Downtown Carriage House
Located in the heart of downtown, this restored 1907 carriage house offers a unique historic stay. Perfect walking distance to numerous restaurants, coffee cafes, specialty shops, and hiking (Skyline Wilderness). Minutes drive from SDSM&T, Monument Health, the Civic Center, and Mt Rushmore Road the gateway to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park and more!
We’ve preserved much of it's original character, including the structure, layout, floors, and select doors that reflect its past. As a result, guests may notice vintage features and an older feel that add to its charm and authenticity. The carriage house renovation was a labor of love to blend modern amenities with the original 1907 carriage house character. It provides the perfect landing pad for all your Black Hills adventuring.
It's a single level 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bathroom house with a loft area. The primary bedroom has a queen sized bed, Tv, and en suite full bathroom. The 2nd bedroom offers 2 full sized beds with TV.
***PLEASE NOTE: The loft area is accessed via sliding library ladder. Climbing is done at your own risk. Please lock wheels and only climb barefoot.
The parking spot to the right of the house is a tight squeeze. There is a light post on the left and neighboring fence on the right that make getting in and out tricky especially for larger vehicles. There is ample free street parking on 11th street that faces the cottage house***
The chef's kitchen is open concept and fully equipped with HexClad cookware, baking sheets, utensils, dishes - everything to make your own meals at home. A Keurig coffee machine greets you in the morning with plenty of coffee pods and creamer. If you prefer going out for coffee simply take a stroll downtown to Harriet and Oak for an amazing espresso.
The beautiful living room doubles as a conversation area or cozy movie night setting. The TV uses Roku which allows you to log into your accounts and stream your favorite shows.
The loft provides a great getaway for kids and adults alike. With two reading chairs, a desk, games, and toys this might be your favorite part of the cottage.
The outdoor area is completely fenced in with a relaxing fire table.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an ironing board, and a desk.
