10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2024
We stayed here for a week in the spring, and it was a great home base to venture out daily to explore Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, The Badlands, Devil's Tower, etc. In the evening, we often walked to downtown RC restaurants and bars.
The middle class suburban neighborhood felt safe for walking. It was about a .7 mile (flat) walk to the center of downtown, which was fine for us, but some may want to drive or take Uber/Lyft; rideshare cars appeared to be available in RC when I checked.
We used the well stocked kitchen to cook breakfast daily plus a couple of dinners with groceries from the nearby Safeway. The washer and dryer in the basement allowed us to do laundry, so we were able to pack less. Wifi worked great. There is plenty of outdoor deck and porch space on three sides of the house, so you can always find a shady or sunny spot to relax. The mattresses, often a concern for us when traveling, were all comfortable and seemed pretty new. It was convenient to stop for a minute on the street out front or in the alley beside the house to unload groceries or luggage, then park under the covered (but not enclosed) area behind the house. The bedrooms are all upstairs, and the stairs are a bit tighter than some may be used to, so consider that if anyone has mobility issues.
We considered staying at one of the two main hotels in downtown RC, bit I'm glad we chose to stay here instead. The only advantage of the hotels is proximity to nightlife, but that was outweighed by all the extra indoor and outdoor room, full kitchen, laundry, easy and free parking, etc. I would be happy to stay in this house again if we made a return visit to the area. The home is clean and well stocked, and you can tell the owner put a lot of care and thought into making it guest friendly.

We loved our time spent in Rapid City! The house is charming - it is an older style, but very comfortable. The kitchen is modern and well-stocked. Centrally located to see Mnt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave NP, Devils Tower, etc.
The yard does need some attention (especially at the front). An hour with a weedwacker would make a world of difference!

Location was excellent.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2024
The home has several beds but was not accommodating to our family due to it being very dis-jointed and inefficient in the layout, if you plan on renting here are the facts:
- There are 2 upstairs portions that are completely separated from each other, guests in the bedroom above the dining area through the spiral stair case will not be able to engage others easily with others staying in the other bedrooms
- The bedroom up the spiral staircase has a very tight, small bathroom, no shower
- The other upstairs bathroom shower is a tub shower, not ergonomically efficient to get in and out of, and there is very little room to shower given the tub is narrow, so expect a mess dealing with a shower curtain
- Given the bathroom situation, this means guests have to go up and down stairs to use the downstairs bathroom to use a shower and ample space to
- The basement is unfinished, dirty floor, but does provide a convenient washer and dryer, have to wear shoes
- The kitchen outlets tripped when using the Keurig which make the can lights not operate, had to reset the outlets
- Outside areas were also dis-jointed making them less usable
- The house is in good walking distance to Black Hills Bagels and less than a mile downtown, a good plus
- Summary - you're staying in an older home with clearly rental company band-aid fixes, could use a serious remodel; okay, but has challenges
