The vacation hub

The house was exactly as advertised and the owner was very responsive to questions. We enjoyed our stay and made great use of the back patio area as our grandchildren explored the hill behind the house. Very centrally located to all the activities within the Black Hills. We will definitely be considering it again, when we make a return trip

Very nice home and great location

The home was clean and well stocked with everything needed to enjoy our visit. The game room was a lot of fun. The two rooms on each of the three floors gave our family enough room to enjoy separate activities.

The Castle was perfect! The location was ideal for our motorcycle daily rides! We cooked several meals and the kitchen was very well stocked! The home was spacious and very comfortable! We had four couples and it could not have been better! Our Host Rich and Susan were very nice and attentive! Evenings on the back patio with fire pit were great! It was truly an enjoyable stay!!!

Castle

Rooms were clean and very roomy. The castle was close to the attractions we were interested in and very easy to find. We had some deer walk right through the yard while we were there. My son really liked that! Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Castle!

We spent our family vacation week here with ages 10-79. We’ve stayed at several VRBOs and this one is definitely a favorite. The kitchen is very well equipped. The two tables provided plenty of eating space. Everything is very clean. The patio is beautiful and we used the gas grill. We saw two deer and chipmunks while sitting on the patio. The town of Keystone is fun with shops, sky lift, ropes course and several restaurants. We also were able to see Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, The Needles, Sylvan Lake, chuck wagon cookout, horseback riding and kayaking. I would highly recommend this castle for your stay.

Staycation in the Hills

We did a staycation in the beautiful Black Hills & everyone loved the Castle! Rich & Susan were very prompt with any questions & communication we had. The kitchen was huge & very well stocked for all the items we needed for meals each night. We loved the outdoor deck area. It was perfect for early morning gatherings & evening yard games. We did the Stratobowl hike which was 10 minutes away & went to Hill City to bike on the Mickelson trail which was a 15-20 minute drive. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Gaslight in Rockerville, which was 5 minutes away. Very pleased with our staycation!

Rockerville Castle rocks!

We loved our stay at the Castle in Rockerville! What a wonderful house and location close to all of the best sites in western South Dakota. Mount Rushmore, Needles Highway, Iron Mountain Road, Jewel National Monument Cave, and more is close at hand. The house is appointed exactly as described in the listing. Working with the owners is easy and pleasant. The property is a perfect balance of remote wilderness with backyard privacy and deer roaming in the morning or evening, while also comfortably close to what's needed. I would have happily stayed here longer. We loved our South Dakota adventure, and the Rockerville Castle was a perfect part of it.

great family vacation

My family and I all meet here from around the country for a family vacation. It was perfect. The property owner was great. There was a power outage during our stay and the generator didn't kick on. They came to the property in no time and got it up and running. The power came back on later in the night. Over all everyone had a great stay. My nephew enjoyed the arcade in the finished basement. My parents liked that there was a bathroom on the main floor (no stairs after a day of adventures), my husband and i loved the master with the large soaking tub. Everyone love how comfortable the beds were. over all I'd give this property a 10 out of 10.

The best VRBO experience I’ve had so far!

The owners of this property are amazing! Our flight arrived early, and they allowed us to drop our luggage off, use the restroom, and change while they were still cleaning 3 1/2 hours before our check-in time, so that we could get started with our day. WOW! They were kind, hospitable, and encouraged us to contact them directly if we had any questions or concerns. The castle was clean, comfortable, fun, and perfect for the kids to run around outside, and then settle in for movies and games in the basement at night. The castle is in a perfect location right in between Rapid City and the other attractions around Mount Rushmore. I wish I could give it six stars ❤️We had a great time!

Brothers Vacation with Families

Our stay at the Castle house was wonderful. The accommodations were just what we needed. The basement area was great for the kids to hang out, play some nostalgic video games with the older kids (parents), watch a movie and relax after a long day of activities. The rest of the house was equally as nice. The bedrooms were just what we needed and the bathrooms were very clean and updated. I loved the castle-like hardware on all of the doors. It's definitely a unique house and fun to stay at. The location was fairly central for drives to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Deadwood, the Badlands, etc. We didn't need to contact the hosts for anything, because everything that we needed was already provided. The host did reach out to us before our arrival and afterward to make sure we were taken care of which was very much appreciated. If were ever in the area again, I would love to stay there again. I will be mentioning it as an option for others that I know who may be making there way out west to see what South Dakota has to offer. Thank you Rich and Susan for allowing us to stay in your magical castle.

Locked Out

The Property Manager gave the wrong entry code in the VRBO App so we had no access to the house trying the code over and over. Called the manager and he said "He forgot he changed it." Went to use the fire pit and no propane so had to go out and buy a tank and had a hard time messing with it to actually get it going. One of our guys fixed it. The grill was caked with bbq and had to be cleaned the burners were caked up and clogged the flames shot up almost burning my husband to be. Be careful on the stairwell they are small carpeted and dangerous for older people to walk down. I was hit with ridiculous fees in check out with rude remarks when I paid in advance for a cleaning service, they exaggerated the time we left which wasn't at 10 more like 10:45 sorry just was married. No alarm clocks or clocks, TV's are limited, so are showers. There was a man on the slope of the hill staring down at the house it scared me, no house phones to call 911 so make sure your phones are charged up. It's nice but the beds are dated and uncomfortable. I will never want to ever stay there after the way the wife spoke to me and the husband, I had to dispute ridiculous charges and I did settle for a less amount because a dog did come in and no pets allowed. Lastly, if you are wanting to be paid a cleaning charge up front then don't complain about the cups we placed in the sink.

Awesome Time!

We had a fabulous time at your home. It was truly perfect in every way!! The space was perfect for our friend group, and the driveway and garage was awesome for the motorcycles. The only little thing, the master bedroom is actually on the 2nd floor. Not a big thing but just wanted to mention if anyone can't go up the stairs for that bedroom. Appreciated all of your suggestions for dining, we tried out several that were just yummy. Thank you also for being so responsive to our pre-trip questions also, it really helped to set us up for success. Look forward to another stay sometime. Thank you again!

Stay at the castle

Great location. All as described. No problems so did not need to communicate with property manager during our stay. A lot of room to spread out. 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was perfect for 3 families. Large back patio was great for visiting and playing games in the evening. Well- furnished and clean.
