The space was cute and the host is very responsive. They were generous with paper goods in the unit which seems rare these days. The space is bright and cheerful. We found the location really good for traveling to Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse Monument, and even Devils Tower. I would recommend this house.

Check-in and-out went smoothly. Modern kitchen; well stocked. Open concept with ample and comfortable furniture. We’d prefer a more secluded/remote location with less road noise/busy street; however, it provides a central location to surrounding attractions from Devils Tower to the Badlands.

Spacious Floor Plan

The house was perfect for our family vacation to Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills. It was spotless, well-maintained, and well-stocked with all the necessities. We love the house's open floor plan, with the kitchen, dining room, and living room open to each other and plenty of seating. The house is centrally located for all the attractions we wanted to see. We will book this house for future vacations.

Fun little place close to all in Rapid City, SD.

My wife and I and our assistant coach (we are USA swim coaches) loved our stay here during our 3 day meet. The house is awesome (we were on the second floor) and has a great outdoor patio, nice mountain views and open kitchen/great room concept and even a fireplace. All the conveniences and close to anywhere you need to go in Rapid City. Beds were comfortable and had everything else we needed. Will stay here again if we swim here next year!

We've seen a lot of the world, which is exactly why we know what makes a great guest experience — the little details matter, the space should feel like home, and you should never have to wonder if your hosts care.
We do.

Why they chose this property

This central Rapid City location is one of the most convenient in the city — just a 4-minute drive to The Monument Civic Center, an 8-minute walk to Rushmore Mall, and direct interstate access for easy travel throughout the Black Hills. You're surrounded by great restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday conveniences, while still being in a quiet residential setting. Mount Rushmore is just 30 minutes away, making this the perfect home base for exploring everything South Dakota has to offer. During Sturgis Rally week, the interstate proximity makes getting around the region fast and effortless.

What makes this property unique

Most 2-bedroom rentals in Rapid City are basic — this one is anything but. A private garage entrance, a cozy fireplace, a balcony with Black Hills views, two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, and thoughtfully designed modern interiors make this home truly stand out. Add an experienced Superhost with over 8 years of 5-star hospitality, a 9.4 out of 10 rating, and a genuine passion for making every guest feel at home — and you have one of the most complete and well-loved properties in all of Rapid City.
