Amazing home in South Dakota!

The house was so charming and simply gorgeous inside and out. We had an amazing time and didn't feel like it was too far away from any of the area's attractions. The owners were so accommodating if we had questions or needed something yet left us alone to enjoy our vacation. Our favorite spots were Sylvan Lake, Spearfish Canyon and Mt. Rushmore. Thanks for a great time!

Comforts of home in a beautiful, secluded spot

We enjoyed our stay in this spacious, cozy home. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 and it was extremely well equipped. The house is full of love and memories, and the secluded property is gorgeous. There is plenty of quiet space, yet it is close to many of South Dakota's parks and attractions. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We would gladly stay here again!
