About this property

Modern meets cozy - minutes from downtown.

Welcome to Josh and Christie's cozy house. Built in 1929, this updated house still holds its vintage charm. This was our first house together and holds many memories for us - we hope it can be a home away from home as you explore SD.
Located just 4 blocks from downtown, this main-level apartment is perfect for accessing all Rapid City has to offer or hopping on highway 16 and heading into the hills. Won't you come to visit us?
Are we booked? Check out our other space "Cozy Apartment minutes from Downtown."

The space
Our little home is so cozy. Our apartment is perfect for your stay. With free wifi, AppleTV, and a central location, it’s a great place to call home while you’re in the Black Hills. Get out and explore, relax and watch some TV, or enjoy grilling and laying on the hammock in the back yard. You can also easily walk downtown and explore Rapid City.

Access to the house is the alley in the rear. Parking is limited but you have your own space. Head out to the front of the house to follow the sidewalk and walk downtown.

Other things to note
Parking is free and available but limited to 1 space.

We use a smart lock for check-in. We will set up a unique code for you.

We rent out the basement as a separate unit as well, but you have your own private space. Only Laundry and the backyard are shared.

Amazing!

This house was adorable and just as described! Perfect location for everything we needed to do plus an easy drive to Mount Rushmore and the Black Hill sites. Highly recommend Black Hills Bagles that is right across the street! Josh was super responsive with anything we had (only had 1 question and he answered me back in minutes). Check in and check out could not have been easier, making these tired travels very happy! We would definitely stay again!

Our only regret was not staying here longer!

We really enjoyed this place. It’s a very nice little house that provided us a great place to stay while we were in Rapid City to see family. It was very clean and the host was very quick to respond to any questions or needs we had during our stay.

Disliked: Location

The host was really nice and accommodating - also had some nice extras as far as coffee, drinks and toiletries. Very nice sheets and comfy couch. If you’re a light sleeper, however, you might have trouble with the busy street outside. It wasn’t time for Sturgis but the loud cars, motorcycles and car stereos made it hard to sleep. The 2nd night we took NyQuil and slept ok.

Perfect home base for sight seeing!

We visited National Parks and other sites in the area and enjoyed staying in this cozy house. It was an easy walk to downtown for food and drinks in the evening. The owners clearly take good care of their property and they paid such attention to detail with the offered amenities like extra drinks, coffee, snacks, and local business recommendations.

Great Location near downtown

Will you really enjoyed our stay at your place. Everything was as described very comfortable. I especially liked the wide open living room and dining room area. When I realized it was right on Mt Rushmore Road, I worried about the noise of the road, but the house is set back off the street and we heard nothing at all - that was great. I was a little nervous

Comfortable and Walkable

My husband and I and our lab mix Jonesy had a very comfortable stay! It was great to come home after a big day and curl up on the couch and then head for a good nights sleep. We were able to easily walk to restaurants and coffee and enjoyed walking around the historic neighborhood. It was a great home base for us while we explored the Black Hills.

Baby’s first roadtrip!

To celebrate our 5 year anniversary and our baby’s first roadtrip we wanted to stay in a home to give out little one the most comfortable experience possible. Soft and clean carpet for crawling practice, a quiet and dark room for our little one to sleep while we played games in the living room. Such a great place and we can’t wait to come back and explore the area even more.

Great home base for Black Hills.

Everything was as described and we enjoyed our stay. Would recommend to anyone traveling that wanted a break from hotel rooms and dining out. We spent our days hiking Mt. Rushmore and Crazy House and drove out to Deadwood and Spearfish Canyon. Picked up supplies at nearby Safeway and Black Hills Bagels and ate in after long days out. Thanks for reading and happy traveling!

Lovely house

All went smoothly, everything needed was available (don't expect to be able to cook a 5 course menu though 😉). Looks like the pictures show, fantastic patio. Be aware that you have to walk down a short stair and along a small path from the parking. Not an issue, just a note in case you have heavy luggage. Thanks Josh, we really enjoyed the time here!

Labor Day Weekend Get-a-way

Charming bungalow in the heart of Rapid City. Great location for access to Rushmore, Storybook Island, Bear Country, Reptile Gardens and the like. Easy access in and out. Property is well suited to a small family or couple. Dog friendly with access to fenced backyard, shared with basement guests (own separate unit). We enjoyed the interior layout - pet and child friendly without any worries with decor. Small kitchen perfect for meals or snacks. Hosts communicated timely and well.

Quaint and comfortable

Wonderful little place with optional seperate or connected property for optional additional guests if your party is larger. We only occupied the cozy space upstairs and the back yard, which is contained for pets but plenty open to enjoy the scenery and wonderful weather. We will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Joshua Harris

Hi! I'm Josh! My wife, Christie, and I manage this property. We love Rapid City and living in the black hills. We are both artists in our own ways. I (Josh) and a graphic designer and I love to read, travel, brew coffee, run and go out to eat.

Why they chose this property

This was Christie and I's first home purchased together. We love this house and made so many memories here. It was small but cozy and we enjoyed living here, close to downtown and it will always be a special place for us. We recently moved about 5 blocks away to make room for a little bigger family, but aren't too far because we just love the location and being close to downtown.
