The space
Vintage Mid Century is our vibe and we had a great time restoring our 1955 home to showcase some of our favorite pieces of actual atomic-era furniture and decor--along with some loving mid mod reproductions.

Our guests tell us that the vaulted post and beam ceilings and retro touches make the house both spacious and cozy at the same time. It's the perfect place to slip off your shoes and relax after a long day, 1950s style. If you want to kick back like Don Draper, we even have a cocktail shaker set ready for your "Mad Men" happy hour.

We provide Kuerig coffee and tea. If you're a coffee purist, there's a teakettle and a french press on the shelf for you to use, along with ground coffee. The house also includes a book exchange shelf and has puzzles and games for you to enjoy.

Two smart TVs are available for use with Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Prime Video or streaming from your own device. The TV in the den is on a desk and outfitted with an HDMI cord, in case you're working remotely and need another monitor.

The fully-equipped kitchen has a convection oven and is stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and essentials, like basic spices, oil, and vinegar. If you need anything that's not there, just ask and we probably can lend it to you from our kitchen. The dining area has a vintage formica/chrome table with seating for 8.

We have 2 traditional bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed, dresser and closets. Our third bedroom/groovy rec room has a twin-sized daybed and trundle bed. You can use it as a private bedroom with a sliding barn door, or enjoy the space as a quiet hangout, with a record player, card table and view of the backyard garden.

Our final bed is a full-sized futon in the office/den. This room is semi-private, with an open doorway to the living room and its own closet.

Our home has one newly remodeled bathroom with a shower/tub. You're welcome to use the washer and dryer in the hallway outside the bathroom.

We also have a shady backyard patio with plenty of seating. You've got your own place to sit and enjoy the fresh South Dakota air, plus a new park model charcoal grill. In the winter, we keep it locked in the garage, but we can roll it out if you request it anytime all year long. (We provide the grill and grill tools--you'll need to pick up your own charcoal, unless we have some left behind from previous guests.) We're working to bring the front and back gardens back to their former glory. In the summer, you're welcome to help yourself to some rhubarb from our patch or cut some flowers from our wildflower garden.

We respectfully ask you not to rent our house if you need to bring a pet or animal of any type, as we have family members with severe allergies and some vintage furniture that can't be replaced. No parties please. Smoking is okay outside the house, but please use our outdoor ashtray.

We're super serious about cleaning and have installed an iWave electronic air purifier in the HVAC system proven to reduce airborne pathogens.
