We had a wonderful stay in Hermosa. The place was so clean and inviting. Our family of 5 were very comfortable here and the hosts are very welcoming to their guests. Black Hills attractions are easy to get to from here.
Very clean, beautiful duplex with everything you could need. Centrally located with a grocery store and coffee shop just down the street. Comfortable stay for us and our kids
Our Black Hills vacation was all the better because of the great features of this rental. We appreciated the peace and quiet of Hermosa located close to all the points of interest that we visited.
This is the best vrbo place we have ever stayed at -so clean and organized. It has everything you would need. It was beautiful and and spacious. Bridget was super nice and communicative and thinks of everything yoy would need.
This is one of the best VRBOs we have stayed in. The place was clean, well-thought out, and had everything we needed. It is close to Custer and Keystone and an easy drive to the rest of the region. The Shorbs are great people and highly responsive. I highly recommend this VRBO. Don't forget to eat at Lintz Bros Pizza when in Hermosa!
We were there for 3 nights. It is a great location to visit all of the surrounding parks and monuments. The owners thought of everything to make to make our stay comfortable including fruit pops in the freezer!
We live close to a big city and just needed a place to decompress and enjoy a view with no buildings or distractions. We loved the place and feel like we need another week to explore the area.
Traveled to SD for the Bison Roundup at Custer State Park. This cute, clean duplex unit was perfect for us - close to the park. Very quiet, with easy access to the main road. SD is beautiful and we were able to explore it all from here.
Perfect place for our family! Located a quick drive to so many great attractions. Bridget was very welcoming and her property is clean and comfortable. We had all we needed! Thank you!
The place was perfect. Bridget couldn’t be more
helpful. It was very modern and comfortable. Everything was labeled and easy to find. There wasn’t anything you could want. I loved how she had to go coffee cups for me to take in the morning! We were close to everything. A hidden gem in the hills. We loved Devil’s Bathtub, renting ATVs, Custer, Needles Highway, and so much more. Our family made some great memories here!
Property was as pictured/described on the website and clean. Lots of details considered- I appreciated little things like labels on the cabinets making stuff easier to find. It was a great spot for us to explore the Badlands Park and Rushmore area. Loved the little coffee shop in Hermosa too. And- close to a dollar general really helped since we traveled with kids for last minute supplies. Rules, check-in/out, and communication were all smooth and reasonable. Recommend!

Fantastic property. The location is centrally located and perfect for going to Mount Rushmore, crazy horse, Custer State Park, hot Springs, Rapid City, and not too far from Badlands or Devils Tower. The owner is thoughtful and keeps this well appointed with a nicely stocked kitchen (tea, coffee, salt, pepper, and many other niceties like sandwich bags, wrap, foil), nice toiletries, and laundry supplies. She isn't stingy w/supplies. This property is new and no expense was spared. It's super quiet despite being a duplex, epoxied concrete floors with radiant heat, nicely decorated with nice furnishings. Been 6 feet tall, it was really nice to have a spacious shower with a high mounted showerhead. Owner was super kind and made this stay a great one!
We had a great time. The home was clean, nicely decorated, and host thought of everything you could need. Would definitely stay here again if we're in the area. Thanks!
This was a great place to stay while we toured the area. Easy drive to Custer State Park. Living room, kitchen, and bathroom were very comfortable. The Queen bedroom’s bed was very comfortable. The second bed was very firm. Decorations were cute and cozy. We would definitely stay there again.
My parents and I had a wonderful stay. This house is perfectly located close to everything we planned to do from the Badlands to the Black Hills. Bridget was so easy to communicate with and all the details made the house a great place to relax. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.
Beautiful place to stay, great location for Mt. Rushmore, Custer State, Park, Crazy Horse. Our family of 4 stayed here during our visit to SD, host had a warm welcome for us, would highly recommend.
Everything was clean and well organized. The rooms were spacious and well laid out. The remotes for the TV were underneath the TV in their homes. It was a pleasant place to stay. We will definitely consider it the next time we are staying in the Black Hills
Great property! Clean and just as advertised. Check in was easy and hosts very responsive. Very close to mount Rushmore, Custer state park and the Black Hills. Perfect location to be close to everything but go back to quiet area to rest. Highly recommend!
The unit was exactly as described and was the perfect home base for our family vacation. Bridget was very responsive and easy to work with. We highly recommend this unit.
It felt like home the moment we walked through the door. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed for our stay. The location was perfect for our home base. We were able to see everything we wanted to see…Mount Rushmore, Custer Park, Needles Highway, Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway, Badlands National Park and more. Bridget was great to communicate with us. Wonderful accommodations.
