Awesome place to relax and take in the environment

The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Plenty of room to stretch out and relax. The view was wonderful. Saw plenty of wildlife both to/from the apartment and in the yard early mornings. The hosts were very sweet and helpful. I strongly recommend this place to anyone traveling to the Black Hills!

Worked great for what we needed

This worked well for our short stay and was well equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed having the grill and propane fire right outside the door with plenty of chairs. Location was important and this was ideal. Not a drive I would enjoy on a motorcycle but if you are in a car, this is a very nice setting and affordable. The property description is accurate.

Quiet and cozy

Cozy lower level apartment. My kids and I loved our stay. We liked the remoteness of the property-beautiful drive through the hills

Liked: Location

Great location, but disappointing accommodations

The good: the location was great! Close to Mt Rushmore and only about 25 minutes from Rapid City and the airport. This apartment is definitely a good ‘home base’. The towels were awesome! The bad: the communication with the owners was not great. I guess there were some health issues, but I would have expected to be given a different number to communicate with if there were issues. A hot tub is listed as an amenity, but it was dirty and totally unacceptable (yes, I did reach out to the homeowner first before posting this). The temperature is controlled by the owners who live upstairs in the house. The apartment is a converted walk out basement. The only door was a slider that had ripped screens, so if you wanted to get fresh air in the apartment, you also got flies. Overall, we didn’t feel comfortable and didn’t really use any of the other outdoor amenities, just from the lack of communication/friendliness of the owners.

Secluded and quiet

This home was located near many of the attractions we wanted to see (generally within 15 min. of most) while staying in the Black Hills, yet was quiet and secluded for a peaceful end to our busy days. My girls enjoyed the hot tub and Corgis very much! The home was clean and had most amenities we needed, minus an oven and coffee (but there was a coffeemaker). Overall, it was a comfortable stay and we would recommend to others.
