About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

New! Hilltop House in the Canyon

Unique. Elegant. Open. Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac nestled on the edge of a cliff, this fully renovated duplex is a perfect base for all your Black Hills adventures! This unique property is one of two surviving duplexes from the historic flood of 1972. This home was moved from it's original creekside community to the top of this hill where is has resided since 1973.

Less than 10 minutes from Rapid city center, less than 5 minutes from the Black Hills National Forest, and approximately 30 minutes to Mount Rushmore, you will be right in the heart of our beloved Black Hills.

Our large 2 bedroom, 3 bath, 1931 square foot duplex has a large open floor plan with floor to ceiling windows looking out into the beautiful Black Hills from the edge of a cliff. Upstairs are two private bedrooms. The large master bedroom is equipped with both a king size bed, a sofa pullout, a walk-in closet with stackable washer/dryer, a private balcony overlooking the cliffside, and an ensuite bathroom. The second large bedroom has a queen size bed, twin bunk beds, and a large closet. The bathroom for this space is in the hallway next to the bedroom.

On the main floor is an open floorpan kitchen with a giant granite island seating 4 people. A dining room seating 6, two sitting areas, which looks out over the hills and a large smart TV over the fireplace make this a perfect community space to relax and unwind in-between your adventures.

On the main floor is also a full bathroom and a trundle bed that has two twin beds. The main floor also walks out to a large back deck overlooking the hills.

As a disclosure, the internet works great, but cell service tends to be spotty unless you are on the front or back deck.

This was one of the coolest rentals we’ve ever stayed at!! Felt like we were close enough to town but also far out enough that we felt like we were right in the hills! Everything was as described, spacious, clean, and so beautiful! Even our teenagers loved it. Would highly recommend!
Could have sat here all day!

Perfect location, beautiful, and peaceful while still being only minutes away from grocery, restaurants, and a lovely park. Centrally located for easy day trips to everywhere from the Badlands and Custer Park to Mount Rushmore and Deadwood. The home itself is a wonderful retreat!

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood!

This was the perfect place for what we needed. It was just outside of the city where we could enjoy the peace and quiet and the beautiful scenery that the Black Hills provides. Yet it was close enough to any of the attractions and food establishments we wanted to visit! The house is lovely, and so peaceful! We hope to be back someday!

This house was central to all our South Dakota activities - Mt. Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park. We loved the backyard view in the morning, and the individual cooling units in the upstairs bedrooms made them comfortable in the summer heat.

Family Vacation

Our family could not have been happier with the accommodations and location. The neighborhood was quite and the views of nearby hills were wonderful. The house was clean and comfortable. Split air units made each bedroom very comfortable. The home was spacious and did not feel like a duplex. Would highly recommend this property.

Great Rally homebase

Stayed for 5 nights while attending the Sturgis Rally. Fantastic VRBO! Great location, spotlessly clean, ample room to spread out, very quiet neighborhood with quick access to shopping, restaurants, gas, and grocery stores. Beautiful canyon location on quiet cul de sac. Great communication from property manager. The garage was extremely useful as it rained most evenings and the bikes could be under cover. Would definitely stay here again!
