WONDERFUL!!

If you are searching for a property in South Dakota for the perfect “South Dakota vacation” stop scrolling now!! This place was the absolute perfect location to see Rushmore, the caves, Cosmos, bear country, 1880 train, and all of the surrounding parks and their features! We had everything we needed for our four day stay and the host were so great and easy to communicate with! Our six-year-old boy loved adventuring around the cabins and they even have a play area! It felt like a five minute drive to anywhere we needed to go! We will definitely be back!
