We have family who live a couple miles away that we spent most our time with, but we enjoyed having our coffee outside in the morning and coming back to our quiet retreat in the evenings. We would love to come back again.
We had a very nice stay at the Barn. It was clean and comfortable. Easy access to all the area around Rapid City. Jordan was quick to answer any questions.
Would definitely return.
The barn proved to be exactly as promised. Simplistic with all the modern necessities. It was quiet, with beautiful views of country living. We watched deer and turkeys in the yard grazing. The bed was comfortable with soft sheets and comfy pillows. We would gladly book another stay here.
Great owners and a clean cozy spot with a beautiful view. I think it’s ideal for a couple. It worked out fine for my family of 3, but I slept on the couch which was comfy enough. My body didn’t agree with the pull out. We’d stay again.
