A Homey Home Base

Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Carriage House! It is beautiful inside and was a great home base to come back to each day after our day trips around the Black Hills area. Having two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, an available gas grill, and proximity to Custer State Park were all pluses! If we ever travel to the area in the future, we would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Vacation

This property is in a wonderful location and the scenery is amazing. Mr Richard was a wonderful host and the Carriage House was a perfect retreat for our 8 day vacation. After a long day of riding our bikes in the Black Hills, it was home away from home. Thank you Mr Richard! I really enjoyed talking with you and I hope to see you again in the near future!

10/10 adorable and comfy

We absolutely loved our visit here! This cute cottage is charming and beautiful from inside and out. The host was great with answering any questions and accommodating with late check-ins. The location is great with it being a short drive from Rapid City and many tourist attractions my partner and I wanted to visit. But it is also far enough out you will be able to see deer and other local wildlife. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee out on the porch and watching all the birds in the trees. 10/10 experience staying here and we would absolutely be staying here again if we come back in the area!

Amazing space

We loved our time in this beautiful little house. It is so comfortable and decorated so well. We felt right at home immediately.The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the bathrooms and bedrooms are modern and have lots of towels, blankets and anything else we needed. This is literally the perfect spot to land after a long day visiting the nearby sites such as Mount Rushmore, Deadwoid, and Coster State Park. Location is great, and the home is even better!
