Perfect getaway at a convenient location for all our sightseeing

It was a comfortable home for a place to relax after our day-long sightseeing, make a family meal, hike, and use the hot tub. It was a perfect home for us with plenty of personal spaces to get away from each other if we needed it. I would definitely stay here again!

Keystone House

Three generations of our family enjoyed this Keystone House. Lots of room to roam on the property and in the house. You can show up with your suitcase and some groceries and you’re all set. The house has everything you need beyond that. That was very much appreciated! I did expect this 10 star house to be slightly cleaner than it was. I wiped a few things down and we carried on with our vacation. Great memories were made by all.

Making family memories

We booked this trip to take my parents to see the beautiful South Dakota. My dad has suffered a couple strokes and we wanted to take him on this trip while he is still able. It was an amazing trip and memories that we all will cherish. This house is located near keystone where we enjoyed dinner and live music one evening as well as easy access to Custer state park and Mount Rushmore. We enjoyed the fire pit and star grazing. We did the hike to see Mt Rushmore several times. This home has everything you need and plenty of room for everyone. Megan is a great host and quickly responded to all of my questions.

Vacation stay

We spent a week at this house on a family vacation. The driveway is extremely steep. It was advertised as air conditioning but there was only 1 small window air in the loft. We ended up not using the loft as the stairs to the loft are very narrow. The basement did stay cooled off most of the time. The upstairs was 85 degrees majority of our stay. Overall, the house was nice but could use some good cleaning. There was a lot of dust and spiderwebs all over. I also suggest not planning on using the washing machine. We attempted to use it a few times as we had young children. The washer wouldn’t start most of the time and when it did, left our clothes dirtier than before.

Wonderful house in the forest!

We had a great week in the Keystone house! 3 couples and 4 kids. The house is big and roomy, well stocked, a beautiful setting. Keystone is near all the great attractions, Mt Rushmore, Custer Natl Park, Caves, lakes, hikes, trail riding etc. We enjoyed the house as much as all the sights. Hiking and exploring, big fire pit outside for evening s’mores, hot tub. You can’t go wrong renting this wonderful property!

Surprise Birthday Trip

This was a great location for our Dad’s surprise 85th birthday. The cabin had plenty of room for all 11 of us. We ventured to the prayer rock on the property and took in the beautiful view of Mount Rushmore. Loved seeing the wildlife that wondered through the yard. Megan was awesome and understanding when a snow storm rolled in and we had to stay a bit longer after checkout due to our route back to Idaho was closed. Definitely a wonderful place to stay.

Epic Stay in the Black Hills

I’ve stayed in a lot of amazing VRBO properties and this experience was hands down the best. The communication with Megan, the owner, was so easy. She set us up with things to do, important details about finding the home, and recommendations to make our stay in the Black Hills incredible. She and her beautiful home did not disappoint. Upon waking into the home, the attention to details for the out of state traveler unfamiliar with the area was greatly appreciated. Brochures, books, websites and recommendations were tastefully shared throughout the home. We had everything at our fingertips to properly discover Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse, Keystone, Badlands and Cosmos Mystery Area (all highly recommended for our short stay). The home is very clean, the beds extremely comfortable, and way more space than we could adequately use. We loved the hike up the hill from the property to Prayer Rock where we could look out over Mt Rushmore (bring binoculars). The kids (and adults) had fun searching for the gnome hidden on the property. And the home and property being very dog friendly was a HUGE bonus. I truly cannot say enough good things about Megan and her beautiful property. On a scale of 1-10, this was an 11! Thank you Megan!!!

Bucket List Trip

My friends, family and I had a special gathering coming from Minnesota and Missouri. The house and property were gorgeous. It was a warm and inviting home with beautiful views. The property was amazing with grey hiking and climbing. The parallel views of Mount Rushmore were fantastic! I grew up in SD and visited the hills a lot as a kid. I love the Black Hills, but staying at this special place made the trip a “trip of a lifetime”.

South Dakota Adventure

Our family of 4 found the home and the property to be all we expected and much more! It was the perfect spot to explore the Black Hills and even the Badlands. We were close enough to Mount Rushmore to see the night lighting ceremony, which was amazing! We hope to return someday and do it all again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Megan Meyer

Host profile image
Our family of 5 fell in love with this area in 2020 when my husband opened a business in Rapid City. Over the past year we dreamed about having a place here of our own, and after lots of prayer, God provided this wonderful home! We want to turn around and bless other families and friend groups coming to the area with a place that they can not only relax but feel taken care of. We provide lots of extras to make this place not just a stay but an experience where you will take away treasured memories! We have luxury sheets and Pendleton blankets, games, TVs (though you won't need them because there is so much to do!), great space for kids to stretch out and play, maps and detailed excursions to help you plan your days and some other fun surprises to discover as you take in the majesty of the 3+ acres!

Why they chose this property

This property has it all. The moment you step out of your car, you can hear the wind whistle through the trees and it immediately calms your soul! There is ample parking, great hiking from the property where you can choose a few minutes hike up the mountainside, or cross over into forestry land and go as long as you'd like! There is a special spot named Prayer Rock that is a quick 10 min hike from your back door that is not just a great look out, but lends to views of Mount Rushmore! If you are extra adventurous, try a night hike when Mount Rushmore is lit!
You have plenty rooms to spread out, a large fire pit to make smores or cozy up around, and great outdoor spaces to enjoy your morning coffee and spy on the deer that pass through frequently! There is also a large Morton Building for your use, whether you have bikes to store, or need more space for big meals! We have several tables and chairs- even for the younger kids!
This place is close to it all! And the drives to get here will take your breath away. Feel free to message us for all the details! We love helping people get the most out of their vacations here!

What makes this property unique

Never been to the area and don't know what to see first? We can help you plan! We have printed maps and directions for excursions that you can use! We provide plans for part day, half day and whole day adventures so you don't have to spend your time trying to figure out where to go! Each excursion has great places to stop and eat as well!
Nearby attractions:
Mount Rushmore
Crazy Horse Monument
Custer State Park
Needles highway

Sylvan Lake
Wildlife Loop
Keystone, Hill City, Hermosa, Custer, Rapid City and Hot Springs

We also have lots of unique things for kids to do on the property! Whether they enjoy looking at all the unique rocks, watching the chipmunks run around, seeing if they can spy the deer who frequent the property, climbing on large boulders, trying to find our special "gnome" friend, or playing games, puzzles or reading- they will have plenty to do!
