About this property

Eclectic Bungalow in the Heart of the City

Hosted personally by owners who live 10 minutes away. Blocks from city center, restaurants & night life, this cheerful, turn of the century bungalow is a great home base for your adventures in the Black Hills! One level living with laundry room in the back room. Contactless checkin with door code provided before checkin.

Our classic 1-story brick home built in 1904 boasts original craftsmanship, but has been recently renovated with modern amenities. We love this unique space and the history & stories it must have to tell within its walls.

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.

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! We are always available if you need anything :)

We really appreciate your supporting our small business!

Great location and nice house

The house was centrally located to many places we visited. It was also close to downtown Rapid City so we could walk to dinner and shops. It was a comfortable house for us (two couples) and we enjoyed staying there.

Cute house in a great location

We had a great time in our stay in this very cute house. The listing info is very accurate and it met all our needs. It is indeed cute and eclectic :-). The main bedroom has an en suite bathroom, and the second bathroom is small and at the back of the house off the laundry room, but this setup was perfectly fine for the teen who was with us. The Wifi worked well (important for us!) and the house was very comfortable overall. The location in Rapid City was great, easy walking distance to the main center of the town to go to restaurants and check out the sculptures of presidents. Rapid City itself is well situated for access to Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, and Jewel Cave Monument, all of which we enjoyed on our trip. The hosts were easy to communicate with and responsive, and even left us a (very welcome) basket of snacks to enjoy when we arrived. All in all a great stay.

Great place

The house is downtown in an old neighborhood but it’s very quiet. We enjoyed sitting out on the front porch in the evening. It was the perfect place to go to all the sights in the Black Hills. Very easy to get around Rapid City.

Perfect Landing

This house, on a quiet street just a few blocks from downtown, was the perfect jumping off point for touring the Badlands, Black Hills and Custer State Park. We loved the front porch and sat out there each evening before walking to dinner. The house was clean and comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Tai Dornfeld

Host profile image
Wife of an wonderful husband & mom to 2 beautiful children first and foremost. As a native to the Black Hills, I love this area and love sharing unique experiences and history of the area. My husband and I have been in the hospitality industry over 40 years combined. We have worked in motels, hotels, private properties, and multiple catering services, serving guests of all stature and in all different ways, both nationally and internationally. We love the industry and learning how to provide the best experience. We love bringing these old homes back to life and take pride in doing the renovation and decorating all on our own :)

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. In the heart of downtown Rapid City, you can walk to Main Street Square events, like Movie Under the Stars, Weekly Concerts, and events or dine on the rooftop of the historical Alex Johnson while enjoying a sunset. Head straight out of town and be at Mount Rushmore in 20 minutes or enjoy a day exploring Keystone. This is a great central location to many Black Hills activities!
