About this property

Watch the 1880 Train roll by while enjoying a morning cup of coffee!!

LOWER LEVEL OF HOME ONLY, NO SHARED SPACE. IDEAL LOCATION in the heart of the Southern Black Hills, 2 miles west of Keystone on the Old Hill City road, a famous motorcycling route. Experience the 1880 train that runs directly by the property. Enjoy the sites, specialty shops, great variety in food and entertainment with Mt Rushmore 5 minutes away, Crazy Horse within 20 minutes and if you enjoy gambling Deadwood is approximately 45 minutes travel time. For the nature lover, several hiking trails within walking distance. Owners live in the upper level of the home.

We can accommodate up to four people comfortably. We prefer children to be at least 8 years of age and older please!! There is a gas log stove in the living room area and wouldn't wish a younger child to touch it and get burnt!!

The property is nestled on a wooded lot, spacious open floor plan lower accommodations with separate entrance. Fully equipped kitchen, rec room houses arcade console, pool table, foosball table and a hockey table. Living room has satellite television and wi-fi included. Queen size bed in bedroom and 2 queen sofa sleepers in living room that house children well.

Outdoor space includes propane grill, table and chairs with additional seating available. Also a fire table to roast marshmallows, cook hot dogs or to enjoy some heat on our cool summer evenings!!! Child proof skewers are provided!

Our cleaning standards are above normal with Covid 19 on the rise. I use an additive that kills 99.99% of germs for all the laundry loads between stays. I also wash all bedding that includes sheets, blankets, comforter, mattress pads and even the zippered pillow protectors!! Also all towels, shower curtains and bath rug are laundered between guests. We use antibacterial wipes on all door knobs, pool sticks, pool balls, air hockey, foos ball table handles and arcade handles!!

Great place to stay for your South Dakota getaway

This was a nice place to stay with our family. The check-in process was great, and we were given a tour to help us make the most of our time there. It was centrally located—many scenic areas, state parks, and tourist activities were within 15 minutes. The kids (and dad) loved the game room as we unwinded after a long day exploring. It was an A+ experience!

Great stay in the Black Hills!

Our family had a wonderful trip to the Black Hills/Mt Rushmore!!! A big part of what made it great was staying here!!! It was a home away from home for our stay. Close to everything and the game room, puzzle, fire pit, etc were awesome!! Owners thought of it all! Can't say enough about how great this home was. Stay here for your trip to South Dakota!!!

Cozy home in the woods!

The rental was tucked away just a mile and half from the center of Keystone. Rick and Linda were amazing host and thought of all the little things. They helped with ideas for local eateries. They even helped with directions with the road closures. Would definitely recommend to others. When we come again we plan to stay with Rick and Linda!

Vrbo brand

If our vrbo stay is the brand then y’all have knocked it out of the park. This was the best rental we have ever stayed in during a vacation. Cleanliness was off the charts, location could not have been better, check in smooth and if you are ever near the black hills Rick and Linda are the two to contact. Great vrbo!!

Charming Accommodations and Neighborhood

Our family of three stayed in Linda and Rick's charming rental. They were so kind and welcoming when we arrived, and the house was exactly as advertised! My 6-year-old son was tired from the long car drive and was so excited to play in the game room. The neighborhood was in the perfect location for all of our planned activities (centrally located). We loved watching the train roll by, which is only during daytime hours. We waved to the passengers as they went by, which my son loved. The view is spectacular from the patio. The house is fully stocked with whatever you could possibly need. I wish we had a little more down time at the house so we could do the puzzle and enjoy the surroundings even more. It was the perfect getaway, and we will definitely book again if we return!

Great stay in the Black Hills

Our family loved staying at this wonderful property. The kids loved using the pool table, air hockey and games, making s’mores on the outdoor fire pit, and watching the 1880 train roll by. The hosts were very responsive and thoughtful in all the amenities provided and such a well stocked kitchen. We couldn’t ask for a better and more comfortable stay!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Renteria

Host profile image
Rick and Linda have been married for 42 years and moved to the wonderful Black Hills 8 years ago. We love to entertain, go to church, motorcycle ride and enjoy watching movies. We love getting to know new people and look forward to meeting you!

Why they chose this property

This beautiful property is ideally located in the heart of the Black Hills, easy, short travel times to your destinations to include the Badlands, Mt Rushmore, the Needles Highway, Custer State Park, the 1880 train, Crazy Horse, Sheridan and Pactola Lakes, Deadwood, Sturgis and Spearfish Canyon to name just a few wonderful area sites!

What makes this property unique

We are situated right along the 1880 train route. In the mornings we awaken to the lovely smell of pine trees and in the cool evenings we are surrounded by the smell of campfires. We see deer and turkey regularly on our propery! It's truly just this side of heaven!
