Cozy Creekside Retreat

ChristinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Very peaceful stay and perfectly located to visit Mount Rushmore. Wish we would have enjoyed the porch during our stay, since it was so peaceful out there, but our time was limited. Overall perfect space for my husband and I. Our only dislike was the sulfurous water, but we read this is previous reviews and just brought our own drinking water.

High Country Guest Ranch - #25 Rodeo

MeridethRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Great place to stay for our family! We enjoyed the ranch setting and the animals. The location is great and close to so many attractions. There are many amenities offered. We were very excited to see that they had added a beautiful swimming pool. Unfortunately at the time we were there it wasn’t open yet, but families will really appreciate it in the future.

The Dens at Bear Rock #2-King Bed, Studio w/stairs

JeffersonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This is the perfect location for anyone wanting to spend time in the hills. It’s about 15 minutes to Sylvan Lake and 20 minutes to Windcave NP. The place is super cozy while also having plenty of space. It was very clean. The kitchen has everything you would need, including a full size refrigerator. I also really appreciated Nathan’s quick response to a “change of date” request. We had looked at the weather a few days prior to our original scheduled trip, and it was supposed to rain our entire trip. We asked to move our reservation back a few days, and within 30 seconds they had accepted our request. I would recommend this Airbnb to anybody. We will definitely be back!

Americana Escape | Fire Pit, Games, Mount Rushmore

KarenRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Our family of 6 stayed here for 5 nights for our stay to explore South Dakota. We visited Mt Rushmore, the Badlands and Custer State Park. The location worked really well for all of that. Amanda was so responsive and helpful. I had a few questions while packing and then some questions upon arrival. She responded within minutes with all kinds of helpful suggestions. The house itself was great with plenty of supplies like paper towels, laundry detergent, trash bags, and everything you would need. The deck was beautiful. We were out too late every day to use the grill but that would have been great. I highly recommend this property!
