We booked this property as a launching point to Mt. Rushmore and various other attractions. This is in a very nice area of Rapid City, VERY quiet and set up on top of a hill.
The property is landscaped perfectly, it's really quite stunning. You can tell the owners care deeply for nature. Plants and flowers are everywhere. Once inside, the home was AMAZINGLY clean. The kitchen is huge and updated with one of the biggest kitchen islands I've ever seen. The living room description mentions theater seating which is true but it can be a bit awkward if having group discussions since you're not actually facing each other. That said the kitchen island has plenty of seating to make sure everyone is able to be together.
Off of the kitchen is a door to the attached garage which is actually a man cave/she shed with a TV and seating. You can open the back door and the garage door to this space to get a great breeze. Again, that area was very clean for being an indoor/outdoor space. There is a 2 car detached garage if you'd like to park cars in there as well. My son loved the basketball hoop that was mounted on the garage as well.
On the other side of the house are all the bedrooms. The master is smallish but does have a massive closet. The master bathroom is a little dated and does offer a sunken tub/shower so if you have issues with mobility you'd have to use the other bathroom which has a standard walk-in shower. Off of the master is another room that has the sauna as well as the washer and dryer. This rooms is pretty big and has tons of empty wire shelves if you need storage. The room is heated and cooled but we kept the slider shut from the actual master bedroom.
The rest of the bedrooms are decent size and offer queen beds. The room at the end of the hall has a TV, small desk, microwave, and mini fridge.
There is a basement space as well with tons of board games. The decks in the front and backyard are great. There is a gas grill in the back as well as a firepit and hammock. Again, the space is very well maintained.
Mt Rushmore is about 30 min away, Custer State Park, around 45 min, Wind Cave, a little more than an hour and the Badlands/Wall, also around an hour. All places we visited. The owners were kind to leave maps and travel guides to all of the spots as well..
Overall this is great place that is very clean, quiet and large enough for our family of 6. We would HIGHLY recommend this spot for anyone heading to South Dakota!
