We had a great experience at this property and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, and the living space was comfortable and inviting. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. We also really appreciated the small touches—extra towels, toiletries, and a welcome guide with local recommendations.The location was ideal: Just a short walk from shops and restaurants. Also, well centered for most everything that South Dakota has to offer. What a beautiful state! We especially loved the outside patio to relax after a long day of adventures.Jami and Matt are outstanding—responsive, friendly, and genuinely thoughtful. Communication was seamless from start to finish, and it’s clear they truly care about their guests’ experience.This was one of the best VRBO stays we’ve ever had, Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, high-quality getaway!

Lovely apartment, great location
This apartment was very nicely furnished and a great location for getting to all the Black Hill sights. It was close to downtown Rapid City, close enough to walk which we really enjoyed. The one negative we found was that St Joseph is a busy street and there was a lot of street noise - cars, trucks, motorcycles - from early morning until late in the evening. Overnight was quiet for sleeping, so that was good. Also, there were guests in the apartment above us and we could hear them moving around if we were all there at the same time. I think that kind of goes with an older home like this. The apartment was very updated with nice furniture, a compact but functional kitchen, and a bathroom with a small shower. It was well supplied - hair dryer, towels, TP, shampoo etc. Other items included a luggage rack, iron and ironing board, coolers, hangers, vacuum cleaner. The king bed was very comfortable. The host was very helpful and communicated well, responded promptly to any questions.

Cozy Rapid City Stay
We had a lovely stay at this studio in Rapid City. The location walking distance from a number of restaurants which we enjoyed, but it was a bit noisy with traffic and trains throughout the night - most of it was blocked easily with earplugs though! The studio was very clean throughout and well appointed. Thanks for a great visit!

Comfy and convenient home base for exploring Black Hills
Comfy, cozy, nicely decorated small space to eat and sleep while exploring the Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, Devil's Tower. Close to downtown Rapid City, only 30 minutes to Mt Rushmore, and everything else within an hour. Safeway, gas, restaurants all close by. Perfect for single travelers or a couple.

Great location and perfect for couples
Very cute suite and just perfect for two. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would have liked to spend time on the patio but it was too warm outside. If I were to change one thing it woukd be the parking. However, we were able to park in front and unload so that was helpful. unour

Great little studio
Great little place. Very clean, and when we arrived, there was very inviting music being played inside. AC worked very well. Great place for a couple. The only thing I had an issue with, was the parking. It was a little confusing.
Jami checked on us a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed.
fantastic location, walkable to food & drink.
Very comfortable apartment, we made it our Hub for trips to Badlands, Custer SP. Devils Tower, Sturgis, Deadwood, Hot Springs mammoth site, Mt. Rushmore/Crazy Horse,
Would not be surprised if we stay here again. :-)
(there were a couple of "My Cousin Vinnie" moments when the 2am train wanted to blow it's whistle 4 or 5 times though lol).

Black Hills Touring
We were looking for a base from which to do trips to all of the places of interest in the Black Hills. This VRBO fit the bill admirably! We spent 7 days doing the Wildlife Loop at Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Sturgis, Deadwood and just about everything else in the area. Our VRBO in Rapid City made all of this possible. It had everything we needed and provided a lovely place to relax after a long day of sightseeing!
