Dramatic views of Rapid City, Black Hills and Ellsworth AFB throughout neighborhood
Entire property
Amazing 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom zero-entry house with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on main floor with full accessibility. The house also has a long frontage on a road with dedicated lane for street parking that will accommodate most trailers brought to town for stock show, motorcross, Sturgis Rally, etc.
We've attempted to make this house as friendly to seniors and those with challenges with steps. The path from the driveway to the front door is a gentle sloping ramp with a handrail until you reach the front door. Once inside, you'll find everything you need at ground level - kitchen, dining area, living area, laundry room, rear deck, 2 full bathrooms, and two bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts an ensuite bathroom with ADA-compliant assist handles for both the toilet and to enter/exit the shower/tub. Each of the beds are outfitted with comfortable bedding, pillows and extra blankets to accommodate most sleeping styles. We also have extra bedding and pillows. In the downstairs, we have lots of sleeping capacity for large families/groups with a massive queen-over-queen bunk bed in one bedroom and two twin over twin bunk beds with a pull out twin trundle under one.
The upper and lower living rooms have plenty of comfortable seating capacity so that large groups/families can spread out and enjoy the two 65" Smart VIZIO HDTV's that are supported by the highest speed WIFI available in the area. We've also got a full size foosball table and several board and card games and a game table to play them on.
The kitchen is fully stocked with all the popular utensils and cookware to include a crockpot, duo Keurig coffee maker with traditional coffee pot. Large initial stock of K-cups, sweeteners, and creamers to get you started before you hit the local grocery store. In the warmer months, there is a large propane grill on the backyard deck where you can grill and enjoy the amazing South Dakota sunsets over the Black Hills and the kids can enjoy the large back yard. As development continues in the subdivision, there will be additional houses built to the rear of the house, but it will also bring a walking trail that will be accessible from the gate in the back yard.

This home is proudly owned and managed by Rapid City residents. We believe in providing personal attention and a local's touch to ensure you have a wonderful experience. Be sure to enter the correct number of overnight guests in your search to help you determine which one of our lovely homes is right for you!
To ensure a comfortable and safe stay for everyone, we ask that you please observe the following rules:
Quiet hours run from 10:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m. so that everyone nearby (yourself included) gets a real night's sleep.
No Parties - We love hosting typical family/friend gatherings — shared meals, game nights, catching up, or relaxing after sightseeing — those activities are all welcome! However, parties, events, and large gatherings are not permitted. If it involves a DJ, a fog machine, a cousin yelling “WOOOOO!”, or friends of friends showing up at all hours, it is not allowed. Still considering hosting your party here? Please keep in mind that the property is monitored by exterior security cameras and our safety-conscious neighbors who help us keep the space safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone — including future guests like you.
Unauthorized visitors - To keep our insurance company happy, and for everyone's safety in the event of an emergency, the number of overnight guests may not exceed the number listed in your reservation. Any unauthorized visitors during Quiet Hours may be treated as overnight guests and result in extra charges and/or cancellation.
Animals - Due to severe owner allergies, no pets or animals of any kind are allowed on the property, inside or out. A significant sanitization fee will be charged for violations. We adore animals — our immune systems do not.
Smoking - Smoking is not allowed inside the home or anywhere on the property. The only permissible place to smoke is off the property on the sidewalk or the street. This keeps the property fresh and prevents any lingering odors from entering the home. Our couches and carpets thank you in advance for your compliance. A $500 deodorizing fee may be applied if evidence of smoking is found any nearer to the house than the sidewalk or street.
Food and Drink - Please limit eating and drinking to the kitchen and dining areas. The laminate in the kitchen was designed to clean up with ease; that area rug in the living room and that carpeting in the bedroom, not so much.
Shoes - Leave your cares and your shoes at the door. To protect the flooring, we ask that you do not wear your outside shoes inside. Dedicated inside-only shoes are permitted for those who need them.
Primary Guest: The person who makes the reservation must be staying at the property for the entire duration of the booking. We do not allow third party bookings. The primary guest will be required to sign an online rental agreement verifying that they and all the guests will be informed of and abide by these rules during the stay before access to the property will be granted.

