Lovely but not for everyone
There are lots of reasons to like this location, it’s in a quiet spot and is perfectly located to the area’s many attractions. Paula is also very responsive, helpful and a wealth of knowledge on the area.
The bungalow is located above the garage with a lovely view from the deck.
If you are comfortable with a mini refrigerator (no freezer) and hot plate for a stove (no oven) and with 19 wooden steps-to access the unit then you won’t have any trouble.

May vacation in Black Hilss/Badlands
this is a quiet, comfortable place with a nice view from the spacious deck of fields, horses, trees and hills. A perfect spot from which to launch to the Black Hills and Badlands. The owners are helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice Quiet Loft
Paula and Steve were great hosts, very welcoming and full of great information about the area. If you need anything they are next door. Nice clean place just far enough from the bustle to be quiet, but close enough to see everything that you want to.

Much need reset
The host Steve and Paula(the hosts) where very welcoming and helpful for suggestions of things in the area. The place was a very nice 1 bedroom, living room with kitchen bungalow style off way from the house atop the work shop. With a lovely patio, we enjoyed at nights with a glass of wine/beer. We where happily with in 30 mins to just over an hour drive of everything possibly we where wanting to do. Mount Rushmore, Crazy horse, Rapid city, Custer State Park, Black Hills state park, Wind Cave state park and the BadLands National state park.
