The Happy Place

Welcome to our Happy Place, close to everything in Sioux Falls. When you step into this house, you can't help but smile and feel the positive energy that resonates. We have turned this home into a colorful piece of art filled with an eclectic mixture of refurbished and custom, high end and one of a kind type furniture, appliances, fixtures and decor.

For your comfort, the main bedroom features a higher end, medium soft queen size Serta Icomfort Hybrid mattress. The window treatments are custom made with draperies and Hunter Douglas top down/ bottom up Roman Shades. Please note, this is a small bedroom and the walkway around the bed is between 19"-24" which is perfectly adequate to most people but may prove difficult to those with mobility issues accustomed to sleeping on the left side of the bed.

The kitchen is fully equipped and features an original, refurbished 1950's refrigerator (so expect a little cubby for a freezer) and high end dishwasher with pullout drawers and concrete counter tops.

The bathroom is completely remodeled with designer tiles and fixtures.

The dining room holds a refurbished wood top and steel dining table and matching bench that was purchased from a local furniture dealer in town. The dining table sits 4 people very comfortably and is equipped with two dining chairs and one bench. The living room displays one of a kind, custom and eclectic furniture pieces designed and created specifically for this house. The window treatments include sheer curtains and top down/bottom up honeycomb shades.

The second bedroom hosts a very comfortable twin size bed and wardrobe. There is a foldable floor mattress in one of the closets that can be used to sleep a 4th person, assuming 2 people are sharing the queen bed. Tv options included are Hulu and Netflix through your own subscriptions.
PETS: Well behaved, outside potty trained dogs welcome, $30/stay.
WSCOOTER RENTALS
We have 2 Segway Ninebot Kickscooter Max G30P Scooters available for rent upon request & based on availability. If you would like to rent them, please let me know so I can check availability and so we can make arrangements for the reservation. I will send you a money request for the rental amount. We are not liable for any accidents or injuries. They would be great to take downtown or to go check out the Falls Park or any events at the Levitt Center or even the zoo. Rentals available April-October if there is no snow on the ground.

We stayed here overnight and found The Happy Place to be conveniently located with easy access to restaurants and grocery store. Beds and couches were super comfortable, and the kitchen well equipped. Some older homes smell musty but this was not the case in The Happy Place. I was especially pleased with the neighborhood, which felt very safe. We would definitely stay again!

The Happy Place is a perfect little house. I would have actually liked to know more about the property's history. We were very comfortable there-I loved the old Philco refrigerator that is still running perfectly. Interesting artifacts to explore. The shelving gave me ideas for my own little cottage in PA. Thank you Emily!

Comfortable place with everything you would need for a short stay. Stopped here for a night between two days of long drives, and it helped refresh us and get ready to hit the road again. Dedicated driveway is very convenient, and the neighborhood is safe and great for walking dogs.

I really enjoyed my overnight stay at the Happy Place. As a single traveler it was perfect for me. Great excellent communication from the owner, and very easy check-in. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to everything you would need. The shower was great and the large bed was perfect! I had a fantastic stay at this property and might stay there again next year, if I make it to South Dakota.

Great Value Great Location

Happy Place was a good description. It was a very quaint older home with creaky floors. It was a great central location for all our visits while in Sioux Falls. Even though we didn't require much, it looked to have everything we could need. The only complaint is that the house had a musty smell like the older basement was damp.
