Summertime Visit with Family

This continues to be a favorite VRBO home for our family when we come to town. The home is in a wonderful location, with the lake within walking distance for so much fun! The home itself is very clean, well decorated, comfy beds and bedding, great cooking supplies, a wonderful back yard with firepit, and just overall wonderful. I am very particular about our VRBO rentals, so know that this is a GREAT PLACE to stay!! Dee is wonderful to work with, and she has even thought of details such as smores roasting sticks and paper to get a good fire going! SUPER location!!!

Excellent Vacation Spot!

Interior of house was decorated very nicely, well kept and clean. Provided all necessities, with a gorgeous landscaped yard and fenced in patio in back for privacy and evening fires. Very friendly neighbors. Lots to do and nearby. Great walking paths and sights to soak in on foot or by car. Canyon Lake park is gorgeous and lots to do. Close to city, yet just far enough outside of the busy rush of traffic and tourism. Loved our stay and the space for our family!

Rapid City Vacation - Excellent Adventure!

I really can't say enough wonderful things about the area and the rental property. Let me just say the property is even better than advertised. It is spacious, immaculate and conveniently located. My Mom, two nephews, dog and I absolutely loved it. The western part of South Dakota is beautiful and there are just tons of things to do, the week we spent was just not long enough. Hope to return next year, and would definitely recommend both the property and the area as a go to spot!
