Charming Centennial Cottage-Downtown!

Blocks from downtown, restaurants & night life, this quaint, turn-of-the-century cottage is a great home base for your adventures in the Black Hills! Enjoy the classic sounds of church bells and echos of live music from downtown from the front porch or as you grill in the fenced in back yard.

Our classic, craftsman home built in 1908 is renovated with modern amenities, but boasts early 1900s character. We love this unique space and the history & stories it must have to tell within its walls. Contactless checkin with door code provided day of checkin.

This designated vacation rental is equipped with everything you need, along with a community cabinet with some cooking essentials if you choose to use shared items. New stainless appliances, gas range stove, full size laundry, and all new linens on new memory foam mattresses. Large smart TV to stream favorite programs along with a plethora of local channels will satisfy down time in living room & 3rd bedroom.

Within 30 minutes of Mount Rushmore, Keystone, Hill City, & less than an hour from Custer State Park, Badlands, Deadwood, Wind/Jewel Cave, Hot Springs and Wall Drug, your adventures are sure to keep you quite busy! Hikes around Pactola and Sheridan Lake are also just a short drive away.

As locals of the Black Hills, we are delighted to share our favorite things to experience, depending on your interests. We have a long history of serving guests in the hospitality industry and have loved branching out in this new industry. Home owners and hosts.

We really appreciate your supporting our small business!

The communication with the host was incredible, probably the best we’ve ever had via a rental. The host knew we were coming in late and even left the light on’ for us which at 11pm was much appreciated. Kitchen was stocked with extras, great WiFi, comfortable bed, and lots of charm!

Very cute and clean cottage, with a huge fenced-in yard close to downtown shops and restaurants. Comfortable furnishings, and the decor was fabulous - a lot of attention to detail. The morning bells from the church of across the street added to the quaint atmosphere. The property manager was responsive and answer all questions very quickly. When back in town, we will definitely stay here again.

The property was in a not so nice neighborhood. Junky neighbors and unkept homes. The house lacks maintenance on the exterior. We didn't feel like we could walk the neighborhood. The interior was clean. Beds were comfy.

Cute little house close to downtown Rapid city. It only took us 30 minutes to get to Mt. Rushmore and 40 minutes to Custard State Park. House was clean and we were allowed to check in early. Great communication with the Host. For fellow Catholics, there is a Catholic Church across the steet!

The perfect cottage!

This was the perfect place to stay for us. It was centrally located, allowing us to visit all of the sites that were on our bucket list. Everything was provided. The cottage was built in 1908 and beautifully updated. It was a pure pleasure to stay there!

Felt Right at Home

The house is very cozy and stylishly decorated. It is in a quiet neighborhood that is close to amenities. The owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with. The location was a good central point for me to visit Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore, crazy horse and devil’s tower.
