About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

PET-FRIENDLY / COZY / DOWNTOWN RAPID

Built in 1947 and located in Central Rapid City, this home has a Hygge charm that will make it perfect for your stay in the Black Hills. This house became a pandemic project in 2020, but now, most of my year is spent traveling or on the East side of South Dakota. My mission is for this home to give the gift of "hygge" to other travelers like me :)

The house is on the main road that takes you up to Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, Custer, and Crazy Horse - and I have great local tips to take you off the tourist-beaten path in my guest book! Conveniently located next to corner pantry, Walgreens, Scooters, and other shops within short walking distance.

Downtown is a 5-minute drive away. Mount Rushmore is approximately a 20-minute drive from the house and other tourist attractions in the hills nearby. The house accommodates several cars in the back driveway, or a large vehicle w/ trailer.

Two queen bedrooms & one bathroom w/ tub and shower. The living room has a couch if you have 5 guests. Backyard with patio (grill & charcoal provided) and front yard with porch swing to enjoy the warm summer months. A full kitchen with essential cooking items and modern appliances to enjoy, plus a washer & dryer for complimentary guest use.

This was a wonderful house (clean & pretty) but I have to give it four stars instead of five because it was impossible to adjust the temperature so I was hot all night. To be fair, I didn’t reach out to the host because it was late at night by the time we were going to bed. The next morning she said she could control it with her phone. So, I’d stay here again but would make sure I figured that out before bedtime.

Great stay

Our impression was it was clean all amenties needed to stay and a quiet neighborhood. We saw Badlands, Custer Park, Mt. Rushmore, Sturgis, Deadwood, Stearfish and much more. A lot to do and see. If you like Chinese, we ate at Golden Phoenix, which was great!!! Emma was great in her responses to us!!!!

Great house for Rapid City area

A very cute, well maintained house in a great location. Very close to downtown, and quick access out to Rushmore, Keystone, Custer, the airport, anywhere you want to be. Very comfortable beds. The living room is great and a big kitchen. I cannot recommend this highly enough. This was our first VRBO experience and was fantastic

Would NOT recommend

Let’s start with the positive. Location, location, location. There was plenty to do and most things were fairly close. The property was definitely clean. To the point of smelling like bleach when we walked in. But that’s probably because of the standing puddles of water still on the floors that I had to clean up to avoid slipping. So I’m obviously done with the positive. Now to the reasons I would NOT recommend this property. We mostly travel using VRBO. This is by far our worst experience to date. The host was completely unreachable and uncommunicative until we contacted VRBO directly and they were threatened with fees reversal. When we arrived nearly 3 hours after our scheduled check in time people were still there, inside the house. I was told they were cleaning still so we had to wait outside for them to finish. That was my first attempt at contacting the owner with no response. The porch steps were completely overgrown with weeds, we were unsure how to lock the door to secure the property so we could get dinner. Again tried to contact the owner and this time the secondary contact with no response. Once VRBO finally got them to respond and the closest thing we got to an apology for the lack of communication was an I’m sorry BUT. Which is no apology really. They were far more interested in making excuses than in making anything right. Their solution was to CANCEL our stay. Then make more excuses when we declined.

Rapid City

The house was not ready when we arrived. No bed linens until I washed them, they were in the washer. After driving 9 hours I had to do laundry and make beds. Owner kept adjusting the thermostat, when we left for the day and came back she had turned it up remotely, so we came back to a hot house. The fenced in front yard was not accessible due to new sidewalks being put in, lots of construction noise and city workers working on putting the fence back up. Young man showed up to mow and weed eat back yard, he only did half and left. 5-6 packages were delivered that we had to bring in and find room for. Amazon delivery’s always get the dogs wound up…the deliveries should have been sent to owners home so she could deal with them. Overall I felt like it was a “working” vacation. The home was very nice and conveniently located and had many extras such as bubble baths, soaking salts, coffee, laundry soap…. We managed but would have rather not been disturbed with daily deliveries, laundry, front yard construction, mowing, and temperature control.

Nice place to stay.

Owner should communicate with renters letting them know in advance when they will receive instruction on how to get in the day of arrival. Previous renters didn't clean up after dogs and yard was full of trash. Thermostat was difficult to operate. Overall nice place to stay and would recommend to others wanting to stay there.

Central to all activities

This cute house of Emma's was perfect for our Black Hills getaway. We had everything we needed. The house is decorated cute and is central to everythi g in the Black Hills area.

This house met our needs perfectly. Very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Comfy beds, plenty of towels. I really appreciated the little things like nice Kleenex, toilet tissue, dish soap, paper towels, laundry detergent etc.. We loved having the front yard for our dog to play. Excellent stay and we highly recommend.

Cute place, questionable location

The house was very cute and they did a good job sprucing up the house for the condition it was in. The house is on the backside of a gas station but there’s a good concrete wall that you don’t see it. The neighborhood isn’t the most comfortable and you need to keep an eye on the neighbors dog as it was consistently barking and on the edge of jumping the fence. Although the security of the location is questionable, it is close to many attractions in rapid city.

Affordable+Location=Us

This little house was just fine for our family of 4. The 2 bedrooms had Queen sizes beds. The bathroom was adequate. I told Emma she needs new pots and pans and should consider new coffee cups too. The WiFi was glitching and Emma fixed it asap. We enjoyed our stay. The house is near everything and really affordable. The neighborhood is sketchy, but we locked the all the doors and everything was fine. I would stay here again.
