Rushmore 2024

What originally was a bucket list item to see Mount Rushmore expanded for various sightseeing day trips. Location was centrally located for us to get to all our destinations including Bad Lands, Devils Tower, Mt. Rushmore, Custer Nat’l Park, Sturgis/Deadwood, and Crazy Horse. Amenities were fantastic - washer/dryer and hot tub were great to have!

Family Get-a-way

We took a family trip to the Black Hills and loved our vacation! This VRBO is located in a great central area for a short drive to many attractions including Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park. We would have loved to have stayed longer. So much to do, and not near enough time to fit it all in! Great place to stay!

Great for families

Had a great time over a long weekend. Location is excellent for day trips to various sites. The space was exactly what we needed - lots of room for the kids to have their own place. It was incredibly hot while we were there but we stayed cool enough at night with the window AC units and leaning the bedroom doors open to keep air circulating. Would stay again next time we are looking to visit the area. Easy checkin and checkout process.

Great place!

We had a good time….the house was perfect for our get together. There was enough plates and glasses for our crew and there was kitchen appliances like a crockpot. Big table for game playing. The hot tub was wonderful: clean and had good temperature. Lovely for a winter evening! I would rent it again!

Space and location are perfect!

This home has enough room for a family to relax and enjoy each other. Our group loved the long dining room table to fit all of us, proximity to attractions, front porch and hot tub. Kids enjoyed the horses running behind the property each day at 5:30 pm. I would recommend to bring lawn games to play outside.

Great place!

Recently stayed at Rippling Creek Haven with 4 adults and 2 young children (and there would have been plenty of room for more!). It was a great experience - beautiful location and close to many things to do in the Black Hills. Hot tub was great to sit in in the evening and the propane fireplace was nice. Lots of space in the kitchen. Instructions for everything was clear. Would stay here again.
