6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The location is great. Communication with property manager was good until we checked in. After check in there was no communication. The upstairs bedrooms were very warm due to very warm outdoor temps. Asked about a fan, sent two follow up messages; never got a response. Sent three messages over the course of a couple hours (4:30-6:00 timeframe). Downstairs kitchen has food splatter on the wall behind the stove. There is a mouse somewhere in the lower unit; woke up to mouse droppings on the kitchen countertops. Upstairs unit bathroom looks to have mold starting on the ceiling. Bedrooms are a bit cramped.

Graduation get together

Super fun stay, loved the place! Only complaint was the location in the sense that there was no yard for kids to play in, however there is a park/grassy area nearby. Easy to communicate with owner. Great place especially for a large group! And beds were very comfortable

Perfect getaway

I recently had an great vacation in Keystone, South Dakota, staying at a lovely Duplex. The location was breathtaking, surrounded by the stunning Black Hills. The home itself was comfortable, clean, and well-furnished. The amenities were excellent, including a fully equipped kitchen and modern technology. The proximity to Mount Rushmore and other attractions was a definite plus. I highly recommend this vacation retreat for a memorable getaway in Keystone.

Mount Rushmore Visit

House was very clean and spacious for a family of 5 adults. We each had our own room and the living space was very spacious. The unit upstairs and downstairs are identical with 2 bedrooms each. The location was very close to our destination, within minutes from Mount Rushmore. We only stayed one night but it served its purpose.
