Was ok needs some tlc
The kids loved the hot tub. The beds were very comfortable and nice sheets, and it had a pack and play in the highchair which worked out great! Didn’t feel like we were all on top of each other. We all had our own rooms which was great.

Waterwheel House
The house was very clean, the beds comfortable. The house is close enough to the interstate that it can be hard to have a quiet conversation on the front porch. Other than that a nice house and stay.

Home with a view
Very relaxing place; near the highway but not overly loud. Place was very clean and beds are comfy. There is adequate towels and hygiene products. Nice view of the hills from the upstairs balcony. Close to everything you need to do in West South Dakota

Nice but could’ve been better…
There were 4 of us that stayed, 2 adult couples…We stayed 3 nights… The dirt road to the house was harsh on our vehicles… the waterwheel was not working, there wasn’t a drop of water in the pond while we were there… From the moment we arrived, flies were a problem… I believe something is dead under the porch by the putrid smell on the porch..and maybe that’s why the flies are so bad… House was pretty clean, and lots of things provided by host like towels, TP, laundry soap, dishwashing soap, etc. Also, beds were very comfortable. A couple outlets didn’t seem to be working, and the master TV has bad internet… we couldn’t even watch a full show on Netflix.. that was annoying… The upper balcony is unsafe.. the wood is scary to walk on and the railing wasn’t safe.. be careful up there! It could’ve been a little more kept up/nice for the price.. kitchen chairs have rips in the seats, etc. We did enjoy our trip, but had higher expectations for the price we paid…
