If you're looking to fill your appetite we're a short drive or bike ride to Marco's Pizza, Culver's, Qdoba, Jimmy John's or BWW to name a few. Otherwise stock up at Safeway or Family Fare which is about a mile away to cook those home cooked meals.

We loved staying here. There was plenty of room in the open kitchen/dining/living area and we commented on that a lot. The kitchen was stocked and easy to use. Check in and use of the locks were very easy and straightforward. Everything worked well and the communication with hosts was easy. They were responsive and open. Finally, it was very quiet. We all slept well and enjoyed ourselves a lot.

My bridal party and I rented this home to use to get ready for my wedding. The property manager was very accommodating with this and we had enough space for the 6 of us to get ready and for my stylist to do hair/makeup. My photographer got excellent photos in the backyard as it is truly beautiful. The neighborhood was nice and quiet which is what we were looking for. I adored my stay at this home.

Perfect Home Base for Exploring Rapid City and the Black Hills!

Our recent stay in Rapid City, South Dakota, was amazing thanks to this wonderful Vrbo rental. The property exceeded our expectations in every way and made our trip incredibly enjoyable. Location: The rental is ideally situated in a quiet, safe neighborhood just minutes from downtown Rapid City. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated, offering a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The living space was spacious, and the kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances, which made preparing meals a breeze. We especially loved the comfortable beds and the high-quality linens provided. Our host was incredibly responsive and helpful from the moment we booked. They provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out and even offered great local tips and recommendations. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. This Vrbo rental was the perfect home base for our Rapid City adventure.

Perfect for state tournament weekend

We decided to go with a house vs hotel for the state tournament weekend and it was definitely the right choice. Great location, only a 5-10 drive to The Monument and close to downtown with wonderful restaurants. We had two families stay which worked out perfect. We each had our own space yet comfortable living spaces to visit, play games and create memories. Hosts were great and VERY quick to respond to questions. 5⭐️

Great Choice!

This cozy house worked wonderfully for us (two 60+ couples.) We couldn’t have asked for a better location as our base to sightsee the surrounding Rapid City areas. The cute house was spotless inside and out, with plenty of room to spread out. The only slight issue was the sink in the main bathroom was very slow to drain. We would highly recommend Cozy Home Away From Home!

Exactly as pictured & convenient location!

We stayed here for a Black Hills vacation and this home was perfect for our family. It's cute, great set-up for kids, and was easy to get to restaurants, Mt. Rushmore, Custer, or north to Spearfish, etc. We loved that there were five separate sleeping spaces. The basement was a fun hang-out area with a newer bathroom & separate bedroom space. It was nice that the hosts provided a few "extras" like popcorn, cold water in the wine fridge, and some condiments in the fridge. We would stay here again.

Comfortable - great location

Our stay was excellent. The house was great for what we were looking for. Great for two couples with separate bedrooms on main floor and in basement. Very clean. Great proximity to downtown Rapid City, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Bear Country, Sturgis, Deadwood and the Badlands. Great restaurants. My only recommendation would be a mattress topper to the bed on main floor end of hall on right. It was a little firm but there are plenty of beds and some people prefer firm so not a big deal. We would definitely stay here again. Homeowners were attentive and available for our questions. Thanks again! We loved our trip and thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Nice 4 bedroom house in Rapid City

We stayed here with our family of 5 to do all of the tourist things in South Dakota (Rushmore, Badlands, etc). Rapid City is a great hub to get to all these places, and this house was a very nice place to stay. Property was clean, owners were very accommodating. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were overall pretty comfortable as rentals go. They had a working gas grill which was nice, we grilled out several nights during our stay. Cornhole boards which the kids enjoyed. Only a couple of minor drawbacks. The A/C unit for the house is really not big enough to cool the house down during the warmest part of the day, we couldn't get it below 78 degrees until about 8 PM, which was a little tricky since we were trying to put our youngest kids to bed at that time and the house was still pretty warm. Also, some individual mini bar soaps and shampoos for the bathrooms would be a nice touch. Overall a very good rental property and we would definitely stay here again if in the area.
