We had an amazing trip to SD. We met Jean when we took our pups outside, so friendly and non-intrusive during our stay. The property is the prefect size and location to experience the Black Hills, Badlands, Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park. Everything was spotless inside and it was obviously remodeled recently.
Thank You Jean for offering a great place to stay during our visit to Rapid City!
This was our first VRBO experience and it was a five star stay!! This property met every need that we were looking for. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet street and the distance between other residences, it had a rural feel. The house was clean and we loved that it had wood & tile flooring instead of carpet. The bathroom and walk-in shower gave us plenty of room to get ready for the day. Jean and Bob were awesome! The “Red House” will be remembered when we think of our vacation to South Dakota! Thanks a million Jean and Bob!
The just right place to stay for anyone.
The mattress was just right by any Goldilocks standard. The yard was just right for our dog who was on the look out for cottontail rabbits under and around the fabulous cottonwood tree.
The cabin looks recently remodeled with accessible features in the bathroom, the shower was comfortable with a low threshold, handlebars were thoughtfully placed, just right for any age or ability.
The kitchen was bright with white appliances and plenty of light. Coffee maker was handy on the kitchen counter by the sink.
A couple blocks away is a great grocery store where you buy just about anything, including porridge (oatmeal) for everyone's tastes.
We had no trouble sleeping, the ambient sounds were just right too.
