Spacious and inviting

Located in town but feels secluded. Surrounded by a few nice homes though you can’t see them while enjoying the deck. Our kids took over the downstairs area while my spouse and I had the master upstairs. The decor was all themed around the black hills area and amount Rushmore which was a really nice touch. While we were out and about most of the trip, we did enjoy playing the national park version of Monopoly and eating take out on the deck. Great for marking memories. Would definitely stay here again.

Black Hills Vacation House

The house location was great and convenient to the Black Hills attractions. The house had plenty of room, and I enjoyed the deck and the view. I was disappointed that there were not enough towels for a 5 night stay, and some of the towels were stained. Also, the showers were small!

Beautiful Views!

We selected this property for the view of Mt. Rushmore and it was exactly as we hoped for. Quiet neighborhood with beautiful view of trees and wildlife on the property. Having a garage with garage opener to park our car was a really nice option. Especially during the times when it rained and hailed.

Perfect Rushmore Getaway!

This property was amazing! Perfect location, right down the street from main Keystone shops and so close to Mt Rushmore. The backyard is right up to a forest of trees that our 3 boys (9, 9, 11) could play in. The deck faces Mt Rushmore and we watched the lights go on and off every night. The location. Was clean and had all the appliances we needed. We would recommend this to Everyone and if we ever come back we will stay there again!

Adventures Galore!!!

This house was beautiful - views of Mt Rushmore were great! So much to do in the Keysone area - we could have stayed for another week trying to fit it all in! House is a great "home base" for all the exploring that you want to do and even for days to just relax!! My family made so many priceless memories, and with my husband having brain cancer, we realized that life is too short to wait for "some day" .. America the Beautiful is an understatement!!

Mount Rushmore view

We did enjoy our stay. Property manager responded right away when I notified him we were a bit early. The place was clean. It was very nice to drive into an enclosed garage to exit into vrbo. the location was great. wonderful porch however it was very cold while we were visiting so we did not use it much.. It snowed! The downstairs bedrooms are very cold. The downstairs bathroom could use a heater/vent/light. It only has a vent/light. Besides the cold situation, we would all stay there again. thank you for a wonderful memory

September 2023

The property is a bit rustic but very clean with a clear view of the side of Mt Rushmore. Many sitings of deer in the yard and surrounding area. Entry from both the street and garage are from the lower level and the main living area is up several stairs. That would only be an issue if stairs are a challenge for you, after all it is on the side of a mountain!

Great house and location

We loved our stay in Keystone. The house was centrally located to everything we wanted to do and 5 minutes from Mt Rushmore. You really can see Mt Rushmore form the house, which was pretty cool, especially for my (obsessed) 5 year old! The house was also very clean and they provided just about everything. They provided, or previous renters left - shower products, laundry detergent, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, plenty of extra blankets, plenty of washcloths and towels, coffee, and kitchen dishes and utensils. We grilled mostly. There was even a folding table and chairs for extra guests. Like other reviews said, 2 bedrooms are downstairs while the primary bedroom is upstairs. My kids (4 and 5) didn’t want to sleep downstairs at first but they eventually warmed up to it. The basement was pretty cold though. Beds were okay but pillows were kind of flat. Bathrooms are outdated but very clean so it didn’t bother us. Showers were small. It was very nice to be able to park in the garage. Check in and check out process were very easy. Overall, I’d highly recommend this house and if we come to South Dakota again, we will definitely be staying here again.

Mount Rushmore

This house was great. View from the deck is the real bonus. House had everything you would need for a comfortable stay and was spotless. Within walking distance to the historic district of Keystone and easy drive to Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park. We enjoyed cocktails on the deck at night looking at Mount Rushmore - it was so quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful

Three siblings and spouses from Utah, SD and MN met for Thanksgiving weekend. This rental property location was perfect! The view of Mount Rushmore added to our reflections of the many blessings we have as a family and the country we are so fortunate to live in. The property was clean, warm and inviting. The contact person was readily available to discuss a couple minor issues. Thank you for sharing your home, and hopefully we can return sometime in the near future.

The house was as advertised and conveniently located. All of the surrounding touristy area is a bit run down and very dated and this rental was much nicer than any of the hotels and other accommodations nearby.

Quiet and Enjoyable

House was well kept and had all of the amenities we needed. Beds were comfy. Wi-Fi worked great. There were lots of books and games and puzzles for entertainment but we were too busy trekking around the beautiful trails looking at wonderful scenery. Kitchen had all that we needed along with a view of Mount Rushmore from the kitchen window. This home was a good central location for all of the sites.

Fantastic Stay!

We loved this house and the location. The house was nice inside and out and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, dishes, etc., even a view of Mount Rushmore looking out window over the sink. It must have been updated and the furniture was nice and beds were comfortable. The deck was awesome and we used that everyday, looking at the view of Mount Rushmore while sitting on the deck both during the day and at night when it was lit up. We saw deer everyday by the deck. It was not right on main street, but up in the hills, which worked out great because it took just 5 minutes to get there from main street. Everything about our stay was good. When we come back to this area, we will certainly want to stay here again. We appreciated the fact that the owner shared his house with us.

Fantastic Stay in Keystone

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was an awesome location. The deck was our highlight and we sat out there every night. You can see Mount Rushmore from the deck, day or night. The neighborhood is quiet and we saw deer there every day. The house has been updated and was nicely done. The furniture was nice. We thought the beds were comfortable. There were plenty of dishes for cooking and anything we would need for our stay. There were quite a few steps to get to the main level, but fine for us and our Dad. The garage was a bonus while staying there. The house is a good location for doing all the things the area has to offer, Custer, Mount Rushmore, Badlands, etc. If we are in the area again, we would rent this house again.
