Our family of 10 enjoyed the home tremendously. I would recommend for anyone wanting a central location for South Dakota National Parks and monuments. It is convenient to shopping and attractions. Our host was superb and responded promptly and gave good details.
This house was a beautiful place to stay in downtown Rapid. The house was easy to find and had great parking for our larger vehicles. Fantastic kitchen with all of the things we needed to cook a meal as well! Would definitely stay here again!
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 celebrating our daughter’s wedding in Rapid City. Our stay at The Barney House was very comfortable and was perfect for our family. The outside patio was a relaxing way to end our busy days. There was a slight misunderstanding and Cody handled the situation very well. When visiting RC we will definitely book the Barney house for our family.
This historic house was remodeled and kept up with modern needs as well. Beautifully done and in great shape. The owners provided excellent customer service abd checked in to ensure our needs were met.
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 house served as the perfect jumping-off point for out trip. It is right in the historic district and close to downtown. We were able to get to Badlands NP, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, and Mount Rushmore with ease. The house comfortably accommodated 11 people, including 2 small children. It looks like it has been redone recently; beautifully so, if that’s the case. If we have occasion to return, we will definitely try to stay here!
Beautiful house and more than accommodating for 6 people. Cody was readily available for any questions that came up. Will stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Cody Boorman
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.
