendly, and had lots of recommendations. Super location off the beaten path, but yet close to many attractions. We all were sad to leave.

Loved our stay at the Ranch at Keystone. We were a family of 6 adults and 5 boys ages ranging from 4 to 10 years of age. We rented both the main house and the bunkhouse, which was wonderful for our boys. The ranch is centrally located so that we were able to visit Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Hot Springs, the Badlands, Crazy Horse Memorial and even the Devil's Tower in Wyoming on relatively short day trips. Tons of activities nearby to keep young boys busy: gold mining, rocket launching in the Badlands, visiting wooly mammoth dig site in Hot Springs, Alpine slide and ropes course in Keystone, tubing on Sylvan Lake. At the ranch, they also had a ball wading across the creek, fishing, and visiting the two horses, who were always there to greet us in the morning and the evening.We have stayed at many VRBO's, and this was the best stocked of all. It's so nice not to have to buy staples such as salt/pepper and sugar. We stocked up on groceries in Rapid City on our way in, which we highly recommend. That's where we did the greater part of our shopping, although we were able to pick up smaller amounts on our local trips.Mark stopped by briefly several times during our stay and made great recommendations, including a rodeo one night which we, sadly, had to skip because it was the only time we had bad weather. I'm sure he would have been available to help had we had any need, but with the ranch in such good shape, we did not.A great and memorable family vacation!
