We stayed in this adorable cottage for 20+ days as part of a 6month road trip and we had such a wonderful time. We explored everywhere possible and it was so nice to come home to a cozy, well appointed cottage by a river. The property is situated well off the road with the creek running through the level backyard, perfect for hanging out with your family. Our dog loved it! Keep your pups on leash though.. we were surprised many times by wildlife right in the yard! While there are great activities relativity nearby (Wind Cave NP, Moccasin Mineral Springs, The Mammoth Site), many of the other things you come to see near rapid city will be at least an hour away. The drive is worn out though, as we saw Buffalo daily. The hosts are incredibly kind and can answer any quotations you have. If you choose to stay here, check out the steam coming off the creek in the morning.. it's part of the mineral springs system and was warm in the 30 degree mornings. I would stay here again!
