Clean and well kept house. Location is fantastic to see all the sights the area has to offer. Easy check-in and good communication. Kids loved the tree-fort/play set and there is a large yard for them to run around.

We loved our stay at this house! The layout of the house was so nice, and my kids loved having access to the pool and hot tub. It also was the perfect location… right in the middle of everything we wanted to do. The owner was very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure everything was clean and that we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing proprty with fantastic host. We have several small children and the house had several fun games and puzzles for the kids. It met my wifes standards for cleanliness and the location was central for all the black hills attractions. Close enough to town for instacart to deliver. If friends are headed to the black hills we will be recommending this property.

Perfect Black Hills Homebase

This home is perfect for a family Black Hills vacation! Located close to many attractions, we were able to explore the area with ease. After long days hiking and exploring, we loved coming home to swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub and unwind. The home was spacious and had an incredible master suite!

We truly enjoyed our stay here! It was the perfect location for us because we had a family event at Palmer Gulch so it wasn’t too far away from that, but it was also close to everything. We especially enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the fact that we could go for a morning walk without having to worry about traffic. The hostess was wonderful to work with and communicative.

Spacious and super clean! Great property. Comfortable beds, awesome soaking tub. Time constraints (and weather) kept us from enjoying the hot tub and pool, but they were available! Great home base for visiting Mt. Rushmore, Custer Park, Crazy Horse, Needles Highway, etc. Owner was easily accessible and directions clear. Recommend highly!!
