The 1880 Train does come within 40 ft of our door! Such a great place to relax close to town, but out of the hustle and bustle of the city crowds. We really enjoyed it.We had the best of both worlds. The property is close to Mt Rushmore (we went twice--once in the daylight and once at night for the lighting ceremony), the Zipline, all of the scenic drives, the train depot as well as the downtown area with restaurants and shops. We attended the buffalo roundup at Custer State Park. Our hosts let us borrow a couple of lawn chairs to take with us. It was great--so glad we came.The host met us when we arrived and showed us around the property to give us good tips! They were always only a text away, when we had a question. The place was clean and tidy as it could be. They have all of the dishes and cooking supplies you might need. If you have other people traveling with you, you can have them over for a meal because there is a 12-person table!!!We would recommend this property for sure!
