Stay In The Black Hills reviews in Rapid City, South Dakota

“This home was in a very central location, easy driving distance to Mount Rushmore, The Badlands and other surrounding Black Hills areas. It was comfortable enough for our group of 12. The host was very responsive when we needed something.”

“This location was a secluded and private location. It had a beautiful backyard and a few activities to keep the family busy. It felt private with a few neighbors, and was very easy to access the city without feeling like you were in the city. The only issues we had was the bathroom sizes as they must have renovated an older house, split one medium sized bathroom into two small bathrooms. We did note the floor being uneven from the remodel, but did not cause any issues. The walls and floor boards could use a scrub. Otherwise the house was clean and had the amenities you needed. The huge issue we had was there was no security. Not all doors to the outside locked so anyone could come in and out if they wanted to. There was no door or door code as stated so security was extremely low and made me quite nervous with my little ones safety.”

“Unfortunately, the home did not match the listing photos. The photos appear bright, welcoming and well maintained, but in person the home was very dark, with many lights not working or providing little light. There was also a noticeable musty/pet odor upon entering. Overall, the home felt dated and in need of maintenance in ways not apparent in the photos. Closets were filled with personal clutter, the kitchen was much smaller than expected. The basement door to the garage was also left open when we arrived. The “charming atrium” in the primary bedroom was an unusual tiled area with a drain and felt strange. Ultimately, we stayed only about 30 minutes before deciding we were not comfortable staying. We forfeited what we had paid and booked a hotel instead, which was much more comfortable and cozy. We wish we had booked the hotel from the beginning. We booked based largely on the bright, inviting appearance online, and unfortunately the home felt very different in person.”

“The layout and location was great. Bedrooms were lovely & clean. Convenient for our purposes and communication was very good. One reason I picked this place was the fenced in backyard for my grandkids to play. Worked out ok though the yard had some dog poop and trash in it. Arrived to trash and recycling bins completely full with trash in garage smelling up the garage. Grateful to the guy who came to remove some of the trash so we could squeeze ours in. Mice poop under sink in kitchen. I had a good time with the grandkids overall while daughter was at a conference all week. For the price I paid there should have been more attention to the cleaning issues mentioned.”

“Get a nice hotel room with pool & hot tub, money same and you'll have a better experience.”
