This house was perfectly located for all of our adventures. I want to stress that it is a 5 star review. The only parts that we may have changed was the amount of seating in the living room. Adding some additional seats. And an airflow option in the basement like a box fan. The house was super clean and welcoming which honestly was most important to us. I would stay here again.

One of our favorite places to stay, ever! The home is beautifully updated, immaculately clean, and has the best-equipped kitchen. We were able to cook large meals easily, and the kids had plenty of space to play. The back yard (complete with deer and rabbits) was great, and we love the deck. Host Christine always responds promptly and made our visit so easy!

Lovely spot with everything you need

This was our first time in the area, and this lovely bungalow was the perfect spot from which to get to Wind Cave National Park, Custer State Park, and the Black Hill National Forest. It’s nice and clean. They provide everything you need for comfort and cooking. The owners are super responsive! (Only reason we marked a star off the location is because the surrounding streets are under construction, making access challenging - it’s in walking distance to the center of town.)

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and had everything we needed. Enjoyed sitting on the back patio and taking in the cool air. Conveniently located, although the street construction made it a bit hard to get to. Once we figured it out, we were fine.

Perfect place!

The property was perfect for us! The two levels gave us room to spread out and we all felt comfy in our own space. The house was spotless and smelled SO clean when we arrived. They had homemade blueberry scones and a note for us when we got there, which was a nice touch! We all really liked the decor too, as it made it feel like a home. The check in and out processes were very easy, and the hosts were great to work with! We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to any friends we have headed that way for vacation!

An awesome stay!

I booked this for my wife and 2 daughters to bring our daughter-in-law to Hot Springs to celebrate her 40th with a getaway, and some soaking and yoga at Moccasin Springs. They were greeted with a nice birthday cake waiting for them. My wife said this was one of the most welcoming places she's experienced with VRBO. It was very clean, had a nice deck and there were extra touches included that made their weekend a special celebration for all the girls. Now, I'm looking for an excuse to get away with my wife for some relaxation. A special thank you to the hosts for going the extra mile to ensure a great stay. I highly recommend this home. You won't be disappointed.

Great base camp

Clean, updated home on a quiet street. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed coffee every morning and used the grill one evening. It was a great place to come back to rest and get ready for the next day. The house is located very close to wind cave national park and Evans Hot Springs. One of our favorite spots was Cascade Falls. My husband and I found the couch uncomfortable, it was too deep for us. So we took pillows from the bed when unwinding in front of the tv at night. My son actually slept on it and he had no complaints.

Hidden Gem

What a surprise to find this place! I’d only planned on 3 nights and ended up staying 5. Very peaceful and quiet, kind and friendly neighbors. One reviewer mentioned spiders so I bought some spider traps…nothing. The place was spider free 👍 The home had everything I needed and more, I especially enjoyed watching the deer every morning and evening from the bedroom window. I’ll definitely stay again!
