We have stayed in many VRBO homes over the years and this was my favorite! It felt like home! The house was clean, well cared for, close to national and state parks and other areas of interest! Our host was very accommodating and we truly enjoyed his company! If we are ever in the area again we will definitely stay here!

It was a last minute trip. Bob contacted me a few days before we left to welcome us to his home. The house was just like the pictures. We were within 15 miles of most of the well known places to visit. Very quiet and peaceful area with beautiful sunrise Bob is a great host, gentleman and a true cowboy. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Our family stayed here on vacation as a central hub for: Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, The Badlands, Spearfish Canyon, and Wind Cave. We would definitely stay here again. Bob made everything go smoothly with our check in and check out. This was definitely one of our best VRBO experiences.

Bob and family were amazing hosts! Even though we arrived a day late due to travel issues and had to leave early due to a family emergency back home, we truly had an amazing time enjoying this property. The house was spotless and the views were spectacular. Make sure you catch a sunrise and go stargazing at night. This property is in a great location for sightseeing, we were only a little drive from seeing Buffalo or the Badlands. Pop's grocery store for ice cream and Lintz Brothers Pizza are near by and great stops to make. We will definitely be back!

We loved our spot in Hermosa for our South Dakota Trip! House was very clean, spacious and well equipped. It is a great location to use as a home base to enjoy all that the Black Hills has to offer. We would return to this house anytime! Bob is a thoughtful and gracious host!

This was our second stay at Bob's place and we loved it just as much as the first time! Our first stay was three years ago and we were eager to return. It is the perfect location for visiting all the popular spots in Custer State Park and the Black Hills. Just far enough from the busyness of Keystone and Rapid City. We stayed with three kids age 4-11, and four adults (two couples) and it was the perfect size for us. The patio overlooking the hillside is the perfect place to enjoy a sunset. It is comfortable and feels like home. I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. And Bob is the absolute best host!!

Bob was a great host. He was there to greet us and show us around. The house was spotless. It had everything we needed for our 8 night stay. Bob checked in with us after a few days to see if we needed anything else. He even called on Mother's day to wish the ladies a happy mother's day. If we are ever in the area again, I would be sure to stay there.

The house was beautiful, perfect view from porch of the amazing landscape. It was very clean and comfortable. About 1-1.5 hours from badlands depending on which entrance you use, and about 20 minutes from mt.rushmore. Was a great base for our traveling. The town also had a great restaurant around the corner. The owner, Bob, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and a great resource to help direct you in any advice on what to do for the day. We greatly enjoyed our stay and if we ever get back to South Dakota we would love to stay there again.
