This place was awesome. One of the cleanest vrbos I’ve ever stayed at! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cooking supplies, spices, and coffee. There were a ton of blankets and towels which was great. The outdoor spaces were awesome and well stocked with balls and toys, a playset, patio furniture. The grill was the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Such a great location. A short walk down the driveway and you could see Mt. Rushmore which was so cool!! We also saw lots of deer, turkeys, and bunnies. We also were able to order grocery delivery from Safeway which made everything super easy. Could not recommend enough!!

There aren’t enough stars to give this place! We absolutely loved it. Everything was so clean and cozy, and it truly felt like a home away from home. This was our first family vacation in over 20 years, and the experience was incredible.The rooms were spotless, and we were all blown away by how well the kitchen was stocked—there were so many cooking utensils and supplies, everything we could possibly need was provided. The hosts really thought of everything, and it made our stay stress-free and enjoyable.Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience for our family. We loved every minute and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, family-friendly getaway!

Great clean property and would be proud to stay there again! Nothing but first class contacts and best location and service I’ve ever received.

The house is magnificent, with its polished log aesthetic and comfortable furniture and fun decorations. We appreciated the collection of board games as well. There is wifi and two televisions. The view out the back is great, and we saw a couple deer out there. I spotted a real toad outside next to the sculpture of the three banjo playing frogs. We had a great stay!
