Overall this was a good stay. There were a few kitchen items that need replaced and would have been nice to have. Check in and check out was very smooth. Communication was good. There was a dirty sheet covered in crumbs on the pull out couch when we went to use it on our first night. Easy enough fix, as the guests before us failed to take off that sheet themselves.

Perfect for Family Trip

The house was exactly what we needed for a trip for a family wedding. We loved the four bedroom setup and big kitchen / dining area. Bonus that it was walking distance to the wedding venue, and also other cabins/campsites where we had family and friends staying. Beautiful views too!

Beautiful house and great location

The house was as nice as it looked in the pictures. Great location near gas station, trails and food. Only 4 miles to Hill City where we had dinner and drinks several times. The house was very well stocked. There was even shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the showers! I would definitely recommend this house.

Black Hills Father's Day Weekend

We took a family trip to the Black Hills to celebrate Father's Day, and our stay was absolutely fabulous! The house is beautifully laid out and had all the amenities we needed to cook dinner each night. The location and neighborhood were perfect—close to all the area’s main attractions, yet peaceful and welcoming. Yvonne is a wonderful host who made everything easy and enjoyable. If you're looking for a spacious, well-equipped home in a great location, look no further. We’ll definitely be booking this property again on our next visit!
