Great little place

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and had everything we needed. Enjoyed sitting on the back patio and taking in the cool air. Conveniently located, although the street construction made it a bit hard to get to. Once we figured it out, we were fine.

Lovely spot with everything you need

This was our first time in the area, and this lovely bungalow was the perfect spot from which to get to Wind Cave National Park, Custer State Park, and the Black Hill National Forest. It’s nice and clean. They provide everything you need for comfort and cooking. The owners are super responsive! (Only reason we marked a star off the location is because the surrounding streets are under construction, making access challenging - it’s in walking distance to the center of town.)

Perfect place!

The property was perfect for us! The two levels gave us room to spread out and we all felt comfy in our own space. The house was spotless and smelled SO clean when we arrived. They had homemade blueberry scones and a note for us when we got there, which was a nice touch! We all really liked the decor too, as it made it feel like a home. The check in and out processes were very easy, and the hosts were great to work with! We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to any friends we have headed that way for vacation!

Family vacation

The property was exactly as described. Upon arrival, we were very surprised to find fresh scones along with a sweet note from the owner. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything that we needed for meal prep. It was obvious that our hosts put a great deal of thought into making their guests comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and Convenient

We had a great experience with this property. The owners have used the space very well. The location is amazing and worked perfectly for our vacation. We spent the majority of our time in SD outdoors and this house was close to several destinations (approx. 1 hour from Mount Rushmore, 1/2 hour from the south entrance to Custer State Park, 10-15 minutes from Wind Cave National Park, and 15 minutes from Angostura Reservoir). The town of Hot Springs was extremely quiet with several food options. If you are looking for a place to stay while you explore SD this is a perfect option.

Hidden Gem

What a surprise to find this place! I’d only planned on 3 nights and ended up staying 5. Very peaceful and quiet, kind and friendly neighbors. One reviewer mentioned spiders so I bought some spider traps…nothing. The place was spider free 👍 The home had everything I needed and more, I especially enjoyed watching the deer every morning and evening from the bedroom window. I’ll definitely stay again!

Perfect base camp!

My friend and I stayed here as a base camp to the Black Hills. Easy access to lots of hiking, biking, parks, AND walking distance to Moccasin Hot Springs (which is a must-do on your trip.). We arrived in a snowstorm so we didn’t get to enjoy the back porch, which looks lovely though, and we hope to be back when the weather is nicer. The house is cute, we’ll-appointed, and we loved that it had 2 bathrooms too. Full kitchen and her adorable son makes and sells authentic Belgian waffles, samples of which were left for us as a treat (we bought a bunch more because they were delicious!). Great stay, great hosts and looking forward to staying here again!

An awesome stay!

I booked this for my wife and 2 daughters to bring our daughter-in-law to Hot Springs to celebrate her 40th with a getaway, and some soaking and yoga at Moccasin Springs. They were greeted with a nice birthday cake waiting for them. My wife said this was one of the most welcoming places she's experienced with VRBO. It was very clean, had a nice deck and there were extra touches included that made their weekend a special celebration for all the girls. Now, I'm looking for an excuse to get away with my wife for some relaxation. A special thank you to the hosts for going the extra mile to ensure a great stay. I highly recommend this home. You won't be disappointed.

Great base camp

Clean, updated home on a quiet street. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed coffee every morning and used the grill one evening. It was a great place to come back to rest and get ready for the next day. The house is located very close to wind cave national park and Evans Hot Springs. One of our favorite spots was Cascade Falls. My husband and I found the couch uncomfortable, it was too deep for us. So we took pillows from the bed when unwinding in front of the tv at night. My son actually slept on it and he had no complaints.

The house was a nice clean place to call our home base for our vacation. The ovation was a little tricky to find the first time, but then was an easy location to leave and return to to travel to the other nearby cities and activities that we enjoyed while in South Dakota.
