Our family of 5 had the most incredible stay at Kelli’s home. It was perfectly situated for our excursions (Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, Wind Cave and the surrounding towns) but what we loved most were the property and neighbors. The setting was gorgeous and relaxing and everyone was so welcoming and kind. We caught the local Hart Ranch Rodeo, explored the property and stream, watched the wildlife walk by all hours of the day and got to pet and feed the neighbor’s horses and even met the local pet raccoon.Our stay was truly an amazing experience and we cannot wait to get back to see everyone again and take a much needed nature respite!

A great tripod of light

We enjoyed our stay so much. The property owner gave us the best information on what to see and where to go. The property does have cows, turkeys, which we enjoyed as we are from the city I would stay again if we decide to come again with our grandchildren.
