About this property

Vintage Experience - Mid Century Retro Retreat- 3 Bedroom in Central Sioux Falls

Get the authentic vintage "retro ranch" experience at the original Mid Century Retro Retreat in central Sioux Falls. You have the whole house, with a fully-equipped kitchen, laundry, bathroom, 3 private bedrooms and a den with a futon open to the living room. We're great for short or long-term stays.

You're just a few blocks away from Augustana University, Sanford Hospital, University of Sioux Falls, Midco Arena, shopping, and restaurants. Downtown and Avera Hospital is a 5-minute drive away.

The space
Vintage Mid Century is our vibe and we had a great time restoring our 1955 home to showcase some of our favorite pieces of actual atomic-era furniture and decor--along with some loving mid mod reproductions.

Our guests tell us that the vaulted post and beam ceilings and retro touches make the house both spacious and cozy at the same time. It's the perfect place to slip off your shoes and relax after a long day, 1950s style. If you want to kick back like Don Draper, we even have a cocktail shaker set ready for your "Mad Men" happy hour.

We provide Kuerig coffee and tea. If you're a coffee purist, there's a teakettle and a french press on the shelf for you to use, along with ground coffee. The house also includes a book exchange shelf and has puzzles and games for you to enjoy.

Two smart TVs are available for use with Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max or streaming from your own device. The TV in the den is on a desk and outfitted with an HDMI cord, in case you're working remotely and need another monitor.

The fully-equipped kitchen has a convection oven and is stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and essentials, like basic spices, oil, and vinegar. If you need anything that's not there, just ask and we probably can lend it to you from our kitchen. The dining area has a vintage formica/chrome table with seating for 8.

We have 2 traditional bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed, dresser and closets. Our third bedroom/groovy rec room has a twin-sized daybed and trundle bed. You can use it as a private bedroom with a sliding barn door, or enjoy the space as a quiet hangout, with a record player, card table and view of the backyard garden.

Our final bed is a full-sized futon in the office/den. This room is semi-private, with an open doorway to the living room and its own closet.

Our home has one newly remodeled bathroom with a shower/tub. You're welcome to use the washer and dryer in the hallway outside the bathroom.

We also have a shady backyard patio with plenty of seating. You've got your own place to sit and enjoy the fresh South Dakota air, plus a new park model charcoal grill. In the winter, we keep it locked in the garage, but we can roll it out if you request it anytime all year long. (We provide the grill and grill tools--you'll need to pick up your own charcoal, unless we have some left behind from previous guests.) We're working to bring the front and back gardens back to their former glory. In the summer, you're welcome to help yourself to some rhubarb from our patch or cut some flowers from our wildflower garden.

We respectfully ask you not to rent our house if you need to bring a pet or animal of any type, as we have family members with severe allergies and some vintage furniture that can't be replaced. No parties please. Smoking is okay outside the house, but please use our outdoor ashtray.

We're super serious about cleaning and have installed an iWave electronic air purifier in the HVAC system proven to reduce airborne pathogens.

Fun Decor, Super Clean!
When we pulled up to this place, we thought 'uh-oh' because it's nothing special on the outside. . . but then we walked into a remarkably fun, retro-decorated place that was absolutely spotless! The apple pie bread greeting us was quickly gobbled up - a nice touch (please send me the recipe!). Our grandkids loved playing games and the record player - along with the novelty of a trundle bed. Indeed, all of the beds were super comfortable. I would not only recommend this place, but I'd stay here again. The owner was easy to work with. I'm sure that any needs would have been sufficiently addressed, but we needed for nothing. This owner is correctly anticipating the needs of her guests - well done!

Great Value
Was worried finding a place during the State basketball would be hard, but this place is a great value. Fun little place, super clean. Nice backyard grill area, but weather turned cold on us. Host left homemade Orange Bread for us, that was delicious!

Great Stay
The retro look of the house was great and me nostalgic. Even the vibe was retro the appliances were very new. This house worked great for us for a long weekend baseball tournament. Jennifer was a wonderful host.

Great Experience!
This house was perfect for our family of 5. This was our first time renting a house and the hosts made it so easy. The house was clean and stocked with everything you might need. We enjoyed playing some of the games and our kids didn’t really want to leave. I would recommend this house to anybody and I hope we get to go back soon.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Gerrietts-Masters

Host profile image
I'm a marketing professional with a technology firm. My husband, a weatherman, and I moved to Sioux Falls "temporarily" in 1996. Two children and a couple of decades later, it's our home. We love fixer-upper houses, mid century style, gardening, camping, hiking and local breweries. We are happy to make local recommendations and can even give you a "short term forecast" if you need it.

Why they chose this property

This is not a hotel room. We love this house and want you to love it too. We've lovingly selected every piece of mid century (or mid century appropriate) furniture and have renovated it step by step since 2020, when we started hosting it as a short term rental. The home and its patio/garden are designed to be your retreat and refuge.

What makes this property unique

This house was built in 1955 and has vaulted post-beam ceilings and a funky, vintage feel. From the spacious "Mad Men"-esque living room to the pink "pin-up" bathroom to the groovy paneled rec room, everything is designed for a fun, unique stay. In the summer you can enjoy our wildflower garden and rhubarb patch. Year-round, the house is cozy and comfortable.
