Very nice house to stay in close to everything the area has to offer. House had a lot to offer when we were around to use it, from the hot tub to the game room.

Such a comfortable home! Clean, comfortable, well appointed kitchen and bathrooms, close to all the places we wanted to go. We were delighted with this property!
Pots and pans were very poor. The bathroom door upstairs is mounted on a slant so it won't stay closed. Shower drain on the main floor was clogged and the upstairs shower head did not fit the shower; water didn't drain over your body but rather just hit you in the face. We loved the game shed and the hot tub!
Had a great experience for our group of 4. Appliances worked great which helped us save money by cooking there instead of eating out. Loved the covered parking so we didn't have to worry about having to remove snow in the morning.
We vacationed here from Colorado over our spring break and this place did not disappoint. Very cute little touristy town with lots to do. House came fully equipped with everything we needed to make it our home away from home. We all had a great time and would surely stay here again. Thanks so much, Casey!
Great location, short walk into town . Super cute. Clean. Beautiful surroundings. Could use a few little things, like more dishes. We had 7 people and by lunch had used all the dishes. Overall great.
It is a good place to stay. Owner was very responsive. WiFi was down most of the time we stayed, but I think it was an outage beyond owners control. This is located in the "older" part of Keystone, but was still a nice location. I was there with my family and it served our needs well. I was wishing that the property had some family board games available, but I should have brought them along with me.

We enjoyed our stay in late October at Grandma's Goodnights! It was spacious enough for our family of 6. We enjoyed being able to cook meals while we were there and there was plenty of space for everyone to sit and eat. Beds were comfy. Showers in bathrooms were good. It was nice to be able to wash and dry clothes in the newer machines. The hide a bed couch was nice on the back entry for additional sleeping area for kids. We especially enjoyed the hot tub on the cool evenings. That was our favorite part of the stay.
Its an older house that has been remolded with cute charm. Only recommendation I would make would be to have comfortable seating the living room area. I understand you are wanting to keep the historical charm with the furniture but more modern and comfortable couch and chairs would be beneficial that have recliners in them to kick back and relax. That's what most people like to do when they are on vacation.
I would highly recommend it to others- the location is great too!
Went to Keystone for a family vacation. Husband, myself and kids (16,14, 9, and 7) Plenty of space for all of us. Nice to be close to the action, yet stay off the main drag away from the hotel crowd. Also like being able to cook some meals and stretch out for a quick break. Only downside - would have been nice to have some bigger beds (all 3 bedrooms were double beds I believe). We are used to queens and kings, so a little tight there. Thought it would be a little more isolated from other houses too - those weren't showing up in the pics but you will have neighbors. It is at the end of a city-like block. But overall a big thumbs up. Thanks!

We picked a quiet time to visit the Mt Rushmore area, which meant no crowds, and also some activities not yet open. The lovely house was centrally located for many activities and for visiting parks and monuments. After reading a previous review we made a point to bring our own books and games, which was good. Being an older house, the stairs were steep, which was fine for all but my elderly mom, who was able to sleep on the main level. The VRBO app said we should already have instructions for entering the house a couple of days before we went, but we didn't get any reply from the manager until the day we arrived, which was still in time to enter when we arrived. The WiFi wasn't posted so we needed to ask for that and were provided with it. We definitely hope to return.
