Mount Rushmore
This house was great. View from the deck is the real bonus. House had everything you would need for a comfortable stay and was spotless. Within walking distance to the historic district of Keystone and easy drive to Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park. We enjoyed cocktails on the deck at night looking at Mount Rushmore - it was so quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

Mount Rushmore view
We did enjoy our stay. Property manager responded right away when I notified him we were a bit early. The place was clean. It was very nice to drive into an enclosed garage to exit into vrbo. the location was great. wonderful porch however it was very cold while we were visiting so we did not use it much.. It snowed! The downstairs bedrooms are very cold. The downstairs bathroom could use a heater/vent/light. It only has a vent/light. Besides the cold situation, we would all stay there again. thank you for a wonderful memory

The property is a bit rustic but very clean with a clear view of the side of Mt Rushmore. Many sitings of deer in the yard and surrounding area. Entry from both the street and garage are from the lower level and the main living area is up several stairs. That would only be an issue if stairs are a challenge for you, after all it is on the side of a mountain!

Great house and location
We loved our stay in Keystone. The house was centrally located to everything we wanted to do and 5 minutes from Mt Rushmore. You really can see Mt Rushmore form the house, which was pretty cool, especially for my (obsessed) 5 year old! The house was also very clean and they provided just about everything. They provided, or previous renters left - shower products, laundry detergent, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, plenty of extra blankets, plenty of washcloths and towels, coffee, and kitchen dishes and utensils. We grilled mostly. There was even a folding table and chairs for extra guests. Like other reviews said, 2 bedrooms are downstairs while the primary bedroom is upstairs. My kids (4 and 5) didn’t want to sleep downstairs at first but they eventually warmed up to it. The basement was pretty cold though. Beds were okay but pillows were kind of flat. Bathrooms are outdated but very clean so it didn’t bother us. Showers were small. It was very nice to be able to park in the garage. Check in and check out process were very easy. Overall, I’d highly recommend this house and if we come to South Dakota again, we will definitely be staying here again.

My first bad review ever
2 /5 To say property is a Premier quality rental is Definitely misleading. Would definitely rank this rental in terms of cleanliness, outdated features, well below average. The whole property does not look like they take pride or care in maintaining the outside appearance or interior . The landscaping is overrun with weeds, even the entry door is surrounded by cobwebs and dirt. Once you open the door we really understood what Our family hadgotten yourself into The main entry comes is extremely dated small interior entrance was not shown on advertised photos. carpeting looks has been barely cleaned and are very much end of life!!! The downstairs has two bedrooms plus a tightly packed furnishings and a foosball table all of which occupy a tiny common space. The two main bathrooms were poorly cleaned, when you open the cabinet drawers are line by old vinyl wallpaper that his peeling off and as much as adhesive curled up along the edges. Within the cabinets you will find a limited Hodgepodge of old towels mixed ages, colors and various thread Bear status. The bath towels were such poor quality I would be apprehensive To even call them poor quality cleaning towels. Each of the showers are roughly the size of a telephone booth with a stained shower curtains. The lower level of the house had an abundance of various insect infestation including at least 40 spiders which my niece, nephew for terrified, spiderwebs in almost ever corner of the ceiling. Cobb webs Have now been cleaned thanks to my mother, prior to that the kids wanted to leave The rental and find a hotel. The upstairs master bath has a Jacuzzi tub. I tried to fill the tub with an adequate amount of hot water the water tank was able only to fill the lower 1/3 of the tub before it ran out of hot water. My nine-year-old nephew and 11-year-old niece best describe the property probably most concisely as “gross, filthy and disgusting” My nephew and niece wanted me to give the property A total score of zero out of five. I am being more generous when I provided with an overall score of two out of five MY advice is to anyone who has made a reservation at this property, seriously reconsider or verify that this property has been more adequate cleaned updated Towels and linens updated with contemporary quality carpet. My family will not be staying at this place ever again. I have rented from lots of rentals over the years of which I’ve given fives. JS and family

Beautiful!!
It is exactly how described and more!! So clean, and they go above and beyond as far as things that are supplied. The views are breath taking, especially at night when mt rushmore is lit! In the morning the deer all gather in the yard for their breakfast, asking with bunnies around all day, and turkey! It is peaceful and serene! I highly recommend this home, the inside is decorated so nice, they really put allot of thought into it. Communication is great as well!! We had such a great time seeing all the sights and just sitting on the deck in the evenings enjoying the nice quiet atmosphere!!

Spacious and inviting
Located in town but feels secluded. Surrounded by a few nice homes though you can’t see them while enjoying the deck. Our kids took over the downstairs area while my spouse and I had the master upstairs. The decor was all themed around the black hills area and amount Rushmore which was a really nice touch. While we were out and about most of the trip, we did enjoy playing the national park version of Monopoly and eating take out on the deck. Great for marking memories. Would definitely stay here again.

The house location was great and convenient to the Black Hills attractions. The house had plenty of room, and I enjoyed the deck and the view. I was disappointed that there were not enough towels for a 5 night stay, and some of the towels were stained. Also, the showers were small!

We selected this property for the view of Mt. Rushmore and it was exactly as we hoped for. Quiet neighborhood with beautiful view of trees and wildlife on the property. Having a garage with garage opener to park our car was a really nice option. Especially during the times when it rained and hailed.

Perfect Rushmore Getaway!
This property was amazing! Perfect location, right down the street from main Keystone shops and so close to Mt Rushmore. The backyard is right up to a forest of trees that our 3 boys (9, 9, 11) could play in. The deck faces Mt Rushmore and we watched the lights go on and off every night. The location. Was clean and had all the appliances we needed. We would recommend this to Everyone and if we ever come back we will stay there again!

Adventures Galore!!!
This house was beautiful - views of Mt Rushmore were great! So much to do in the Keysone area - we could have stayed for another week trying to fit it all in! House is a great "home base" for all the exploring that you want to do and even for days to just relax!! My family made so many priceless memories, and with my husband having brain cancer, we realized that life is too short to wait for "some day" .. America the Beautiful is an understatement!!

Three siblings and spouses from Utah, SD and MN met for Thanksgiving weekend. This rental property location was perfect! The view of Mount Rushmore added to our reflections of the many blessings we have as a family and the country we are so fortunate to live in. The property was clean, warm and inviting. The contact person was readily available to discuss a couple minor issues. Thank you for sharing your home, and hopefully we can return sometime in the near future.
