For anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of South Dakota with a large group, this is a great place to stay. It's only minutes from Hill City and about 20 minutes from Mt. Rushmore, so the location has a lot to offer. There's plenty of open space to relax, run around, and have fun.A few things to note: if you use a water filter, bring bottled water. Also, if using the hot tub is important to you, be sure to ask whether it's filled before you arrive. And finally, be prepared to want to extend your stay—you may find yourself really enjoying the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of the place.

Great property! Clean and love the location! I just wish the hot tub would be available all year round--this might be a deal breaker and cause us to stay somewhere else in the future!

Place was clean and beds were comfortable. Just disappointed with well water and mineral deposits so bring bottled water. Not much ice production for coolers. Minor maintenance issues and one ceiling fan could not change speeds. Host was great with responding to questions. Overall good stay, but a little pricey.

Big Family Vacation

This spacious house was perfect for a family of 8! The location is beautiful - private and out of town but close to everything we wanted to see and do. Only wish we had more time to further explore the trail that runs right by the property!
