About this property

Charming Centennial Cottage-Downtown!

Blocks from downtown, restaurants & night life, this quaint, turn-of-the-century cottage 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.

Our classic, craftsman home built in 1908 is renovated with modern amenities, but boasts early 1900s character. We love this unique space and the history & stories it must have to tell within its walls. Contactless checkin with door code provided day of checkin.

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 in living room & 3rd bedroom.

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. Home owners and hosts.

We really appreciate your supporting our small business!

The communication with the host was incredible, probably the best we’ve ever had via a rental. The host knew we were coming in late and even left the light on’ for us which at 11pm was much appreciated. Kitchen was stocked with extras, great WiFi, comfortable bed, and lots of charm!

Very cute and clean cottage, with a huge fenced-in yard close to downtown shops and restaurants. Comfortable furnishings, and the decor was fabulous - a lot of attention to detail. The morning bells from the church of across the street added to the quaint atmosphere. The property manager was responsive and answer all questions very quickly. When back in town, we will 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 loved bringing this old home 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!
