Recent South Dakota guest reviews

We were celebrating Thanksgiving away from home with our daughter’s family and our grandson, who plays hockey in Rapid City. This house worked well for our group. The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of room for meal prep. The beds are extremely comfortable and I even looked at the make (Ashley) when I stripped the one I was sleeping on. Very nice quiet location - close to everything we needed. The HVAC isn’t distributing the heat evenly between the upstairs and downstairs. The bedrooms would be fine, but the downstairs would be almost cold. Someone else mentioned a problem with the TV in the living room. We had to keep rebooting the software to get rid of the annoying message blocking part of the screen.

Wow, this place is amazing! The owners have thought of everything to make this property a 5-star stay.

We took Thanksgiving on the road to Black Diamond Lodge. We had a little snow and the view looked like a Hallmark Christmas movie in the mountains. This house has a beautiful view and we had a great Thanksgiving holiday here. It was clean and spacious, and the hot tub was enjoyed. Everything was easy to understand and find. Make sure you have 4 wheel drive as the hill to get up the driveway is steep and it gets slippery with a little snow.

Discover South Dakota

While South Dakota is known for Mount Rushmore and Badlands National Park, these must-sees are only a fraction of what the state has to offer. With its abundant glacial lakes, winding rivers, and waterfalls, South Dakota technically has more miles of shoreline than Florida. In addition to its landscape and access to national parks, you’ll find attractions and events in neighboring towns, like the Sturgis Annual Motorcycle Rally, Rapid City’s incredible brewery scene, and the 1,300 bison that call Custer State Park home. 

A visit to the Black Hills

The Black Hills are a small mountain range in western South Dakota, extending into Wyoming and encompassing the Black Hills National Forest, Badlands National Park, and Mount Rushmore. Here, you’ll find natural outdoor attractions to fill your day, like Custer State Park, Bear Country USA wildlife park, and Sylvan Lake. Add something new to your adventure and sightsee the area by the 1880 Train tour, wander the historic Main Street of Deadwood, or visit the Black Hills Mining Museum and pan for gold. 

You won’t just find plains and farmland on your trip, but a variety of stunning landscapes, from diverse prairies, rolling green hillsides, dense forest, and jagged mountains, to quaint towns and cities in between. Reconnect with nature and ease back into a slower pace for your next trip with South Dakota vacation rentals.
