We loved this house! The cleanliness, the kitchen, the view, the firepit area, the comfy beds, the location, the communication--all were excellent! This is one of those VRBO's where you really enjoy coming back "home" at the end of an adventure. The garage was open, and we used the space to store our gear. One caveat--the downstairs is much cooler than the upstairs, and the stairs to the basement are steep (which is mentioned in the description). A small negative in a very large ocean of positives. We would absolutely rebook The Brown House if we returned to South Dakota!
