Great location and very nice house
Great stay near Rapid City. A few small issues like not having many cups, dirty shower curtain, burned out lights, but they didn't quite take away from the stay, we just just made sure to let the homeowners know for next time, so hopefully they get them fixed.

Good if you don't need all of the beds
The property was clean, but one bed was very uncomfortable and the futon was broken.

High Hopes
Disappointed with the property. Many stains on couches, chairs, shower curtains; damages in couple of the doors, smoke detector in hallway not hooked up, toilets extremely hard to flush, lights not working, TV not working; beds are not comfortable, weeds outside, no lock on the master bath; many pictures of all these items and more. We left after 2 days and didn’t come back. We did communicate with the owners about the issues on the third day after finding another place to stay. The owners will not refund any money. Their claim was that I told them about this on the third day instead of the first day. Fact is we got in late after long day and the next day we were gone until very late. We felt disgusted and not comfortable. The most important part, is it should never been left like this in the first place! No excuse why the property was like this and being that their management team is in the same city, why didn’t they have all these items fixed?

Fit all of our needs
The location is great! Nice, quiet neighborhood, within easy driving distance of all the sights. My 84 year old dad was traveling with us. He has some mobility issues and food intolerances. The big kitchen allowed us to easily prepare our meals and the first floor bathroom was perfect when quick trips were needed. The property managers made the entire process so easy. They were even aware of an issue with the air conditioning before we were and had it fixed at no inconvenience to us. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Great for families or couples
Great location for a Black Hills vacation. Plenty of room and all the furniture was comfortable. Neighborhood was quiet and seemed quite safe.
When we arrived the dishes in the dishwasher were still dirty and there was no dishwasher detergent. The rug was dirty and vacuum didn't work well. Also some dusty furniture. Description says plenty of towels - we had 5 for 4 people. There was also no toiletries as listed and no hair dryer. The kitchen had the bare minimum - only a few drinking glasses (but plenty for wine!)
All in all we had a great stay and would recommend. But would pack a hair dryer and wash cloths. Space, comfort and location outweigh missing amenities.

Great House
This is a nice sized house and very very clean. I really appreciated the communication with the host as they were very helpful and quick to respond. I always appreciate a nice place to stay when I’m away from home and this was a very safe place to do that. The things that could be improved as I have expressed to the host was the welcome basket could of been more thoughtful, more blankets available, and a book that has the WiFi and other info about things to do. And I say a book because some of our guests weren’t tech savvy.
Lastly, make sure your refundable deposit gets refunded to you. Mine didn’t after 2 months so I have had to ask for it and that is why I only gave a 4 star. !
Thank you

Great family stay
This house was clean and spacious for our group of 6. We were very comfortable and able to relax in the evenings watching a movie. The 3 bedrooms were nicely done, closet space and room to unpack.
We were in a great location for Mt Rushmore, Jewel Cave, Reptile Gardens, Keystone, Sturgis/Deadwood, and much more!
Look forward to staying here again if we pass through.

Great stay!
The property was just as advertised. It was centrally located to all of the sites we wanted to visit. Lots of restaurant options nearby as well as shopping. It was easy to find too. Enjoyed our time there & highly recommend it.
