Beautiful, clean home with a spacious kitchen. Plenty of seating areas for family to gather and relax. Hosts were friendly and communicative. Our whole family enjoyed the Castle.
Wow - loved this place! Kitchen had everything! Living room was the space to relax and read while the downstairs was for gaming and movies. Patio for lounging and laughing by the fire and also watching the wildlife. Exceeded all expectations!!
The location was perfect for all the activities we had planned. We had 5 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of space, the kids loved the games and space outdide. We barbequed and spent every night outside. This is a perfect family place!
Wonderful place to stay! So close to so many popular attractions in the Black Hills including things to do for children of all ages⊠the owners were wonderful to work with , they responded quickly if we had any questionsâŠthe home was clean as can be and very spacious and well stocked with everything our families needed! Highly recommended!
We had such a great time at the castle! It's a great location for all the sites! The kids (2,3,5&6) had SO much fun! They said the best part was the castle!
Is a great castle with plenty of room for 11 adults with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoor patio and enjoy the evenings outside. All in all great experience.
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!!!
We spent our family vacation week here with ages 10-79. Weâve 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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
Everything was phenomenal! The trip, scenery, wildlife, location, activities, house, Rich!!! It was a sibling-vacation and it was PERFECT!!!!! 5-stars isnât enough!
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.
Beautiful home, excellent proximity to many attractions. Clean & comfortable. This home has it all! We loved staying at the castle and will again our next visit!
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.
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!
