What a beautiful home!!! We loved our view of “the boys” How many places can you stay with a view of Mt Rushmore??? We spent a lot of time on the deck. The bedrooms were great! We took advantage f the air conditioning, and by the end of our stay, the heat. There isn’t one thing you could add that would make this house more perfect!!!!

Beautiful house on a beautiful property in a beautiful area. My wife and I stayed here for a little over a week and had a great time. Conveniently located to Custer State Park and the monuments. We really enjoyed getting up early and spending the pre-dawn hours watching the sky and spending late afternoons on the back deck. If you're quiet, you can watch deer foraging close by in the early mornings/evenings.The house has a great view of Rushmore and it is nice to watch the monument change with the light/weather. Seemed like it was different every single day.The bathrooms are clean and well-furnished.My wife says she is looking forward to coming back to this property- she doesn't say that often.

There were six couples on this trip. (all older - 50's and above) We had a great time. Kitchen was well appointed. Extra small refrigerator in the tower was great. Plenty of places to sit and relax. Lovely porch. For those considering a stay at the property you should know the following: There are two bedrooms in the main house with ensuite bathrooms. There is a half bath in the hall. The tower has a bedroom with ensuite bathroom which is on the bottom floor along with a nice sitting area, kitchen area and another bath. The second floor of the tower has the four other bedrooms. One has a twin bed. The three others have trundle beds (single bed with a single bed that pulls out from the foot board.) You have to go up a spiral staircase to the second floor of the tower. The third floor of the tower has a beautiful walkaround view. We would definitely stay again. We could have used more towels as there was one per guest.

A once in a lifetime experience!

We have traveled all over the world, and this is one of the most amazing properties we have ever stayed at. It's a truly extraordinary house. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. The views of Mount Rushmore are so beautiful, and the house is so tranquil, well appointed, and serene. Pictures don't really do it justice. I so hope we can return and add a few extra days just to enjoy the quiet.

Wow, Dawn. We are really proud to be one of your favorite places. When we bought the house we fell in love with it right away. While summer is terrific, you should see it in fall and winter. A wonderland! We offer discounts to returning guests - let us know and we'll have the house ready for you!

Could've stayed here forever

Our family tremendously enjoyed this property. It was exactly as pictured and described. Our three preteen boys loved the bunkhouse tower. The main house was a perfect spot to hang out between excursions to explore the property and the nearby Iron Creek Trail and Lake Lakota. Our 10 year old reports that the view of Mt. Rushmore from the kitchen is "breathtaking." We were glad we brought all the food we needed for our stay, as the location is very remote.

Absolutely Perfect

I loved everything about this home. My favorite part was waking up to see our 4 best friends on Mt. Rushmore every morning while enjoying a cup of coffee and getting to see them illuminated at night before going to bed. Our kids loved running and playing around the property and there is plenty of space for everyone inside as well. The kids really enjoyed getting to stay in the "tower" while the adults enjoyed the double master bedrooms and spacious kitchen. It is also located close to all the fun activities the Black Hills have to offer, we will definitely be staying here again.

Mount Rushmore view house

House is beautiful! Obviously, the owner /builder took great pride in design and furnishing. Location is ideal. Perfect accommodations for a couple. Bedrooms for anyone else is in a separate structure. Some negatives: washing machine and dryer didn’t work hot water was dark and funky loud creaks in ceiling all times of day and night dead mouse in master closet, in trap for what appears to be weeks.

Robert, Thank you for providing the review and the complimentary comments. Our silly washer and dryer are from Sweden and getting parts has been a terrible journey. We're removing the appliances and installing full size new this fall. Next year we'll be much better for it. And thanks for the notes on the mouse trap. We are in the woods and these little creatures are very sneaky. We've added a full trap check list for the cleaners to ensure we don't have old traps in play. The roof of the house is metal and the heat and cool cause it to make sounds when it expands and contracts. First time I stayed there it was a little shocking. After a few hours we got used to it. We'll add that to the notes for guests in the future so they understand the noise. Happy Fall!

