Great House, Be Wary of Snow
Was a great house, no complaints about the house itself. Was clean and the listing accurately describes the house. We visited during spring break (March) and decided to stay here to visit Mount Rushmore and the location was fine in relation to the national park as well as Custer Park. There was no cell service here for both AT&T and Verizon, but the WiFi provided by the owner was robust.Our only problem happened when we got unforeseen snow came down overnight before we were leaving. We're from the Chicago area so a little snow never scared us. However, the combination of a gravel driveway and a steep bump to get out had us stuck. On top of that the street leading out was on a hill too, so the driveway was just the fist hurdle. AAA refused to come out, fearing their tow truck would get stuck in those conditions as well. Luckily the cleaning lady stopped by and asked her husband to come help us out. He luckily was able to come out with his treaded bobcat with a plow attachment and a pull harness. He both had to pull us out as well as plow the area at the top of the driveway and the street. If not for him, we would have been completely stuck. When we thanked him he said that it wasn't the first time. For this reason, I would highly encourage you to be careful about booking this location when there is even a remote possibility of snow unless you have a truck that is used to these conditions. Under any other conditions, this location was lovely and we would recommend.
