Great location

We rented this property for our family getaway to visit Mt Rushmore, Badlands & Custer. It was in a nice central location. The property itself is in a quiet neighborhood with a peaceful backyard. The house was just as appeared in the pictures. Communication was easy with a detail about the stay in a welcome book. The host offered lots of complimentary essentials already inside- which was a first for us and much appreciated. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Great location and nicely decorated home in Rapid City!

My family had a lovely stay at this clean and super cute property. All of the communication with Athena was clear and timely. We loved the space for its great communal areas, huge semi-private yard, and overall quiet. The proximity to downtown Rapid City and the tourist attractions (Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse) was also nice.

Great Home

Our family really enjoyed the property and location. Very private and quiet neighborhood near city services yet the property felt like we were in the country side. We had wildlife as birds, elk, deer and rabbits every day all around us. All basic amenities were offered and well stocked. Very well maintained and would recommend to anyone. Definitely would stay again.

Great stay!

The house was comfortable and we had everything we needed. The back yard was the best and we all enjoyed spending time on a great deck with a large fenced yard, wonderful for kids and our small dog. We had deer that would lay in the yard next door and just watch as we enjoyed the deck. Our hosts were very helpful and responded quickly to any question we had. Would absolutely recommend!

Great house and property!

We came from Illinois and spent a week at this house for a competition. It was very convenient to get to the Monument where the comp was held and to all other stores, resturants, etc. It was also between a lot of attractions. The house was the perfect size for 4 adults and 3 kids. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The backyard was perfect too and we saw deer almost every morning and turkeys one morning too. We would definitely stay again if we ever go back to S.D.

SD vacation base

We had a fantastic week at this house for our vacation and would definitely stay again if we’re back in town. Property was very clean and in great condition, owners very nice and respond quickly to any questions. It’s pet friendly and we brought our mini bernedoodle puppy with and the fenced backyard was perfect for her to get some exercise in off leash along with the kids. Despite being a pet friendly house there were no issues for our kids who do have some allergies to dogs that shed a lot. Neighborhood seemed safe as well.

The kitchen was good except the directions to trash bags were not right. They also could have had better textiles. The throws were pretty beat up, and the towels had several worn areas. No extra bedding at all and it was chilly. I’d say out of 100 I’d give it an 85. Pretty pretty place the linens did not match the beauty of the place.

*BEWARE OF THE MOLD SMELL! *Old house with renovation

The bedding smelled like mold. The house was not clean, dust and cat hair on the floors and furniture. It’s smelled moldy and damp in the house. My sister had to leave after one night and go home because her asthma was bad from the mold. The back yard is beautiful. House is in an established older neighborhood which is nice

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. We take great pride in maintaining a clean and pet-friendly environment and are disappointed to learn that fell short during your stay. Please know that we are taking your concerns seriously and will be implementing additional sanitary measures to ensure a more consistently fresh experience for all of our guests. Regarding the odor you mentioned, we do have the carpets and sofas professionally shampooed each spring. It’s possible what you noticed was a temporary residual scent from that recent cleaning. We’ve had many long-term guests over the past several months who’ve had nothing but positive things to say, particularly about the cleanliness and comfort of the home. Our most recent long-term guest did have a dog so that may have been what caused the reaction for your sister as we have never seen, had or heard of any mold in the home . All of that said, your feedback is valuable, and we’re committed to doing better. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Wow!

The photos of this rental don’t do it justice. Not only were the owners more than accommodating but the property is homey, spotless, has everything one could want/need for a place to stay during a vacation. There is so much thought out into every inch of this home. The location is so close to everything and the neighborhood is so cute. We even saw deer in our front yard one evening!

Great home away from home!

We found this home to be very welcoming. The owners have gone out of their way to provide little extra things that not all places provide ( laundry detergent, toiletries, condiments, et.). The communication was excellent and check- in and out went very smoothly! We walked around the neighborhood and a near by trail. We were surprised to see deer nearly nightly and even a fox one evening. The pizza restaurant recommended in the book left for guests was excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. It’s close enough to drive to many of the “must sees” in the area. We visited Mount Rushmore, The Badlands and Custer Park. We also got in a couple of shuffle board games one evening. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
