Perfect in Every Way

We loved everything about this house. The location was perfect for adventures to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, the Badlands, and so much more. In fact we could see Crazy Horse from the road to the house. It was comfortable for when we spent the afternoon watching movies while it rained. The property was clean and spacious. We loved staying there!

It is a very nice house and awesome shower in the master bath. One suggestion is to have enough toilet paper always available and facial tissues, too. Also enough hooks or towel racks for the amount of people that can stay there. A bit more shelf or table space in the bathrooms for the guests things would help, too. Also, look at getting a bigger pressure tank for water pressure. It would trickle out of the shower if you just flushed the toilet. The kitchen was great!
