One of our favorite places to stay, ever! The home is beautifully updated, immaculately clean, and has the best-equipped kitchen. We were able to cook large meals easily, and the kids had plenty of space to play. The back yard (complete with deer and rabbits) was great, and we love the deck. Host Christine always responds promptly and made our visit so easy!

Family getaway

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.

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.

This house was perfectly located for all of our adventures. I want to stress that it is a 5 star review. The only parts that we may have changed was the amount of seating in the living room. Adding some additional seats. And an airflow option in the basement like a box fan. The house was super clean and welcoming which honestly was most important to us. I would stay here again.

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.
