About this property
PET-FRIENDLY / COZY / DOWNTOWN RAPID
Built in 1947 and located in Central Rapid City, this home has a Hygge charm that will make it perfect for your stay in the Black Hills. This house became a pandemic project in 2020, but now, most of my year is spent traveling or on the East side of South Dakota. My mission is for this home to give the gift of "hygge" to other travelers like me :)
The house is on the main road that takes you up to Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, Custer, and Crazy Horse - and I have great local tips to take you off the tourist-beaten path in my guest book! Conveniently located next to corner pantry, Walgreens, Scooters, and other shops within short walking distance.
Downtown is a 5-minute drive away. Mount Rushmore is approximately a 20-minute drive from the house and other tourist attractions in the hills nearby. The house accommodates several cars in the back driveway, or a large vehicle w/ trailer.
Two queen bedrooms & one bathroom w/ tub and shower. The living room has a couch if you have 5 guests. Backyard with patio (grill & charcoal provided) and front yard with porch swing to enjoy the warm summer months. A full kitchen with essential cooking items and modern appliances to enjoy, plus a washer & dryer for complimentary guest use.
DISCOUNT FOR LONGER STAYS - DM FOR INFO.

About the host
Hosted by Emma Bennett

This is the perfect space for your getaway to the Black Hills/Rapid City.
My personal favorite outdoor summer activities around the area include hiking, paddle boarding, horseback riding, jet skiing, and trail running. Pactola, Custer, Sheridan Lake are a must! Sturgis of course in August and local towns host street dances and concerts weekly!
During the winter months, I enjoy more indoor/outdoor activities here like dining downtown rapid, snowmobiling, wine, and beer tasting, ice skating, and shopping local. Historic Deadwood is a must, visit Chubby Chipmunk chocolates for some of the best truffles (and if you can't make them up to Deadwood you'll find them at the Alex Johnson!)

Pets are "hygge" - as long as you pick up after them! Fenced front yard and a huge backyard to enjoy. Private driveway & parking space up to 4 cars, and parking lots nearby.

What makes this property unique
I bought the house this year and still working on finishing it up. It was built in 1947 and has a homey charm that will make it perfect for your stay in the Black Hills. Dogs welcome if potty trained!
Conveniently located next to corner pantry, Walgreens, Starbucks, and other shops within walking distance. Downtown is a 5-minute drive away. Mount Rushmore is approximately a 20-minute drive from the house and other tourist attractions in the hills nearby. The house is 5 minutes from Downtown RC and right on the road that takes you up to Mt. Rushmore, and I have great local tips to take you off the tourist-beaten path!
Two bedrooms - one with a king bed, one with a queen. The living room has a couch, that unfortunately does not pull out, but will fit a person. There is also a double air mattress, and a single trundle bed so there are many options to sleep.
ONE BATHROOM - with tub and shower, toilet, medicine cabinet, etc. It is an old house - so the bathroom is very small but has all your essentials. Just something to be wary of if your group is larger than 3-4 people.
