Great location, walking distance to downtown. The house was clean and updated while still having charm. There was plenty of seating to host Christmas dinner. We enjoyed our stay.
We had a wonderful time at the Barney House. It is in a great location with easy access to highways. The house accommodated our large group and was well maintained with a nice yard and patio. The hosts were great at staying in touch and responsive.
This is the second time my family has stayed at this wonderful property this year. We love the location and the great communication with Cody but are in love with this historic home!
Cody has been prompt with all texts and questions and I have no problem recommending a stay here!
We enjoyed this property very much. It fit all of our needs, the host was attentive and quick to respond to our requests. It was conveniently located to downtown and restaurants. The kitchen had all updated appliances. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Rapid City.
This house is absolutely wonderful! The hosts were easy to work with and really helpful. The home is walking distance to all of the downtown attractions and restaurants. Registered with the Historical Society and up-to-date with modern amenities and comforts... the perfect mix!
Our 2 families totaling 4 adults and 6 kids enjoyed our stay at the Barney House. This home has modern renovations in a historically classic home, great kitchen, 2 washers and dryers, dining table for ten, nice back yard for playing, grill, outdoor seating.
What a beautiful home. I would use the words, spacious, comfortable, and yet it felt modern. As a builder, I know how hard it is to make an older home look good.
This was a charming home with modern amenities. I would stay there again and again. Thank you for the hospitality and allowing us to have a comfortable home away from home.
We had a last minute trip to see family in Rapid City. We had three generations staying at the home. The house was the perfect size for our group and provided a nice gathering space for our other family members to visit for lunch, dinner and just hanging out to catch up. The kids were entertained with the games and foosball. The mudroom worked out great considering it snowed the first two days. It was just what we needed.
this property was easy to find with great parking in a nice quiet neighborhood. our family gathered from california, colorado and texas and we had a great time. the house has so much character and room and all of the beds were superb. the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and everything was sparkling clean. we will surely try to stay here when we make another trek this way!

🎶 I love you, you love me--We love the Barney House in R.C.! 🎶 😊
We loved our stay in the Barney House--I was born and raised in Rapid and have since moved away, but I bring my family to visit almost every summer. This year, we were needing a place to stay to come celebrate my mother's 90th birthday. The Barney fulfilled all of our needs; it is a beautifully restored historic property with modern amenities and lots of available sleeping arrangements. All amenities listed are accurate & in immaculate condition. The hosts have done a great job updating the property while maintaining its integrity. Communication with the hosts was seamless. Great location, close to downtown, & offers a unique way to enjoy all Rapid has to offer. Great backyard: grill, seating, yard games, etc. Thanks to the hosts for helping us discover Rapid in a new way.
Cute, well maintained home. No major issues and great communication from the host, Cody. Convenient location as well. Tips for guests: bring toilet paper and if planning to sleep on couches, they aren’t great for that. We had 16 total people (7 kids) so we knew we wouldn’t have enough bed space so we brought air mats for 2 of them and 2 slept on the couches but they just weren’t ideal for that. Beds aren’t super comfortable (memory foam I think but quite firm) but did the job. Bring your own pillows if you don’t like fluffy pillows. Overall it was a great home with modern decor mixed with classic and the water heater accommodated the many showers we’d all take in the evenings! I would recommend this home for your adventurous trip to Rapid City and the Black Hills!
After a visit in 2020, our entire family fell in love with the black hills area. From our initial crew of 4, we now have over 30 family members that have moved here as well! We want people to be able to experience the same sense of awe we had when we first visited and would be thrilled to host you and your group of family/friends.
