Tour of Badlands and Black Hills

We picked this place due to its convenient location to the Black Hills and Badlands NP, and not wanting to move from different locations, so staying in Hermosa was a good choice. House was clean and had everything we needed.

We enjoyed the location of the house—nice quiet neighborhood, close to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, etc. The house was roomy and felt like home!When I booked the house I didn’t notice that the house was pet friendly, and it does smell like animals.

Family trip, 6 adults and 1 kid, several of us had never been to South Dakota.. I was hoping the property would be ok for everyone. Ends up it was even more spacious than we expected! User friendly layout, very cute decor. We were all pleased and comfortable. Good central location for all the activities we wanted to do! We did wish the patio, porch and picnic table were in a little better shape or there was little patio sets to spend more time outside, and the bunk bed was too squeaky so we made some modifications to our sleeping arrangement, but that’s the only minor complaints. Pops market and soft serve within walking distance was very handy! Would recommend a recycling bin if service is available in the area. Thanks!

Great place, we are a family of nine, we had plenty of sleeping options. A baby bed and high chair were provided. We divided up the cost of sharing a house as opposed to getting hotel rooms, big savings. We ate out for lunch and cooked dinners in.

Badlands/Custer State Park/Mount Rushmore

Property was centrally located for all of our planned daily trips. The yard was not particularly well kept and the chairs they provided for outdoor seating were more like small tables.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Sept 2023
I’m sorry you felt like the yard wasn’t well kept, our lawn company makes it out about every two weeks but with the recent amount of rain it’s grown a little faster. The outdoor seating definitely has a very picnic-y feel to it like in our pictures😊 We’re glad you appreciated the location and we will work on providing better outdoor seating for future guests.

Wonderful out of the way home

This is a great house in a small town on the southeast edge of the Black Hills. Just south of Rapid City and near Keystone. This is place is great without the higher prices that the bigger towns charge. Big bedrooms, living room and kitchen. There were 7 of us and we didn't get in each others way. Highly recommend this place.

We are a family of 4, we love to travel and relax on vacation. We have lived in several states but our little town of Hermosa in South Dakota has been the best! The people, the community & small businesses are wonderful! & just a short drive to all the adventures the Black Hills have to offer. We love it here.
