The house was close to downtown as well as a short drive to Mt. Rushmore and other local attractions. The house is well cared for and very clean. The hosts were very helpful and responsive to all inquiries!

Your crew was truly a joy to meet. The best part about this home is that it easily accommodates multiple couples traveling together or larger families, with all the amenities that you could ask for. We are so honored to be able to be a part of such wonderful memories. Thank you for choosing us.
We had a wonderful stay in Rapid City. The house is beautiful and was very comfortable. Jami quickly responded to any questions and provided great suggestions for our stay. Additionally, the house is centrally located close to restaurants, shops, the City of Presidents monuments, and is only 30-45 minutes from Custer State Park, the Black Hills, and Badlands National Park. We highly recommend it!

We enjoyed a great family vacation at this property. Easy walking distance to many bars and restaurants. Beautiful property. And by far, the best property host. She checked on us almost daily to ensure we had everything we needed.

We loved this house! The location was great for walking to downtown Rapid City! The rooms were all very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay again! It was wonderful to have a large, updated kitchen to host Thanksgiving in with my grandfather, mother, husband and children.

We love this home because it can accommodate large groups and families with room to spare. The kitchen and living room are very spacious. No expense was spared in the kitchen as it has a gourmet coffee maker that makes the most amazing coffee. We are always happy to assist with any amenities in the homes. We are so happy that you had a great stay. Please come again!
Great house that was everything it was advertised to be. Clean, newly remodeled and located right next to downtown so we could walk to the restaurants and the Monument, where we attended a concert. Would recommend.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND a stay at this lovely home. We have rented VRBO properties for years and this is our favorite of all time. Up to date, clean and just feels like home. Everyone just loved it. There is plenty of space, walkable to downtown Rapid City and the perfect spot for day trips to tourist spots in the area. AND THE HOSTS ARE AMAZING PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY ATTENTIVE.

We work hard to accommodate the needs of our guests and be gracious hosts. There are so many wonderful sights to see in the Black Hills and we enjoy providing the perfect and relaxing space to come home to. We hope that you come again!
The owners did a great job with this house. The location of the home is within walking distance to downtown restaurants. The only negative is street noise. Overall it’s a great place.

This home was fabulously clean, decorated, and stocked!! We would definitely stay here again… my only complaint is we may have to purchase one of those coffee makers for home now … lol
My husband absolutely loved it!!
Back yard area was a great spot for my daily devotion! Close to many attractions…

We take pride in the fact that our homes are "fabulously clean, decorated and stocked". That is one of the best compliments that we could get because we work hard to provide the best guest experience possible. And.... yes... we went over the top on the extraordinary built-in coffee maker in the home. It does provide a life changing experience when it comes to coffee. We would love to have you again! Thank you kindly!
We rented this house as a place to relax after a full week of biking on the Mickelson Trail and hiking in the Black Hills. We wanted to kick back in a comfortable place close to the amenities Rapid City has to offer. It exceeded our expectations on every count. Clean, spacious, very beautifully decorated, great outdoor living room and great proximity to restaurants and shops. The owners are responsive and fun to meet. We absolutely loved this place !

We love to exceed expectations as our vacation properties along with meeting our guests bring us pride and joy! We work hard to provide a "clean, spacious, and beautiful home" in addition to going above and beyond with an "outdoor living room". We are so pleased that you felt at home because that is our ultimate goal. We hope that you come visit us again.
This property is very nice and we will be staying there again if we are in the area. The property is in a great location. Everything was very clean. The only thing that I have to say that I would change is I would put ceilings fans upstairs. It gets a little warm up there at night. Even though there is an ac unit in the master and fans in the other two bedrooms. Thanks again for letting us stay in your beautiful house.

Thank you so much for your 10/10 rating. We really appreciate it!
There were 6 of us ranging in age from 16 to 82 and we had a great time, plenty of room to spread out. Only downside is if you are a light sleeper, it is on a major roadway and near train tracks. We easily traveled the Black Hills area, Deadwood, Custer, Rushmore, Hill City, Keystone and Badlands areas from this location.

This home is very spacious and is perfect for the larger family or big traveling group. The home is perfectly located in downtown Rapid City, allowing guests to access all areas of the beautiful Black Hills. We do hope that you come again as there is plenty to see.
We were very happy with our stay. The property was in great condition and was just like the online photos. We were in town for a family wedding and some sightseeing and the location was very convenient to the church (a happy coincidence) and to restaurants, as well as the nearby tourist sites. We had a great time sitting outside in the sun one afternoon on the comfortable outdoor sofa.
My sister will be returning to Rapid City to visit her daughter (the bride) and has already said this is where she wants to stay on those visits because the house was so nice.

We take a lot of pride in providing remodeled, updated homes with all of the items that you would need while traveling, right down to a casserole dish if you are inspired to make that egg bake for the family. But we also take pride in our outdoor spaces too, because the Black Hills is such a beautiful place to visit. We work hard to make our homes part of that beauty. Thank you so much for choosing us!
The house was very clean and beautiful. I love the old house new remodel! The furnishing were very nice and the kitchen was well supplied. There is a lot of street noise for the bedrooms on that side of the house and we had some trouble with people parking where we were supposed to. All and all a very nice home and great location to memorial park.

This spacious home is wonderful for families, and we make sure that every surface is clean, modern and comfortable. The private parking lot for guests is a bonus as well, especially since the home is so close to downtown and parking is sometimes hard to come by. Thank you so much. We hope to see you again!
Very nice house....high quality.....excellent location....tv/cable operating instructions were confusing and frustrating...coffee maker was space age but needed an astronaut to operate it
This was one of the nicest vacation rental properties we’ve ever stayed at. The home was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the owner provided ample paper products. The location was a great home base for our SD sightseeing. The only drawback is that it is on a busy road and the traffic can be a bit noisy. But we loved that we could walk to the downtown restaurants and shops. We loved the modern kitchen with the huge island and built-in coffee maker. The patio was also fantastic for relaxing with a book under the beautiful shade tree surrounded by a privacy fence.

About the host
Hosted by Jami Berger
Matt and I love to travel, and we seek luxury, comfort, and convenience wherever we go. With our vacation rentals, our goal is to offer every guest a truly luxurious experience. We make sure our properties are cozy, well-equipped, and have everything needed to feel like a home away from home.
Why they chose this property
The “Village at St. Joseph” offers five renovated homes perfect for families or groups of friends, giving guests the chance to stay close together while still enjoying private spaces. The Village features a variety of accommodations, including a home with a two-bedroom and one-bedroom apartment plus a studio, along with three additional one-bedroom homes. An outdoor commons area brings everyone together to enjoy the scenery and make lasting memories.
Located downtown, the homes are within walking distance of favorite breweries, coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques. They’re also close to M-Hill and Skyline Recreational Park, great for a quick hike or mountain bike ride. With easy access to Rapid City’s main intersections, I-90, and Mt. Rushmore, the location is hard to beat. You’ll often find me, Jami, around the homes adding personal touches to make guests feel welcome, as well as tending to the landscaping, which I enhance with new beauty each year.
What makes this property unique
We spared no expense on this remodel, and our glowing reviews reflect the comfort, cleanliness, and exceptional guest service we provide. Each home offers free parking, Wi-Fi, and a convenient self-check-in system with a secure door access code.
