Great place to stay

This was a great place to stay- it was central to everything, very clean and very nicely updated! The unit had everything we could possibly need while we were there. I do agree with others that the road noise was a bit loud as well as the others above us, but other than that, we had a great time!

Best decision to book this VRBO unit!

We had so much fun exploring the area and this place was conveniently located to many points of interests for us. Inside was super clean, updated, spacious, we caught up with some laundry from our travels and allowed us to regroup for the rest of our travels back to NY state. If this place is available for your time travels, book it!! You will not be disappointed! Happy travels!!

Very Clean

Very clean property. The general location is close to restaurants and attractions so the only reason it’s not a five star all around is that the house is located right next to a very busy road and the road noise is very obvious.

Nice Apartment

Location suited our needs for touring the area and business we needed to take care of. On a busy street but in the lower unit couldn’t really hear anything. Our dog enjoyed watching the birds and bunnies in the yard next door, pretty much stayed by the slider watching. Not the greatest area to go for walks but we were out most of time anyway. We had a comfy bed, nice kitchen and a full bathroom with a washer dryer which was greatly appreciated.

Nice comfortable flat, but location left a bit to be desired

The pros: it was a very comfortable flat with plenty of space and nice appliances and accommodations. The cons: I’ll preface this by saying we stayed in the flat the nights leading up to the Fourth of July. The cops were called to the house across the street and there were cars driving down the road with music blaring throughout both nights. It is a very busy location.

Just Right

We enjoyed our stay at this modern well decorated comfortable unit. We were pleased that the photos accurately show the place. It is modern, polished concrete with well appointed decorations. The bed was comfortable, towels soft. Entry was easy. Communication good. The unit is a little noisy as it is on a busy road and you can hear the upstairs folks as well. Nice fridge. Big screen tv. Good WiFi. Keurig coffee. We would stay again.

Excellent appliances and set up! Comfortable bed and relaxing living room. Perfect for exploring Black Hills area and returning to this space for an evening of relaxation or rest before enjoying Rapid City. Location is handy with easy access to interstate. Road noise (as some other reviews have mentioned) at times is present, but was not bothersome. Highly recommend for a couple’s getaway that wants to blend Rapid City activities with Black Hills area. (We spent time in Badlands NP and Wind Cave NP). Would stay there again!

Thank you so much for this detailed review! We're so glad the space was comfortable and worked well as a home base for exploring the Black Hills, Badlands, and Wind Cave. We appreciate you mentioning the road noise - we do note it in our listing, and we're glad it wasn't too bothersome during your stay. We'd love to welcome you back for another getaway!

Mount Rushmore is just 30 minutes away, making this the perfect home base for exploring everything South Dakota has to offer.
