Great location and view

Our stay was without issue. As previously stated in other reviews the house needs some tlc and there is a loud noise that periodically turns on that can be disturbing at night. Note that there is only one shower in the house and the bedrooms are close together so it’s alright for family or close friends. The location was nice for visiting Mount Rushmore and the badlands.

Quaint Get Away

This was a beautiful spot, the creek is right next to you and the view was stunning. The main road on the other side of the property was very close to the house but the view and the creek on the other side of the house completely distracts you from the busy road. The hot tub did not work when we arrived however the property manager did compensate us for that and was very apologetic. The home was clean and tidy and even had a dog door for our Aussie. Thanks for the stay!

Idyllic setting

This setting had a beautiful view, was quiet and separate from neighbors, and between the deck, yard, basement, fire pit, and hot tub, had multiple spaces for people to interact. We also appreciated the open dining and living room spaces adjacent to the kitchen, as we were able to set up board games and play while cooking.

Beautiful setting!

We stayed for a long weekend! Getting to the property was not a problem, and the check in process with the host was very easy! The creek flowing through the back was my absolute favorite! It was so peaceful to sit out on the deck in the morning with my coffee and just take it all in. The hot tub was perfect on the cool fall evenings too! It is located right off the highway, but there never seemed to be too much noise from it. We really enjoyed our stay!

Excellent place to relax for a wedding weekend

The property is exactly as what is listed, right along Rapid Creek. I recently got married just a couple miles down the road and this property was perfect for members of my wedding party. It was clean, absolutely beautiful and a nice and relaxing place to stay. The hosts were great to work with and were very timely in response to any questions I had. Next time I am in the hills, I will be staying here. Thank you Robert and Jennifer!

Can't beat the view!

Our family loved the snow covered hills, running stream, and the adorable 'pool' house! The communication with owners was fantastic! We spent most of our time in the main living space, but could see the basement area being perfect for a large family needing extra space! Close to town, but far enough to enjoy the Black Hills. Would 100% recommend this property.

Perfect Getaway

The property was absolutely perfect for me and my family’s vacation. It’s location was perfect for seeing both Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Monument. Rapid city was a short 15 minute or so drive into town witch was a huge plus for running into town quickly and being able to maximize or peaceful stay at the property. Best thing about the property was sleeping in the loft in the smaller building by the creek and listening to the creek running though out the night. Couldn’t beet the price compared to staying at a Hotel.

Why they chose this property

This property is amazing. It is a peaceful getaway. I love this home it has Rapid Creek running through the backyard that backs up to the Black Hills National Forest with trees and mountains. There always seems to be plenty of wildlife to watch from mountain goats, and turkeys to deer, and ducks. It's definitely a great escape from reality.

What makes this property unique

The location alone is unique. It is a serene environment that makes you feel like your in a different world for the little while your there. There is a mini bar with a sleeping loft overlooking the creek. There is a 6ft soak tub in the master bath, with a door to the backyard to hear the water. We have a great walking path that goes around the backyard. We have a nice private backyard.
