This property was perfect for our family of 6 adults to stay and have extended family over for hanging out and meals. It was so clean and organized and Victoria thought of so many amenities for the guests. From toothbrushes to disposable cutlery/plates/etc to scotch tape and pens, we had everything we needed and more! This property is highly recommended by us!

The Wilder Bunkhouse exceeded our expectations! It was immaculate, fresh, had plenty of comfortable beds, a huge master bathroom, and was exactly as described! The hosts have thought of everything! The kitchen was stocked, the bathrooms had toiletries, there were plenty of family games, a very comfortable couch, and the entire unit was spotless. The place was perfectly located in downtown DeSmet and was a perfect location for our family on a Laura Ingalls Wilder adventure!
