The place was perfect for a little golf getaway to the Hills. It was clean, spacious, and the hot tub was a great addition. The location was good - a nice nice, quiet neighborhood not far from anything you’d need. Communication with the host was very good and everything was just as advertised. Would definitely recommend this property!

Mount Rushmore is just 25 minutes away, and the Black Hills National Forest is practically in the backyard. It's the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility.
