About this property

Eclectic Bungalow in the Heart of the City

Hosted personally by owners who live 10 minutes away. Blocks from city center, restaurants & night life, this cheerful, turn of the century bungalow is a great home base for your adventures in the Black Hills! Enjoy the classic sounds of church bells and echos of live music from downtown from the front porch or as you grill in the fenced in back yard. One level living with laundry room in the back room. Contactless checkin with door code provided before checkin.

Our classic 1-story brick home built in 1904 boasts original craftsmanship, but has been recently renovated with modern amenities. We love this unique space and the history & stories it must have to tell within its walls.

This designated vacation rental is equipped with everything you need, along with a community cabinet with some cooking essentials if you choose to use shared items. New stainless appliances, gas range stove, full size laundry, and all new linens on new memory foam mattresses. Large smart TV to stream favorite programs along with a plethora of local channels will satisfy down time.

Within 30 minutes of Mount Rushmore, Keystone, Hill City, & less than an hour from Custer State Park, Badlands, Deadwood, Wind/Jewel Cave, Hot Springs and Wall Drug, your adventures are sure to keep you quite busy! Hikes around Pactola and Sheridan Lake are also just a short drive away.

As locals of the Black Hills, we are delighted to share our favorite things to experience, depending on your interests. We have a long history of serving guests in the hospitality industry and have loved branching out in this new industry! We are always available if you need anything :)

We really appreciate your supporting our small business!

Great location in Rapid City

The property is very clean and was perfect for our visit. It's a great location for enjoying downtown restaurants and bars but also close to attractions like Mt Rushmore and Custer State Park. The process for checking in and out was very seamless and convenient. We'd definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Tai Dornfeld

Host profile image

Wife of an wonderful husband & mom to 2 beautiful children first and foremost. As a native to the Black Hills, I love this area and love sharing unique experiences and history of the area. My husband and I have been in the hospitality industry over 40 years combined. We have worked in motels, hotels, private properties, and multiple catering services, serving guests of all stature and in all different ways, both nationally and internationally. We love the industry and learning how to provide the best experience. We love bringing these old homes back to life and take pride in doing the renovation and decorating all on our own :)

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. In the heart of downtown Rapid City, you can walk to Main Street Square events, like Movie Under the Stars, Weekly Concerts, and events or dine on the rooftop of the historical Alex Johnson while enjoying a sunset. Head straight out of town and be at Mount Rushmore in 20 minutes or enjoy a day exploring Keystone. This is a great central location to many Black Hills activities!
