About this property

DISCOUNTS FOR LONGER-TERM STAYS!

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! Conveniently located next to corner pantry, Walgreens, Starbucks, 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. House accommodates several cars in the back driveway, or large vehicle/trailer.

Two queen bedrooms & one bathroom. Backyard with patio (grill & charcoal provided) and front yard with porch swing to enjoy the warm summer months. Full kitchen and bathroom to accommodate your stay!

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 my COVID project in 2020, but now, most of my year is spent traveling or on the East side of South Dakota. The mission has shifted for this house to gift the feeling of "hygge" to other travelers like me :)

Central to all activities

This cute house of Emma's was perfect for our Black Hills getaway. We had everything we needed. The house is decorated cute and is central to everythi g in the Black Hills area. So convenient to have the little fenced in yard to let our dog out to play. Communication was fast and easy. Thanks for sharing your home!

Nice little house! Great yard!

This house met our needs perfectly. Very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Comfy beds, plenty of towels. I really appreciated the little things like nice Kleenex, toilet tissue, dish soap, paper towels, laundry detergent etc.. We loved having the front yard for our dog to play. Excellent stay and we highly recommend.

Cute place, questionable location

The house was very cute and they did a good job sprucing up the house for the condition it was in. The house is on the backside of a gas station but there’s a good concrete wall that you don’t see it. The neighborhood isn’t the most comfortable and you need to keep an eye on the neighbors dog as it was consistently barking and on the edge of jumping the fence. Although the security of the location is questionable, it is close to many attractions in rapid city.

Affordable+Location=Us

This little house was just fine for our family of 4. The 2 bedrooms had Queen sizes beds. The bathroom was adequate. I told Emma she needs new pots and pans and should consider new coffee cups too. The WiFi was glitching and Emma fixed it asap. We enjoyed our stay. The house is near everything and really affordable. The neighborhood is sketchy, but we locked the all the doors and everything was fine. I would stay here again.

Loved it!

The inside of the house was so comfy and bright and clean! The beds were high which was fine with us. We loved having a fenced in front yard for the dog. The location was perfect for us.

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!)

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.
