Charming and lovely! We will be back!

We loved this house! So cozy and homey. It’s definitely an older house but that meant there was so much charm to it! It was a great size, there were plenty of games, books and movies available for our use. The pool table was a great added amenity. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We especially loved that a dog crate was available for use. We plan to come back with a bigger group and we know that the house will be able to fit everyone comfortably. Oatin was so kind, called to ensure we were comfortable and suggested things to do around town. The welcome book also had great recommendations. It’s in a great location, we could walk to many places plus an easy drive to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Black Hills. We can’t wait to visit again in the summer!

Disappointing

The location of this property is perfect for touring the Black Hills. However, as mentioned in other recent comments, the house is old and needs a lot of work, particularly the bathrooms. They are very old and in need of major work - no shower head in the basement shower, kitchen faucet on the master bath sink, torn shower curtain, among other things. The kitchen and living area were fine, but I expected something more up to date for the amount of money we paid. Very disappointed.

Horrible bathrooms!

House was pleasantly larger than anticipated. Plenty of beds. The low rating is due to the condition of the bathrooms and general uncleanliness of house & yard. Bathroom toilets, sinks & tubs were gross with chips, stains, & hard water rings. Carpet in the king bed room was filthy with stains in multiple places. The bathroom towels were stiff and not present on the main level. We had to search the house & found them downstairs. The kitchen was dirty, dusty and not stocked well. It didn’t feel like house was ready for paying guests and overpriced for the value we received. For heavens sake, take the huge host fee and shampoo the carpets, clean the silverware, wipe off the front of the dishwasher, & be ready for the next client.

Cute place!

Very cute place which made a great base for our family as we spent time exploring the black hills. Good sized kitchen for cooking. Was disappointed that the decks pictured were not usable due to being under construction of some kind. No air conditioning
