This pet-friendly home is a couple of blocks from the main downtown area where there are several restaurants and shops. The dogs were very comfortable in the fenced yard after a day of hiking and exploring the Black Hills area. Be advised that the neighbors are close and also have dogs-so we had to ‘shush’ our dogs a couple of times. The front porch has was clean and cute and the inside of the house was thoughtfully decorated for the fall season which gave it a cozy and homey feel. We cooked all of our breakfasts here and several dinners and had everything that we needed. While here, we explored Custer state park, (highly recommend!) Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and we took two great hikes here in Rapid City too-Buzzards Loop and Stratabowl. Both of those local trails were dog friendly and lovely. Overall, it was a great stay.
