Black Hills Adventure
This property was a perfect home base for our South Dakota expedition to Deadwood, Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore and Badlands National Park and all points in or around Rapid City. Nothing was more than an hour away.Our grandchildren loved the bunk beds and we felt very safe and comfortable in the neighborhood. If we ever return to the Black Hills area, I will certainly visit again.

Great place
Our party of 8 loved staying here. Nice and peaceful but not far from the attractions of the Black Hills. Very nice house, we didn't feel crowded and everyone had a great time!
