So enjoyed our time at this home with an amazing view of the area. We enjoyed a family meal in the beautiful great room, played games in the cozy family room, and had an excellent few nights of sleep in the cozy and comfy beds. Skip the hotel room and choose this property!! Also—the host was attentive to our every request—that made this stay one of our best in the Rapid City area.
