Bob was a great host. He was there to greet us and show us around. The house was spotless. It had everything we needed for our 8 night stay. Bob checked in with us after a few days to see if we needed anything else. He even called on Mother's day to wish the ladies a happy mother's day. If we are ever in the area again, I would be sure to stay there.

The house was beautiful, perfect view from porch of the amazing landscape. It was very clean and comfortable. About 1-1.5 hours from badlands depending on which entrance you use, and about 20 minutes from mt.rushmore. Was a great base for our traveling. The town also had a great restaurant around the corner. The owner, Bob, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and a great resource to help direct you in any advice on what to do for the day. We greatly enjoyed our stay and if we ever get back to South Dakota we would love to stay there again.
