Chace has a lovely property centrally located to all the highlights in the area. His VRBO is well stocked with amenities. As a senior, the bed upstairs was a bit old and slanted to the center. However, being so tired after each days activity , I fell asleep quite quickly.

The house was roomy and very up to date. The upstairs was perfect for three teenagers to sleep and hang out. The kitchen was very well stocked with plates, pans, and appliances. The living room was very comfortable for five people to relax and watch TV together, although there was a separate TV upstairs. We appreciated being able to park our car in the garage. The location was central to going to the major tourist places and yet easy to get downtown Rapid City. The kids enjoyed the park near by which is easy to walk to from the house. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions I had. It was a perfect place for us to stay for five days. Thank you!!

About the host

Hosted by chace nelson

Host profile image

Catering to people visiting the black hills and rapid city is something iv been doing for a long time. I love helping people get the most out of their vacation and think this location is one of the best! Ask me anything! I’ll help make your stay prefect.

Why they chose this property

Location is the best thing about my home. so many things within waking distance and for a home base to the black hills it doesn't get more central. Iv taken amazing care of my house over the years and pride myself in a great clean home. Also, the garage is a huge plus. Keep the motorcycles or cars out of the hail which does happen once in a while. play a game of pool, cook on the gas grill or just sit on the deck and enjoy a drink.

What makes this property unique

the layout allows for great privacy as the rooms are on separate floors with their own bathroom and tv/sitting area. the upstairs bedroom has a balcony deck that connects with the lower deck in the back yard. I also have a great game room. And of course, location location location
