Blocks from city center, restaurants and nightlife, this authentic 1919 Craftsman Style Bungalow has been renovated completely with modern amenities, but retains its original character. This will be a perfect base for all of your Black Hills adventures. Contactless check-in with door codes provided prior to check-in.

Boasting original wood floors, original weighted windows, and the classic front porch swing, you will feel right at home. We love this unique space and the stories that it must hold in its walls from the last century.

Two living rooms, each equipped with a 50" smart TV, and plenty of comfortable seating. Dining area seats 6-8 comfortably.

Great place to stay in Rapid City

This was the perfect house for our family of 5. Exactly what we expected from the description. We really liked the location! Almost every night we made the short walk to downtown Rapid City. My kids really enjoyed the porch swing. The property manager was very easy to work with and get ahold of if we had any questions. We will stay here again if we come back to the area.

Nice and cozy place and good space for family. Close to downtown.

Had a wonderful stay. If you sit in the backyard in the evenings you can see deer go by. Sometimes in the front as well.

Clean and comfy

Adorable house with room for everyone. Walking distance to downtown Rapids City. Didn’t make us clean the whole house before having to leave. Although we didn’t have much to clean. I give this stay 10/10.

Perfect Place to Unwind

Charming 100 year old house with perfectly executed updates make this a wonderful place to unwind after busy days in the Black Hills. Location is quiet, across from a small commercial development with very little traffic. Walkable to downtown Rapid City and a 5 min drive to Safeway (they deliver if you’re an Instacart subscriber). Easy parking in the driveway or street. Quiet neighbors - residents on one side and VRBO on the other. 2 main floor bedrooms and a full bath as well as 2 bedrooms and a full bath in the basement. Main floor rooms are cooled with window AC units but they are powerful and a nice white noise to sleep with. All rooms also have ceiling fans. Basement was a bit stuffy and humid in the crazy summer heat but our young kids didn’t seem to mind and the owners worked hard to remedy with fans and dehumidifiers. There are both front and back porches, we didn’t use the backyard at all due to heat and summer bugs. We stayed for 3 lovely nights and would return again. We fell in love with South Dakota.

Great House!

We had a great stay in Rapid City and this house was perfect for our family. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I loved sitting out on the front porch on the hanging swing. The neighborhood felt safe and we had no concerns. Parking was a non-issue as there is space in the driveway and on the street. It was a bit of a walk to get anywhere, but the downtown was nice to stroll around. Rapid City is certainly visitor friendly. I wish we had learned the bus routes because it would have been an easy way to get around. The people at the bus depot were lovely and helpful, but we didn't find then until our second to last day. The owners of the property were very friendly and quick to respond to any concerns or questions we had. While we likely wont be returning to Rapid City again, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this rental.

Fantastic home for families or friends

The home is beautiful and immaculate. The kitchen has everything one could need for a several day stay. Lots of great restaurants and sights in walking distance, and an easy drive to many places in the Black Hills. Our three generation group had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay here again.
