We are honored that you chose us again. Thank you so much!
The apartment, the location, and the host were seriously TOP TIER!! Like perfection. The only negative is that the upstairs guest was very noisy. That said, I would stay here again without a doubt!!

This studio apartment is the perfect retreat after exploring beautiful Rapid City and the Black Hills because it has everything that we could think of to make our guests feel at home and comfortable. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us, and we hope that you come again!
This historic studio apartment is hard not to enjoy as it is located in the heart of downtown Rapid City, within walking distance of the shops, restaurants, wineries and breweries. The home is also located near the entrance to the major intersections and highways to the sights in the beautiful Black Hills. We hope that you were able to take it all in as there is plenty to see and then come back and relax in the home. Please come again!
Comfy and convenient home base for exploring Black Hills
Comfy, cozy, nicely decorated small space to eat and sleep while exploring the Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, Devil's Tower. Close to downtown Rapid City, only 30 minutes to Mt Rushmore, and everything else within an hour. Safeway, gas, restaurants all close by. Perfect for single travelers or a couple.

We are so happy that you loved this studio apartment. Its kitchenette with a small kitchen table and king size bed makes all the difference to make it feel like a small home away from home. Plus, it is close to downtown Rapid City and all that the Black Hills has to offer. We hope that you join us again in the future.
This was the perfect stay for what I needed. The bed is beyond comfortable and the area is very quiet. I loved walking up to the house through the little courtyard and was greeted nearly every morning by a sweet little bunny :) Would highly recommend this little gem to anyone staying in the Rapid City area.

We work very hard to maintain our "Super Host" rating because we feel that our guests are very special and deserve the best experience possible. Thank you for your comments and making it all feel worth it!
We had a lovely stay at this studio in Rapid City. The location walking distance from a number of restaurants which we enjoyed, but it was a bit noisy with traffic and trains throughout the night - most of it was blocked easily with earplugs though! The studio was very clean throughout and well appointed. Thanks for a great visit!

About the host
Hosted by Jami Berger
Matt and I have a passion for travel, and we appreciate luxury, comfort, and convenience wherever we go. With our vacation rentals, our aim is to offer every guest a memorable and indulgent stay. We make sure our properties are cozy, well-equipped, and provide all the essentials for that perfect home-away-from-home experience.
Why they chose this property
The “Village at St. Joseph” offers five beautifully renovated homes designed to suit families or groups of friends, giving guests the chance to stay close together while still enjoying their own private spaces. Next to this studio apartment is a three-bedroom home, with a two-bedroom apartment upstairs and a one-bedroom apartment in the same complex. Three more one-bedroom homes are also available in the Village. An inviting outdoor commons area brings everyone together to enjoy the scenery and make lasting memories.
Located downtown, the homes are just a short walk to favorite local breweries, coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques. Guests can also easily reach M-Hill and Skyline Recreational Park for hiking or mountain biking, perfect for a quick workout. The location offers direct access to Rapid City’s main intersections, as well as convenient routes to I-90 and Mt. Rushmore.
I’m often around the homes, as I love personally cleaning them and adding thoughtful touches to make guests feel welcome. I also enjoy working outdoors, spending time each year enhancing the property’s landscaping with new beauty.
What makes this property unique
Our reviews say it all—we’re dedicated to giving guests the best experience possible. We work hard to offer stylish, comfortable homes that are always clean and fully stocked with everything you might need. Plus, enjoy free private parking, Wi-Fi, and easy self-check-in with a secure door code.
