This was a great place where we spent 4 nights. We loved the proximity to downtown where there was lots of restaurants and shopping and events at the Main Street Square. The house was perfect for our family with plenty of space. It is such a charming house with all the modern amenities you could need. There were a couple great areas outside to hang out and where we enjoyed morning coffee. Overall perfect stay!

Great location in Rapid City

We enjoyed the location of this house very much. It was convenient to downtown and local trails and also well situated for seeing sites to the east and west. The layout of the house was quirky, though spacious. We would stay here again.

Easter Stay

We had a lovely stay at this property! The kitchen was well stocked for us to prepare our Easter meal. We enjoyed the historicalness of the home and neighborhood! We had our two dogs with us as well and the fenced yard was perfect! The weather was beautiful and we were able to enjoy the outdoor furniture also! Would definitely stay at this property again on our return visits to Rapid City!

Wonderful Historic home

This is a fantastic home in an extremely convenient part of Western South Dakota. While staying here we visited Devils Tower in Wyoming all the way to Rushmore and Custer State Park and the Badlands. All of these were short day trips from our home base in this historic house. We prepared most of our evening meals in this well appointed kitchen. We particularly enjoyed the vintage way this house is decorated. All in all an A+ to this VRBO

Great place!

We loved our time spent in Rapid City! The house is charming - it is an older style, but very comfortable. The kitchen is modern and well-stocked. Centrally located to see Mnt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave NP, Devils Tower, etc.The yard does need some attention (especially at the front). An hour with a weedwacker would make a world of difference!

Black Hills Charmer

This home has a truly historical feel, yet is warm, still providing everything you need! Plenty of space for a family of 8 to enjoy a comfortable vacation. Kitchen comes stocked with all you need to create your meals, including a decent sized crock pot, which I consider essential! Small bar seating, along with large and small dining tables provide multiple areas for enjoying meals. Spacious living areas are beautifully furnished with VERY comfortable sofas. WiFi worked perfectly our entire stay. Bedrooms are cozy and furnished comfortably to get a good nights sleep after a day of fun exploration! Two full bathrooms with plush towels. Claw foot tubs are truly lovely, but overflow valve is too low to enjoy a good soak. We enjoyed the outdoor areas immensely, with morning tea and scones and evening swings eating ice cream. Full deck, along with patio area, provides more space for eating or just enjoying the wonderful weather. Lawn games, including cornhole, Yahtzee, Farkle and Tic Tac Toe were a big hit outside. Street parking is abundant and convenient. Covered parking space is provided, but located on side/back so better to perhaps use overnight. We parked on the street generally. Home is conveniently located between major attractions like The Badlands, Custer State Park and Spearfish Canyon. Downtown Rapid City is just a few short minutes away. Grocery stores are close and Black Hills Bagels is right around the corner.

Great home base to explore The Badlands, Black Hills, etc.

We stayed here for a week in the spring, and it was a great home base to venture out daily to explore Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, The Badlands, Devil's Tower, etc. In the evening, we often walked to downtown RC restaurants and bars. The middle class suburban neighborhood felt safe for walking. It was about a .7 mile (flat) walk to the center of downtown, which was fine for us, but some may want to drive or take Uber/Lyft; rideshare cars appeared to be available in RC when I checked. We used the well stocked kitchen to cook breakfast daily plus a couple of dinners with groceries from the nearby Safeway. The washer and dryer in the basement allowed us to do laundry, so we were able to pack less. Wifi worked great. There is plenty of outdoor deck and porch space on three sides of the house, so you can always find a shady or sunny spot to relax. The mattresses, often a concern for us when traveling, were all comfortable and seemed pretty new. It was convenient to stop for a minute on the street out front or in the alley beside the house to unload groceries or luggage, then park under the covered (but not enclosed) area behind the house. The bedrooms are all upstairs, and the stairs are a bit tighter than some may be used to, so consider that if anyone has mobility issues. We considered staying at one of the two main hotels in downtown RC, bit I'm glad we chose to stay here instead. The only advantage of the hotels is proximity to nightlife, but that was outweighed by all the extra indoor and outdoor room, full kitchen, laundry, easy and free parking, etc. I would be happy to stay in this house again if we made a return visit to the area. The home is clean and well stocked, and you can tell the owner put a lot of care and thought into making it guest friendly.

This is a great house. It was perfect for my son's and I. The house was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and it was a great location. The house was very cozy yet roomy enough for us to have our personal space. The check in and out process was very simple. It was a great location for a walk downtown Rapid City or a day at the various monuments and National parks.

Our group of six had a wonderful stay and found the property very spacious, with plenty of room and bathrooms to comfortably accommodate everyone. The Pros: The house is very roomy and features very comfortable beds, an abundance of fresh towels, and a fully stocked kitchen with every item you could need. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is centrally located to many local attractions. The Cons: The only minor downsides were related to temperature and bathroom showers. The upstairs bedrooms stayed a bit warm, and lowering the AC made the downstairs very cold while the upstairs remained warm. Additionally, only two of the three bathrooms have showers. The third features a beautiful, historic clawfoot tub; while it looks pretty, it is a bit impractical for daily use as there is no shelf space to keep your shampoo and soaps handy.

Great Vacation

We enjoyed staying in this historic home. We walked to restaurants and the bagel shop. We took day trips to visit the Black Hills and national parks/monuments. We cooked dinner at the house each night. It was well-stocked with what we needed. We ate dinner on the deck most nights. Would recommend!

Thank you for this space. We loved the charm and especially how everyone could spread out inside and out side. The separation of sleeping arrangements were perfect for our family. The fenced in yard with games was a perfect spot for morning coffee and our furry family to spread out!

We loved spacious historic home with modern amenities and homey feel situated in Rapid City's historic distric just off of downtown. Great for our 6 year old daughter near dinosaur park, and our dog with nice venced backyard deck and patio area. We enjoyed both Rapid City and then used it as a jumping off point for day trips to the black hills atteactions. Highly reccomend for famil vacations to Rapid City Vlack Hills area! We loved it!

Awesome location in rapid city. Clean safe neighborhood

It was a great location. Comfortable stay. Really cool house and really clean. All the amenities needed. (Wish there was a hairdryer- I forgot to ask and forgot to mention it- but that would be a big perk). Especially loved that there were non toxic laundry supplies. It was close to everything and we loved it. Would stay again if we visit the area.
