Wonderful location for the Black Hills vacation sights

The home had everything we needed to make our stay in the Mount Rushmore area very comfy and convenient.The kitchen was stocked with all the basic cookware, plenty of utensils plates and other tableware. The home was very clean, the coffee makers were kept busy, and the rear covered deck was a nice place to enjoy turkey and deer "parades" though the neighborhood. All appliances worked as they should, the WiFi was fast, water pressure was good, and the youngsters loved the TVs with Disney streaming.We had plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, etc.Overall a great trip with a comfy place to call home for a few nights :-)

Loved everything about our stay!

We were all delighted when we walked in the door! From the lovely decor, clean and spacious rooms, to the well stocked kitchen with coffee , tea, spices and laundry and dish soap, we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay here. The many extras that were thought of such as the thorough information book about the area, the games and interesting books throughout the homes made our visit fun and easy to plan where to visit and eat. The back deck with BBQ and seating area was great. ( we bbq’d a lot! Chelsea thank you for a wonderful stay at your house!

Excellent!

This property is Amazing!! Very well laid out and the decorative atmosphere plus exceptional cleanliness caused us to comment several times throughout the trip how we could not have picked a better place! It’s centrally located to everything we wanted to do. The communication with the owner before booking and during our stay was superb. She very quickly responded to any questions or concerns that I had. Arrival and departure was simple with keyless entry. She also messaged me that it was ready before stated check in time if we wanted to go on in, although we did not get to as our flight didn’t land us in the area until evening. But very nice for her to offer! Definitely recommend this property 10/10!!!

Great house centrally located.

The Bare Necessities was a great house for our family get together. It's located centrally for all the national attractions and places of interest. The house is set up so you are able to visit, cook, play games and no one is left out. There is a great deck off the back to sit and visit with awesome furnishing. Chelsea was also great to work with. We would definitely stay here again.
