Very close to everything in town and at the same time you get the feel of staying in a beautiful home in the woods. The remodeled kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. Also plenty of room and seats in the living room for visiting. There is a variety of indoor and outdoor games. The large deck includes a grill for outdoor cooking. This gets 5 plus stars and will definitely make your stay in Rapid a memorable one.
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.
This was the perfect location for us to tour all the sights in the area. The house was very comfortable and clean. We’d absolutely stay here again if we’re ever in the area.
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!
What a view! Saw plenty of deer and other wild life. Its very peaceful! Excellent communication with the host from start to finish. Would highly recommend!