The house was the right size for what we needed, and the different spaces easily allowed three generations of our family from six states to gather before and after a memorial service for a lost sibling. Kitchen essentials, linens, and parking met all of our needs. While we weren’t in town for sightseeing, I could see returning if that was our goal. The house is well situated being reasonably close to key shopping and restaurants but enough off the beaten path that we were away from the hustle and bustle of town.
Close to all the things in Rapid City so great location. Was great for our stay during State Basketball. We had weather issues and needed to stay an additional day, Michael was great to make that work for us!
We were in town for a softball tournament and this location and house were perfect for our group of 3 families. Literally a 4 minute drive to the complex!!
This was a great house for our visit to Rapid City. Good location, convenient to freeways to make getting around the area easier. It was very clean and as described in the photos and listing. Michael was very good and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again.
The home was perfect for our family. The kitchen was very organized and well stocked. The bedroom options are setup great for groups and families. The location has easy access to several well-visited attractions. Hope to visit again someday. Mini-Rushmore will be at the top of our list for accommodations.
This house was very nice. It's well stocked, super clean, and the location is perfect. It's nice and quiet, yet close to everything. Beds were super comfortable, great towels and bedding. I highly recommend this property!
Very nice and clean. Sleeping arrangements were great for two families with small children. Great location to sight see in every direction. Would stay again.
The property was very good for the type of stay that we were doing as a weekend getaway. Hot water was lacking when you have a lot of people staying and needing to shower.
Wonderful house. Close to all the attractions we wanted to see. Walmart is close by, which is a plus If anything was needed.
Excellent stay. Would absolutely stay again!
Centrally located for our trips to Badlands, Custer State Park, Mt Rushmore, Deadwood, Devils Tower in Wyoming.
The Needles Drive in Custer State Park was fantastic.
Great place to stay when visiting Badlands, Mt Rushmore and Custer State Park
This home worked out great for our family when visiting the main attractions in the Black Hills. Kitchen was well stocked to be able to make meals and eat there. The location was great and hosts very attentive. It worked out great that Walmart and Sam’s club are only 5 minutes away. Nice neighborhood too.

Such an awesome place to stay! The things to do at the house was spot on! We are so happy we found this place. It was clean and super nice for kids to be able to play in a safe area. We will definitely be back!
The property was immaculate. The neighborhood was very safe. They thought of absolutely everything! Honestly my favorite property we have ever stayed at for the overall layout and convenience! Already booked for our next Rapid City trip.
The house was great! We would suggest adding a queen bed downstairs that is not part of a bunk bed. It is not the best set up For 6 adults. It is difficultTo sit in the queen bunk bed as the top is bunk is low. Other than that, the house was fine!
Our experience was about as perfect as it could be. The place was clean and very comfortable. The beds were great and the kitchen had all the basics. The garage parking was also a great plus on the wetter / colder days.
The location incredibly convenient to just about everywhere we planned to visit. Anything within the Rapid City downtown area was 5-10 minutes away. A large shopping / dining area is just a couple of miles away and right next to I-90.
This home was just perfect for our two families (with a total of 7 kids!). The house is laid out wonderfully, with 2 living areas, “adult” bedrooms upstairs, and “kid” bedrooms downstairs - for us, anyway. The kitchen had everything we needed, the grill worked great, plenty of linens and bathroom supplies, giant tvs! This home was a great place to relax after full days of adventures!! Thank uou!
Do you have plans for a family trip to Rapid City? You NEED to stay here. They say homes are all about Location, Location, Location. This home is situated near everything you’ll need. Target? 3 minute drive. Walmart? 3 minute drive. The absolute coolest butcher shop? 2 minute drive. Everything you’ll need for your stay is so close. Are you curious about attractions? Mount Rushmore? Less than 45 minutes. Crazy Horse? Less than an hour. Deadwood? 45 minutes.
They have everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay like you’re just at home. We were a family of 8 and everyone had more than enough room. A massive 8 person dining room table. Huge sectional couch in front of a glorious television that will allow you to stream all of your services like you do at home. Brand new appliances to cook on. Do you want to BBQ while looking out over the beautiful South Dakota landscape? This place has you covered.
Did you forgot your cell phone charge block because you rushed out of the house and only grabbed your charger cords? Not to worry. Every single bedside table is wired with not one but two USB charging ports.
I have stayed in quite a few VRBO properties over the last few years, and this one absolutely ranks near the top of all time best properties. You won’t be sorry that you booked here. I was the family hero for picking this place!!! Thank you for hosting us!!
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024
