The home was cozy and very well-appointed. It was clean, comfortable and an ideal location for visiting the Black Hills.We would definitely stay here again.
Owner was friendly and responsive. Nearby restaurants within a 10 min drive. Appliances are new.
We enjoyed the back yard fire pit.
The air conditioning/heating is separate for each room and the house. Nice that I could control my room temp!
