I just spent 5 days at Cliff View and I am here to tell you, It couldn't have been any better! The place was completely stocked with everything you would need, and very, very clean! There is a general store and a tavern right next door which was a super big plus for me! I will be back! Thanks Tony and Jeff, I had a wonderful time!!

We recently stayed at Cliff View and were very happy with our stay. Tony was very accommodating and helpful. The apartment was clean and pleasant, with nice amenities (kitchen, laundry, etc). It was great to have an apartment with full amenities for our family of 4, as it allowed us to feel like we had a home to come back to, rather than just a hotel room. The apartment is centrally located to many towns/attractions, and enabled us to venture out in a different direction each day, thus seeing lots of different sites. I was a little disappointed about not having internet in the apartment, but the people at the store next door were pleasant and accommodating, so I was able to access to WiFi as needed. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would recommend Cliff View.

Our family of four has been spending several days a year at Cliff View for 5 years now primarily because of the close proximity to family. Its central location to our favorite fishing spots and various Black Hills attractions is another reason we keep coming back. Every day is a road trip and we keep finding new places to explore and enjoy so transportation is a must. It is a great place to relax after a long day. This year we included other family members from New York and Nebraska and we all had a wonderful stay. The apartments are very comfortable, clean and well maintained. This year we met Tony for the first time and found him very personal and helpful.

Couple With Dog Very Pleased With Our Five-Night Stay

We had never stayed at a Vacation Apartment before. We were in the Rapid City area because our son was getting married and chose Cliff View because it was close to the wedding reception, where we would also be spending time setting up and tearing down the decorations and tables, etc. the day before and the day after the reception. We enjoyed walking around the area every day as it is very scenic. I was in contact with Tony, the owner, numerous times via email and he spent a lot of time answering my questions and sending us directions and a list of places to see. I was very impressed with his helpfulness. The unit we stayed in was well-equipped and roomy to make it very comfortable. I really liked coming back there at the end of a busy day. It was a great home-away-from home. There was even a nightlight and a couple of fans, three ample closets and a lot of shelving and drawer space as well as a nice kitchen, dining area, and living room. Having 1 1/2 baths was appreciated. The water pressure was fine. We would certainly come back to Cliff View if we are in the area again. I would not want to stay in a motel room anymore when we are traveling. Vacation apartments are the way to go. I liked having a gas station/convenience store with deli so close. The baked beans at the deli were excellent. We didn't have a lot of time for sight-seeing because of wedding activities, but the location of Cliff View is convenient for sight-seeing. We are happy we found Cliff View and think you would be happy too.

Everything about Cliff View Apartments was exceptional. It was clean and had everything we needed. The cost was well worth all the amenities provided and the relaxation we took in. Tony was available whenever we had questions. The people at the local store were friendly and very helpful. We spent most of our vacation time in Rapid City so getting to the apartment was easy and a beautiful ride at the end of the day. I would highly recommend the apartments to anyone vacationing in the Hills area.

Tony was GREAT! - He was very understanding of our situation in flying in town on a standy-by status and if availablility would still be there. Thank you for all the help and patience. Unit was clean and quiet. Jeff who manages the property was GREAT as well! Location is wonderful with lots of georgous scenery all around. Not far from the main town of Rapid City. I have already recommended this place to co-workers who travel alot as well! Only negative...extremely low water pressure. But hey..we are not traveling for the water pressure! Most definiately will stay here again!!!!

Nice and clean apartment is in a great location to all the scenic views and some of the best riding for motorcycles you will find. Good food and coffee next door.All the locals are friendly and you will have some good conversations and Tony is a great host he is ready to help you with any questions about the area. Would like to return in the fall or spring to ride all the back country roads.
