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.

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.

Frying pans have scratches in the coating
There were some existing damages - the most was the floor in the master bedroom...it has a hole underneath the carpet.
The railing is a potential hazard as it is loose.

It was a nice clean place to stay in a good location. We loved the location and all the tips for things to do in the area and we did a lot of them. The only down side was the WiFi was not very strong which made it a little hard for my husband to get some work done. It also had a smell of dog which was a little hard for my daughter and I . There was also a little bit of damp carpet in the master which I wasn’t sure if that was from a recent cleaning. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay! The hosts were ever attentive in answering questions. Nice place!

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.

Family Vacay

We enjoyed our stay! The home was comfy, clean and had all the necessities.There was plenty of room for 6 adults although we had to stagger showers since the hot water ran out quickly. The internet was slow so definitely plan on just relaxing and disconnecting while there. The location was great too. Close to restaurants and stores. Just a short drive to many other attractions in the area. The front and rear deck areas need some love and repair, but overall a nice rental. Hosts were very friendly and helped with whatever was needed.

Perfect Location

This home was the perfect location! Centrally located in a wonderful little town that gives you access to anywhere you want to go in the Black Hills! This home had everything we needed for a week long stay with the family. Traveling with a toddler can be challenging however they layout of the residence was great and everyone had they own space to retreat to when needed. I appreciated the kitchen having so many items available to us to make cooking for 6 much easier! The owners were easy to get ahold of and communication with them was a breeze. We plan on being back! Thanks again!
