We had an amazing time staying at the Black Hills Basecamp! The property is complete with all of the essentials that you and your Dogs need (Very nice fenced in yard to keep the Pups Safe). The walking trails that run along the Stream/Pond are so Beautiful and peaceful for an evening walk after a long day of sight seeing. It was fun to see the Mule Deer walking through the Neighborhood when you walk out the front door. All of the Major attraction are within an hour drive or less. The Hosts are very nice and super responsive if you have any Questions during your stay. 10/10 Recommend this place to enjoy your Rapid City/Black Hills Vacation!!

We found the home to be at a very convenient location. It was a 2-3 minute walk from a beautiful park with a pond and large stream. It was also a quick drive to downtown. It was quaint and met our needs as a family of five. The owners are quick to answer any questions.

We enjoyed our stay at this unit near the Black Hills. It is in Rapid City, close to many restaurants and grocery stores, about 10-15 minutes from many of the major local attractions, and about 30 minutes from Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, and other Black Hills draws. It was extremely hot during our stay, and the AC units worked pretty well to keep the bedrooms and common areas cool and comfortable. The unit is cozy, and the loft area worked OK for our 6 & 8 year olds to sleep, but it is up a steep ladder within one of the bedrooms. We didn't cook a lot in the unit, but it did have a good stock of kitchen wares. The bathroom is also cozy but had a good shower and washer/dryer built-in, which we appreciated. Access was easy and the hosts were great at communicating. The unit was a very good value during peak season and right before the Sturgis rally!

This cabin had everything we needed. It was a great location, perfect for seeing all of the popular places in the black hills. The walk to the lake was short and easy! The only thing I would recommend a new mattress for the loft in the near future. The other beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean!

This was the perfect place to stay if you intend to explore the Black Hills of South Dakota. Everything was within a 1 to 2 hour drive for us. Accommodations were great. Owner was very responsive. Neighborhood was clean and bustling with runners and dog walkers. Park around the corner was perfect for an evening stroll after sightseeing. This is a great place.

Property listed for different rate and I was charged more than that rate. Front step was a loose slab of slate ( could be a lawsuit waiting to happen) there was a patched spot in bathroom on floor which was sketchy. Could not reach owners as the website was trying to connect with several sites at the same time. Neighbor was rude Did contact VRBO

This was a perfect little place for our visit to Rapid City! The fenced in yard for our dogs could not have been easier. We loved the gas fireplace as it was cold and snowy while we were there. The location was excellent! It was an easy drive to downtown. We REALLY loved the nearby County Lake and all of the walkways and trails. They were perfect for taking our dogs for a walk. Also, the lake was full of fall migrating waterfowl! We saw some species that we had never seen before! Lastly, a big thank you to especially Tara. Thanks for being flexible with our changing dates due to the snowstorm. You were so helpful and our communications were timely and helpful. We so loved our visit. Thank you!

This place was perfect for me and my 79 year old mother who were in town over Thanksgiving visiting family in the area. The cabin had everything we needed (including a washer/dryer combo), and the backyard was perfect for my small dogs. The location is also great as it is close to walking trails and a beautiful lake. Plus all the tourist attractions are just a short drive away. We especially enjoying turning on the gas fireplace while getting organized in the morning. Tara and Chad we super helpful in getting us checked in a bit early. I would have loved to have stayed longer, but we had to get back to "real life". :)

We stayed with our dog and the property was perfect. Temps hit over 100 and the AC kept it cool (although one bedroom was a little stuffy, there were fans in the rooms). The back yard was great for our dog and the space had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s also very cutely decorated. We went to Badlands National Park and toured all around the Black Hills from the convenient location. Communication with the hosts was easy and responses to our questions were prompt. We would definitely stay here again when in the area!
