House has been remodeled and is fairly new inside, however as others have noted, there is a musty smell. Also, unfortunately, not cleaned very well from the last stay. Dirty utensils, half eaten cookie on top of fridge, ashes still in grill. Fire extinguisher is from 1984!! Not going to help in case of a fire. To top it off, during the week, the next door dog barks it's head off at 6:30am so don't plan on sleeping in.

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 8, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you appreciated the interior updates, but I’m very sorry your stay did not meet expectations. I sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered, including the dirty utensils, the cookie left on top of the refrigerator, and the ashes in the grill. That is not the standard I want for my guests, and I am addressing it directly to help prevent it from happening again. I also take your comments about the musty smell and the fire extinguisher very seriously. Guest safety is extremely important to me, and I am reviewing and replacing any outdated safety equipment immediately. I understand how frustrating the early-morning barking from the neighboring dog must have been, especially when you were hoping to rest. While that is unfortunately outside of my control, I’m sorry for the disruption it caused during your stay. I appreciate you bringing these concerns to my attention. Feedback like this helps me improve the experience for future guests.

Great hosts, location, and very spacious!We picked this house because of its convenience to Mount Rushmore, a lake with a park, restaurants, and shopping. This place really delivers with enough space for 3 couples or a family of 4! It's peaceful too. I can't think of one reason you shouldn't book your stay here.

We had a wonderful time, and the house and available amenities were a big part of that. We made use of the fire pit, the kitchen and cookware and bakeware, and the garage. 1-1/2 baths were just enough for the three of us. We found the beds comfortable, and the blankets helped ensure a warm night’s sleep. This rental was exactly what we had hoped for.
