Great place, exactly as described. Loved the location and views. Check in/out was easy. Hot tub was very clean. If I was being really picky I’d say the pillows on the beds were not very comfy but that’s a very minor thing.

Beautiful, homey, and clean home. Only 5 minutes from the closest Adventure. Had an amazing stay with family while minutes away from Reptile gardens and Bear Country. Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse within a half hour. If you don’t want to go out, delivery is just a click away. Many beautiful parks and even a lake just down the hill. Nice fun and relaxing time with family.

Rapid City home in hills
The house is centrally located to many attractions near Rapid City, which was great. The view from the house was very nice! However, the house is in the hills, mostly rock and tall grass on a sloped lot. There is little to no yard for very young children. There is a park about 3-4 mins away which we used alot. It is quite beautiful and provides play areas for young ones. Our family had a very good time staying at the home.
