With a state nickname of The Mount Rushmore State, it’s pretty obvious what the number one vacation rental site in South Dakota is….but there’s so much more to this natural state!
 
The Eastern land of South Dakota is full of low hills and glacial lakes, while most of the western lands are comprised of natural hills, rolling plains, deep canyons, and butte country. And, of course, South Dakota is world renwowned for its Black Hills – low scenic mountains rich in various minerals and a thriving wildlife population. It’s not uncommon to spot a big elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, or mule deer during your South Dakota vacation rental. And you might even catch a record walleye, carp, pike, bass or even a pre-historic American paddlefish if you’re fishing in the Missouri river on your South Dakota vacation rental!
 
With so much natural beauty in abundance, it’s no wonder that a South Dakota vacation rental offers so much to do! Lead, South Dakota is great for its ski resorts, nearby Spearfish Canyon to go rock climbing, and the George S. Mickelson Trail for free hiking, riding bicycles, and horseback riding. Lead is also home to the Homestake Mine – it was once the deepest and largest coal mine in the nation. Aberdeen, South Dakota has the Richmond Lake recreation area and provides great backdrop for boating, fishing, and lake swimming. And, finally, Great Bear Recreation Park in Sioux Falls has skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and a free summertime light and sound show commemorating the history of the town.
 
The Mount Rushmore state even has some historical landmarks to check out on your South Dakota vacation rental – the state is home to the Crazy Horse Memorial, portions of the Lewis and Clark Historical Trail, and the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site – the site is home to a decommissioned nuclear missile silo. Rapid City, South Dakota even expanded their contribution to South Dakota’s history to include the entire city –Parade of Presidents is made up of life-size statues of all the past Presidents of the United States on their city street corners!
 
So trek up to South Dakota! Whether you’re soaking in the largest naturally heated indoor pool in the world, touring the Corn Palace in Mitchell, or visiting with all the other motorcycle enthusiasts in Sturgis, your South Dakota vacation rental will be one that you will never forget!
