Peter is a great host! He was very flexible about arrival and departure times. We were able to arrive any time between 10A and 10P, and we met him right at the attached restaurant where Peter is the chef. My husband and I came during the lunchtime rush, so we had to wait about 15 minutes for Peter to escape the kitchen to give us the keys and a quick house tour. But I am not complaining at all! During that time, he had the waitstaff lead us into the restaurant's beer garden and serve us good German beers on the house. Not a bad way to start vacation!

The bungalow is very clean and cozy. The kitchen and bathroom have been remodeled recently and look gorgeous. I would like them in my own home! The queen bed is firm but comfortable, and the leather futon in the living room makes a decent second bed.

The place is on a very busy street corner though and the windows on one side of the building open directly into the German restaurant's beer garden. I recommend keeping the curtains to the beer garden closed at ALL times. You can hear chatter and noise from the restaurant at lunchtime and dinnertime, but the noise seems to end early. By the time we arrived back from our own dinner, around 8:30p, we did not notice any more noise. With the lunchtime noise, it might not be a great place for families with young kids on a nap schedule, but for my husband and me, it was great. We hope to stay here again the next time we're in SD!
