Our stay was great! Easy check-in and check-out. Great amenities and very clean. Loved that there were Kleenex boxes all around, ziploc bags, and garbage cans throughout the house. I will plan to book again when in the area!

Family Visit
My daughter lives in Aurora, so the home was very convenient. Beds were comfortable. Had everything that we needed. Plan to stay there again in the future.
Quiet neighborhood just out of town from SDSU. Very short drive to Brookings. Older house but clean and well furnished. Had everything we needed. It was a pleasant stay for the price of a hotel room.

Quant home in small town SD
We were in town for a friendsgiving and stayed for an extended weekend. Home had everything we needed, very cute home and my kids absolutely loved the bunk beds.
The home was very cozy. It was very welcoming. Located in a small, quiet town just 10 minutes from Walmart. We stayed for 4 days and it had everything we needed.
We had a 3 week job near Elkton, SD and this VRBO was a much better option than a hotel room. The place was clean and comfy. I texted the host a few times with some questions and she was amazing. Quick responses and super helpful!
We wanted a quiet place to enjoy time with family to celebrate a child's college graduation. This property was absolutely perfect as we were away from the craziness of of Brookings on graduation day but still close enough that we didn't feel like it would be a hassle to get to the city. The property was impeccably clean, well maintained, well stocked and cozy. We loved our stay and are excited to return next year. The property was impeccable

Very clean and comfortable
We were attending a wedding in the area. The house was well stocked and very clean. There is only one bathroom, that’s the only downside.
I really liked the property. The combination lock on the door made it easy to come and go on our schedule (we arrived late evening and left early morning). It was an easy drive to the SDSU campus (where we attended a football game) and to restaurants, etc. in Brookings. The home was cozy and comfortable. No complaints.
We were visiting Brookings to watch our niece play in her college conference softball tournament at SDSU. This house was absolutely perfect for us. The house was extremely clean, cozy, and contained everything we could have needed for the four days we were there. We even had access to an extra cooler which was greatly appreciated. We slept great thanks to those comfortable and cozy beds! We only had a short seven mile drive to the SDSU campus. We have done a lot of traveling to watch college softball all over the country and this was by far the best place we have stayed. Thanks for everything!
