We had a wonderful time celebrating our daughter’s wedding in Rapid City. Our stay at The Barney House was very comfortable and was perfect for our family. The outside patio was a relaxing way to end our busy days. There was a slight misunderstanding and Cody handled the situation very well. When visiting RC we will definitely book the Barney house for our family.

This house served as the perfect jumping-off point for out trip. It is right in the historic district and close to downtown. We were able to get to Badlands NP, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, and Mount Rushmore with ease. The house comfortably accommodated 11 people, including 2 small children. It looks like it has been redone recently; beautifully so, if that’s the case. If we have occasion to return, we will definitely try to stay here!

Perfect home for our multi-generation family

🎶 I love you, you love me--We love the Barney House in R.C.! 🎶 😊

We loved our stay in the Barney House--I was born and raised in Rapid and have since moved away, but I bring my family to visit almost every summer. This year, we were needing a place to stay to come celebrate my mother's 90th birthday. The Barney fulfilled all of our needs; it is a beautifully restored historic property with modern amenities and lots of available sleeping arrangements. All amenities listed are accurate & in immaculate condition. The hosts have done a great job updating the property while maintaining its integrity. Communication with the hosts was seamless. Great location, close to downtown, & offers a unique way to enjoy all Rapid has to offer. Great backyard: grill, seating, yard games, etc. Thanks to the hosts for helping us discover Rapid in a new way.
