About this property

Black Hills Gateway #CIMISC26-0010

Welcome to your peaceful Black Hills launchpad. Tucked away on the highly desirable west side of Rapid City, our home is nestled in the quiet, pine-fringed Chapel Valley neighborhood - just 10 minutes away from downtown Rapid & behind serene Canyon Lake and right in the foothills.

**Brand New Listing (May, 2026): We just opened our doors, hence little to no reviews. You get the unique opportunity to be among our very first guests to enjoy pristine, freshly styled spaces. With that said, we own another townhouse under the same roof & we've had that location & managed it for 5 years on VRBO. In 5 years we've amassed a perfect 5 star review scores on VRBO in South Dakota, so we're not rookies :-)

Since there's SO much to see & do, we actually have you covered where you don't need to do any research on the region. Since my wife is from Rapid & her family still resides there, we know the area very well & as a result, we've created a very comprehensive, 13-page online guidebook for our guests!

Traveling with an extended family or a larger group? This townhouse is a sister property to another beautiful unit in the exact same complex! Book both to stay close to your group while enjoying your separate spaces.

Whether you are sipping morning coffee on the patio, exploring nearby Canyon Lake Park, or heading out for a day trip to Mount Rushmore, this home offers a serene retreat to return to each evening.

Main Level
Features a living area with windows that frame the surrounding pine trees and a large dining table. Relax on the comfortable seating, stream your favorite shows, or cook in the fully equipped kitchen.

Upper Level (sleeps 4)
You'll find a large, beautiful King Bedroom, a charming Queen Bedroom, and a full bathroom on this level.

Lower Level (sleeps 4)
Perfect for a young family or a group wanting their own space, the lower level operates as a massive, private suite. It features a second King Bed, a set of Bunk Beds, and its own full bathroom.

Outdoor Living
Step outside to soak in the crisp air and smell of pine trees. You may see turkeys or deer roaming around the nearby. It's also a very good spot for stargazing.

Neighborhood & Location
Chapel Valley is widely considered one of Rapid City's hidden gems. It offers a distinct, quiet mountain-neighborhood feel, yet keeps you incredibly close to everything.
- Nature: Walking distance or a short drive to Canyon Lake Park, nearby hiking trails or Rapid Creek.
- Conveniences: Just a 10-minute drive to the vibrant shops, local breweries, and dining in downtown Rapid City.

We really enjoyed our stay at this place in a quiet and convenient neighborhood. The location was excellent for exploring both the Black Hills and the Badlands. The host was great at communicating with us and went out of their way to welcome us to the place with an excellent guide for exploring the area. Thank you!

Jonathan & family were fantastic guests. They replied swiftly, friendly & respectful. They also left our town home in great condition, too. I’d highly recommend them to any host, anywhere!

Tiana & family were fantastic guests! They were responsive, respectful & an absolute pleasure overall. We’d love to have them return like an Australian boomerang & have other future hosts not to hesitate into welcoming them into their own VRBO :)

Our family had a great stay at the house and the accommodations were very nice. There was plenty of room for the five of us. The house was in a nice area of the city and near a great park. The owner was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. They even provided a guide book of helpful information about the area. We would definitely stay there again.

This condo exceeded all of our expectations! It is a beautifully remodeled three-story condo that is spotless, spacious, and very comfortable. It had everything our family needed and was the perfect location for exploring Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Keystone, Hill City, and all of the Black Hills attractions.The owner is truly one of the best hosts we’ve ever had. Within minutes of booking several weeks before our trip, they personally called to welcome us, answer all of our questions, explain the check-in process, and provide helpful information about the condo and the area. Their communication was exceptional from start to finish—they were friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared that we had a wonderful stay.It’s rare to find a property this nice paired with such outstanding hospitality. Our family gives this condo and its owner the highest possible recommendation. We would not hesitate to stay here again and will gladly recommend it to family and friends.
