We Absolutely loved it
This was our first time staying at a rental property and am I glad we did. Lana was very intuitive with her communication and readiness to provide support as needed.
The house was so charming. Some of our hotels weve stayed in almost like a fancy place where you dont want to mess things up. We didn't mess things up but felt like we were home.
There were puzzles and blocks and we were able to watch movies on the streaming services.
My daughter and I enjoyed the hottub it was clean, easy to use and Lana left clear details on howto keep things that way. We especially loved being centrally located to all the things we wanted to do.
We took our 2 dogs and toys and bowls were provided. I cant think of anything that we needed that the host did not ensure was available.
We go to SD every Thanksgiving and We would absolutely consider renting again.and

Perfect Long Weekend
We stayed during the first few days of a 2-week trip west and it was a great start to our vacation. The house has so much character and has been modernly updated with any and all conveniences a person could want or need. The beds are extremely comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and the living space so comfortable as well. Backyard space and hot tub was perfect. Our dog, who was a good sport having to be in the car so long loved running in the fenced yard. Our host was great to work with though we didn’t need to contact her once we arrived as there was nothing we didn’t have. Great instructions and local tips provided too. Loved our time there!

The Place to Stay!
The host and the house were wonderful! It was very clean, spacious and in a great location. Easy walking distance to downtown. The backyard was a perfect size for our dogs.
The kitchen is well stocked from spices, foil and parchment paper, to ziplock bags and sealable containers. Dishwashing pods are provided, along with soaps, shampoo and conditioner, blow dryer and a curling iron in the bathroom. Don’t forget to check out the board games in the living room. These little things made our stay just that much more enjoyable.
We would highly recommend staying here!

Every Detail Covered!
I've stayed at several VRBO properties and I've never experienced such clear and concise communication with the property owner/manager - and I've never experienced every little detail/item that could be thought of that a guest would need - stocked and ready for us to use if so desired. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The location was excellent and the house worked perfectly for our family. Thank you for being an A+ property owner/manager!

Graduation
My cousin and I came down for graduation and came in late at night. The house was easy to find and was perfect in every way. The beds are beyond comfortable and the house is clean and very well stocked. The fully fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs to run and play and the hot tub was perfect. We have added this house to our favorites list.

Having never used Vrbo before I was not sure what to expect. This superseded all of my expectations. Everything was perfect. Easy instructions, no cleaning required, and the host was so kind! This home is well cared for and the hot tub was phenomenal. I would stay here over and over. I would rate this experience an 11 out of 10.

Location, Amenities, and Charm
We had a great time in Rapid City, and staying at this beautiful house was part of that. It is centrally located, easy access to downtown and all the attractions/activities in the area. The back yard was awesome for our dog to run around, and us to enjoy with a large bench for seating and the umbrella to cover us from a passing rain shower. The house is well maintained, and has the charm of an old farmhouse but with updated amenities. I would definitely stay here again.
