PET-FRIENDLY / COZY / DOWNTOWN RAPID

Perfect location, amenities

Cute and cozy with all kinds of additions to make the stay feel like home. Owner was responsive and helpful every time I reached out. Will stay here again!

The host was very responsive. The house was well stocked. It was perfect for what I needed.

Great spot to stop for the night on a road trip. Quiet, comfortable and exactly what we needed.

This property was very pet friendly, even left poop bags and doggy treats. The beds were supef comfortable. It was exactly what we needed for our 10 day stay.

Excellent location excellent overall condition on the property. Floors were a bit dirty, but nothing bad.

This was a wonderful house (clean & pretty) but I have to give it four stars instead of five because it was impossible to adjust the temperature so I was hot all night. To be fair, I didn’t reach out to the host because it was late at night by the time we were going to bed. The next morning she said she could control it with her phone. So, I’d stay here again but would make sure I figured that out before bedtime.

Very clean, cute, cozy home. Emma the owner is a sweet person to work with. This is our second time staying here and we will be staying here again.

Perfect spot for us for the night. Thank you!

Our impression was it was clean all amenties needed to stay and a quiet neighborhood. We saw Badlands, Custer Park, Mt. Rushmore, Sturgis, Deadwood, Stearfish and much more. A lot to do and see. If you like Chinese, we ate at Golden Phoenix, which was great!!! Emma was great in her responses to us!!!!

Emma had a great property for our stay! Very continently located near lots of sight seeing locations. She had great communication and even left us some recommendations which was very helpful! Would stay again

A very cute, well maintained house in a great location. Very close to downtown, and quick access out to Rushmore, Keystone, Custer, the airport, anywhere you want to be. Very comfortable beds. The living room is great and a big kitchen. I cannot recommend this highly enough. This was our first VRBO experience and was fantastic

We stayed for an overnight while headed west. Cozy, clean home. Unfortunately, we were woken up at night by noise from people on the casino parking lot.

Let’s start with the positive. Location, location, location. There was plenty to do and most things were fairly close. The property was definitely clean. To the point of smelling like bleach when we walked in. But that’s probably because of the standing puddles of water still on the floors that I had to clean up to avoid slipping. So I’m obviously done with the positive. Now to the reasons I would NOT recommend this property. We mostly travel using VRBO. This is by far our worst experience to date. The host was completely unreachable and uncommunicative until we contacted VRBO directly and they were threatened with fees reversal. When we arrived nearly 3 hours after our scheduled check in time people were still there, inside the house. I was told they were cleaning still so we had to wait outside for them to finish. That was my first attempt at contacting the owner with no response. The porch steps were completely overgrown with weeds, we were unsure how to lock the door to secure the property so we could get dinner. Again tried to contact the owner and this time the secondary contact with no response. Once VRBO finally got them to respond and the closest thing we got to an apology for the lack of communication was an I’m sorry BUT. Which is no apology really. They were far more interested in making excuses than in making anything right. Their solution was to CANCEL our stay. Then make more excuses when we declined.

The house was not ready when we arrived. No bed linens until I washed them, they were in the washer. After driving 9 hours I had to do laundry and make beds. Owner kept adjusting the thermostat, when we left for the day and came back she had turned it up remotely, so we came back to a hot house. The fenced in front yard was not accessible due to new sidewalks being put in, lots of construction noise and city workers working on putting the fence back up. Young man showed up to mow and weed eat back yard, he only did half and left. 5-6 packages were delivered that we had to bring in and find room for. Amazon delivery’s always get the dogs wound up…the deliveries should have been sent to owners home so she could deal with them. Overall I felt like it was a “working” vacation. The home was very nice and conveniently located and had many extras such as bubble baths, soaking salts, coffee, laundry soap…. We managed but would have rather not been disturbed with daily deliveries, laundry, front yard construction, mowing, and temperature control.

It was very convenient to everything we came to see.
