5⭐️ Adorable Home Next to So Much!

MelanieRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had a good stay here with our 2 dogs. The home looks like the photos and is close to downtown in a safe, quiet area. The beds are very firm but comfortable enough for a short stay. Even with the cleaning fee, you will need to do the laundry, run the dishwasher, and dispose of all trash outside. Every property is different, so just be aware of that if that’s something that matters to you. Overall, we would recommend staying here.

At the Gateway to God's Country: 2-BR Sturgis Apt

MarthaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Cliff and Mary were extremely responsive to problems we had before going there and changes in who was arriving and when. When it turned out we were not able to go at all, they responded with a more than fair refund, even though we weren’t able to notify them until the 2nd day of our supposed visit. I thought that extremely fair and wished we could have gone. I highly recommend them even though we weren’t there. People that nice have to have a good place. And I really missed getting the chocolate chip cookies!!

South Lake Haven

AngelaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We used the cabin for an employee retreat to regroup as a company. This space worked great for many reasons. They provided WiFi and clear password instructions. No issues with connectivity. They provided a little welcome basket with goodies which was unexpected. We did not have to worry about coffee because that was also provided. We bought some groceries for lunch and snacks and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. There is a nice big table that we used for work as well as comfortable couches. There was a ton of room and the space is very open so you can see everyone in the room without issue. Getting in and out of the house was a breeze, the instructions were clear. The house itself was very peaceful with the lake behind it. The house feels nice and private as there are no houses on either side of it.

We had a great stay! Amanda always responds quickly and even allowed my family who were arriving much earlier than us to have access a couple of hours before check in time. The house is cozy and in a quiet neighborhood close to pretty much everything. We would definitely stay there again especially when the pool is available to swim in.

Your guide to South Dakota

Welcome to South Dakota

The landscape shocks and awes in Mount Rushmore State, nicknamed for one of the country’s most iconic monuments. Bighorn sheep inch among brightly banded rock pinnacles in Badlands National Park. Some 70 miles west sprawls Custer State Park, offering twisty drives, cool mountain lakes, and some of the best wildlife viewing on the continent. Long to experience the prairie? Turn to Wind Cave National Park, one of America’s oldest preserves. Bison and elk roam the ancient grasslands blanketing one of the most complex cavern systems in the world.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in South Dakota

Heat-seekers should aim to book one of the state’s cabins during summer, when daytime highs reach 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with night temperatures dropping abruptly to the 50s and 60s. Fall gets chillier before the severely cold winter conditions set in. Think substantial snow and average lows of 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrr! For shoulder-season deals and sparser crowds, opt for fall over spring, which serves up more thunderstorms. However, February does bring the quirky Nemo 500 Outhouse Race, where fundraising contestants rally in human-powered shacks with at least one seat hole.

Late June kicks off with the FinnFest in Frederick, celebrating Nordic traditions including a wife-carrying championship in which the prize is the rider’s weight in beer! Also notable: the Fourth of July celebrations at patriotic Mount Rushmore, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in August, and September’s Buffalo Roundup (part of the state park’s herd management). For Indigenous history and culture, there’s October’s three-day He Sapa Wacipi Na Oskate (Black Hills Pow Wow), which includes grass dancing.


Top things to do in South Dakota

Badlands National Park

Around 75 million years ago, a shallow inland sea covered what is now Badlands National Park. After this salty basin drained into the Arctic Ocean, erosion helped sculpt the terrain into an otherworldly riot of pinnacles, buttes, and gorges. One of the world’s richest fossil beds remains, capturing traces of the ancient horses, rhinos, and catlike animals with saber teeth who once roamed the grasslands. Today visitors are more likely to spot bison, bighorn sheep, and black-footed ferrets. If you need a little extra animal excitement, stop just outside the park. A 12-foot-tall concrete prairie dog looms there, near an enclosure with a colony of its live cousins.

Skeleton Man Walking Skeleton Dinosaur

The family behind 1880 Town inexplicably built this landmark nearby. A human figure leads his bony T-Rex buddy on a leash: a sight best viewed (carefully) from the roadside. Stretch your legs in earnest 16 miles east at Okaton, a prairie ghost town originally settled by railroad workers. Today you’ll see ramshackle houses, rickety fences, and rusting farm equipment, alongside traces of a failed attempt to monetize the haunting, picturesque spot.

Wall Drug

Eight miles north of Badlands National Park stands a humble 1931 pharmacy that transformed modern tourism. The Hustead family erected signs offering free ice water to drivers on Route 16. Soon their kitschy hand-painted billboards marched across the prairie and even further afield, cropping up in London, Morocco, and even Easter Island. Stop in to see the jackalopes and giant dinosaurs.