Black Hills ‘24

House was amazing. Architecture is really cool. Just a couple suggestions. 1) might be on us but look out tower houses most of the bedrooms. We had littles which meant they were in a separate building. Would have liked to have known. 2) they are tight w their towel game. Only two towels per bathroom which for an extended stay was annoying. Otherwise it was a spectacular home w better views

Thanks Matthew for the great review. We will look into adding more towels - I agree! As for the bedrooms, I thought the description of the property was explanatory about the tower. I'll update it to be more clear on the tower bedrooms are walkway and not connected to the main house. Thanks so much for the feedback!

Amazing Property

This is an incredible property. Everything about it is beautiful, the view, the neighborhood, the home, and the furniture. Equidistant to all of the attractions nearby. The one issue those looking to stay need to be aware- it was not clear to us from the listing that there is only one bedroom in the main home, we missed it in the narrative. All of the other bedrooms are in the bunkhouse (tower) which is right next to but separate and detached from the home. It wasn't a big deal for us but could be an issue for those traveling with younger children. This might be the nicest home to rent in the entire Black Hills area. Owner was very responsive to any questions. We would 100% absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful & Serene!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The home is set in the woods and is private and peaceful. You don’t see any other homes but the view of Mount Rushmore from the kitchen/deck is spectacular! The 2 master suites worked out well for the 4 of us but the new/additional master was a little too warm at night without shades on any of the windows. The beds were very comfy. The deck is large and a great place to have coffee in the morning and is also perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking/exploring. The kitchen is well stocked for dinner at home. Going to dinner at either Keystone or Custer is a short drive but plugging restaurant directions in at the house is necessary before you leave and lose a signal in the hills. Communication with the host was excellent.

Property Not as Described.

The high excitement my wife, newborn and parents in law had leading up to the trip regarding the wonderful, beautiful location & property quickly faded once we realized Tina R. (owner) and Tina K. (manager) had grossly misrepresented the property. Upon arrival in April 2023, 1/3 of the compound was under construction and off-limits to us (told merely 24 hours before stay). Moreover, the laundry was non-functional with "out of order" signs upon arrival (not told before arrival; literally the first thing we saw as we talked in). Solution proposed by Tina K. was "there are laundromats 40 minutes away". Walking in mud/dirt/grass between the compounds at night was dangerous and filthy. Suffice to say, this was an absolute terrible experience at a high cost and I would never return to a property under similar management/ownership. Despite the beautiful location/views, I strongly recommend avoiding at all costs.

Great house but a few problems

This is a beautiful house in a great location. I would like to give it 5 stars, but a few problems prevent this. Poor communication from host. We were notified about lack of laundry facilities and construction in process less than a month before our trip (too late to make changes). I received the house rules (no TV, bring DVD’s, no shoes in the house, bring slippers) when I was at the airport heading west. We received no communication that we would have to walk through the construction to get to 5 of the 6 bedrooms, that the screened porch had been removed (there were hornets), nor about the non-functioning ice maker. Any group with mobility issues: Be aware that 5 of the 6 bedrooms are accessed through construction and 4 of the 5 bedrooms in the “bunkhouse” are on the second floor and are accessed by a spiral staircase. We were not able to bring our suitcases up to these bedrooms. Both bathrooms in the bunkhouse are on the first floor. Again, this is a beautiful house in a good location, and we had a nice time.

We were here for a family reunion. The location is very remote and beautiful. Was a great chance to unplug and unwind. Spectacular views and the home was lovely. We had one issue with our AC in the tower rooms but the host sent someone out to fix it right away. We would definitely stay again and recommend this home.

Beautiful home in the woods. Very quiet and serene, very isolated. Lovely great room, large deck outside with a view of Mt Rushmore. We had an issue with the refrigerator but the host replied promptly and has tried to get this resolved. The scenery is just fantastic . We appreciated the fact that all our needs were anticipated as the nearest store was 20 minutes drive away. It works for a family get together

The house is in a beautiful setting, is spacious and perfect for a family reunion/vacation. The children loved the “tower” while the adults loved the gathering space in the great room with views of Mount Rushmore in the distance. The hosts were responsive and helpful.
