About this property

15 min to Mount Rushmore, Black Hills.

The view from the home is beautiful, you can see Mount Rushmore in the distance. Nice Hiking on the property and close to everything. Very Private, which is nice when you come back from a long day. Crazy Horse is also, close. The Badlands is about an hour and 15 minutes away.
We also live on the property but we will never bother you unless you need something. You have your own place and we have our own home.

My husband & I had a wonderful stay at this rental. It had everything we needed for our 6 nights there. It also has amazing views. You can see Mt. Rushmore in the distance. Mike & Lisa live on the property, right next to the rental, but do not invade your space unless you need them. They are very friendly, even gave us some eggs while we were there. They readily answered any questions, gave us a quick tour of the property when we arrive. You are free to walk/hike their property. The property is close to Keystone & all the major sites in the area. Easy to get around. There is peace & quiet here. So relaxing to sit out on the balcony/deck & look at Mt. Rushmore, listen to the birds.We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It is a great place to stay.
