I would stay here again and again. This rental is so nicely done and has everything you’d ever need. Property is immaculate and so nicely done. The country setting/view is amazing. My husband and and I and my son and his girlfriend and pup drove from MN and unit 1 attached had MN people we visited with as well. The 4 of us instantly felt right at home. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful view. Plenty of space. Close to everything we were doing. But far enough out of town that it was peaceful and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

Breath of fresh air!

What an amazing place to stay. We rolled in about 11:45pm and Laurie had the door unlocked for us and the lights on so it was very easy to find from the road and didn’t have to try to figure out the lockbox that late. There was a rollaway bed all ready as well. Everyone had their own space which is always nice when traveling with teenagers! The place is SPOTLESS and had everything we needed. Great location just outside of town. Would definitely recommend this place to friends and you! Laurie was extremely responsive and helpful. Just book it!

We had a really great stay here. You cannot beat the views from the porch that overlook the hills. We stayed here on a family trip (two sisters, our mom, and our spouses). Worked well as a home base to explore the wondrous Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore, and all the scenic byways in the area. Highly recommend!

Great stay

The property was perfect for us with plenty of space (we had 3,but easily fits 6). We found it comfortable and relatively close to all the places we wanted to see - the monuments, Custer State Park. The owners were responsive and we appreciated the detailed instructions. I found the bed very comfortable too. It was well stocked.
