This was an excellent VRBO rental. Very clean, newer structure, and modern appliances. The host was communicative and gave all the information I needed to use his rental.
Wonderful trip, clean and everything accurate in description. Ample and easy parking, big blacktail deer came in nightly. We did run out of propane on outside firepit which was immediately addressed:)
We had a great stay at this cozy 2-bedroom home in Keystone, South Dakota. The house was newly remodeled, clean, super cute, and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The location was perfect — just minutes from Mount Rushmore, the 1880 Train, downtown Keystone, Custer State Park, and an easy drive to Rapid City. It’s in a friendly neighborhood and was very easy to find.The host was responsive and helpful with any questions we had. No complaints at all!We’d definitely stay here again if we’re back in the area!
Nice, clean and cozy place meeting all needs for a short stay. Great that it’s in Keystone and so close to Mt Rushmore and other parks and monuments as well as restaurants.
