Rockerville Paradisee

We truly enjoyed our stay here! It was the perfect location for us because we had a family event at Palmer Gulch so it wasn’t too far away from that, but it was also close to everything. We especially enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the fact that we could go for a morning walk without having to worry about traffic. The hostess was wonderful to work with and communicative.

Perfect Black Hills Homebase

This home is perfect for a family Black Hills vacation! Located close to many attractions, we were able to explore the area with ease. After long days hiking and exploring, we loved coming home to swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub and unwind. The home was spacious and had an incredible master suite!

Spacious and super clean! Great property. Comfortable beds, awesome soaking tub. Time constraints (and weather) kept us from enjoying the hot tub and pool, but they were available! Great home base for visiting Mt. Rushmore, Custer Park, Crazy Horse, Needles Highway, etc. Owner was easily accessible and directions clear. Recommend highly!!

Amazing all around!

The home is beautiful inside and outside. Very clean, comfy beds, lots of seating, and central to so much in the area. Owners were very nice and easy to communicate with. So much space inside and outside for our family of six, made for a great vacation home.

Nice getaway; good location

Very nice property & enjoyed our stay. Lovely home. I would recommend to others, but it's not 5 stars because there were a few hiccups. We did not have use of the hot tub the first day/night of a two night stay with no jesture to make-up for lost time. There were a few long black hairs in the kids' beds we removed & a few flying insects/small bugs in the house we took care of. The owner/agent indicated the prior renters left the house a mess so not sure if any of these were a result of that along with the short turn around until we arrived. A couple of things we felt were odd was there were no tissues in the house that we saw & while coffee was provided, there were no sugar/creamer packs found as in other rentals, but these are minor. Host was kind & flexible in making reservations which was appreciated. Host was respectful of our time on the property.

Great Family Vacation

We recently spent a week at the house with our family of four. The house was wonderful and the outdoor space was very relaxing. Great central location to all local attractions. Everything was ready for us when we arrived. Highly recommend this house.

Easy Living

We enjoyed all the amenities including the hot tub and great secluded yard. The home is deluxe for dining in, cook-outs and just relaxing. It was fun watching the deer feeding in the evenings. We were there for Bike Week and the location was excellent for access to Rapid City, Sturgis and the Black Hills.

Excellent location

You can't beat this location. The house was beautiful and located just outside the City. Just 15-20 minutes from Rapid City and 20 minutes from Mt Rushmore. The family room was soo cozy and I loved the all the natural light the rooms provided. The back yard and fire pit was beautiful and so inviting but due to the rain we were unable to enjoy it. We would def. Come here again.

Beautiful Home-Highly Recommended

My family stayed for one week in this home but we could have easily stayed longer. Clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family of six and our dog. We loved sitting in the hot tub every night, grilling dinner on the deck and s'mores by the fire pit. What a dream vacation thanks to this property.
