Lg Family Suite 3 king br & 3 bath; MAX 6 ppl. 1-3 bsmt br extra fee, pls ask
I'd be happy to host your group. I appreciate you taking a couple of minutes to read. I bought a fixer upper in 2006 and set the house up as a DUPLEX with SEPARATE entrances & SEPARATE door codes. I started my bed and breakfast in my home in 2006 to supplement my income while raising my son alone. We've enjoyed seeing same guests year after year as well as meeting new ones yearly. My home improvements do keep me quite busy. Oh, the joy :) My house is a DUPLEX; which means 2 totally SEPARATE APARTMENTS with SEPARATE ENTRANCES. The ENTIRE MAIN FLOOR 3 BR/3 BATH is the guest area! I live in the SEPARATE basement apartment with a SEPARATE entrance ; which is an additional 4 bedrooms & 2 baths. **Sometimes I have a quiet roommate staying with me in my private SEPARATE apartment. Once in awhile I have a friend or family member(s) staying with me while they are visiting the area. It is rare that anyone but me is in my SEPARATE apartment with me. I'm just being thorough & full disclosure so there are no surprises for guests. I've learned the guest stay is smoother when the potential guest understands how my place is set up:) **Tourist season is only about 6 months so I do have personal belongings, pictures, and knick knacks, etc upstairs in the duplex. An example would be the washroom closet is full of my cleaning supplies:) 3 King bedrooms, 3 bathrooms 1,500 sq ft main floor apartment (in duplex) with full kitchen (with dishes/utensils, 1 set pots and pans provided) and laundry; extra spot in the garage to park your vehicle; towels, and bedding provided. PLUS an additional 1,500 sq ft gaming area which include: 6 person spa, 8 ft slate pool table, soft tip dart board (pls bring your own darts), ping pong table; foosball; front porch and back patio with gas grill and gas fire pit to enjoy the evenings. The home has central air, Peacock & regular tv channels, Wi-Fi, dining room seating for 8 and kitchen seating for 6. I do check central air, which is upstairs (the part of duplex you reserve), every few days to make sure guests are comfortable and that central air is working properly. The unit cools the home best if the bedroom & bathroom doors are left open all day while you are gone. I appreciate you leaving the thermostat on 70 all year since it controls the heating and cooling for whole home. If thermostat is set below 70 degrees during summer months, it'll be subject to freezing up and then it quits working for days and gets extremely hot in home!!! The small blue bathroom floor vent (at minimum) needs to be left OPEN during the day while you are gone & at night when you are sleeping since it is directly above the furnace otherwise there is NO chance of keeping home cool when it's 80+ degrees out in the summer. There are plenty of extra blankets and fans for your personalized comfort. *** Extremely important if ANY questions or concerns to call/ text me immediately (day or night) so your concerns can be addressed while you are still here!!!! I can’t fix or clarify anything if I’m not aware of it and/or once you have checked out. Thank you:) **Sorry I cannot accept pets due to allergies. *** The 1-3 bedrooms and 1-2 baths in basement may be available for an ADDitional cost; IF I am out of town since VRBO does NOT allow homes with shared living space. (Photos BR #4, #5 & #6 & Baths #4 & #5) Message me for details, pics, further clarification. *** **** No illegal drugs may be brought anywhere on property**** *I live in the basement of the home/duplex.* (See Above) Call or message me if you'd like ANY clarification on the property OR amenities BEFORE you book!! If you want to stay at a newer, secluded log home in the woods with a breathtaking view, my place is probably not suitable for you. If you want to stay at a homey place in Rapid City that a self made individual started with hard work and determination my place may work fine for your group. :) ***Hot tub is a 1996 so I can’t guarantee it’ll be working but I’ll do my best. Hot tubs are electrical so if you confirm it's working when you book; 60 seconds later a pump, board, heater, sensor, etc could go out. I do my best to get tech over asap when a part goes out but I never know how many days out techs are booking repairs or if techs have to order parts & wait for parts to come in. Thank you for understanding. ***RING doorbell at front door. Records few seconds when you approach door & when you are going in/out the door. ***PLEASE check with your cell phone provider and make sure that you'll have cell service in South Dakota. PLEASE make sure you have my address and phone number written down on paper, just in case. ***** CHECK IN !!! Pls text/call my cell # when you are an hour out & 5 minutes so I can meet you at my plc & show you around & explain where to park !!!!! I've learned it's a lot easier to explain parking when you are physically at the property, depending on how many vehicles you have & any special circumstances like trailers, etc. I’d be happy to host your group. Thx!!!

Thank you for all the positive remarks. It sure makes me feel happy when guests are happy. I’m sorry I fat fingered your review and touched 1 5 star item and then it showed I ended it when I didn’t mean to and the app doesn’t let me correct it. Your group was so quiet, clean and respectful and I appreciate your business. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. I’m sorry you had to leave early🙏
Pool table was a huge hit with the teens. Decor is charming and host was VERY accommodating with schedule adjustment due to last minute ER visit. Definitely will recommend and hopefully stay again

This space worked great for our family. It was convenient to get to area attractions and very clean and comfortable. The pool table was a great addition. There were plenty of spaces for our group of five to spread out. It was easy to communicate with host.

It was great to host your group. I appreciate your busines. Can you please tell me what areas you weren’t happy in why you gave me the four stars? I can’t change anything if I don’t know. I’m just feeling quite confused because you told me your group was very comfortable at my place 🧡
Fantastic place to stay. Comfy beds, close to everything we wanted to do and a very clean place. This is literally the best provisioned VRBO we have ever stayed at. The host is very friendly and informative of the area.

I was in town for a family emergency and stayed for three days with my family. The host was very kind and helpful during our stay. The house was fully equipped with more amenities than normal which made our stay very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this host and her house to anyone, and plan to visit again if ever required!

Le Ke's Lodge was perfect for our group's reunions and showing off SD's wonderful sites. Less than 10 minutes to SD Mines, easy access to downtown, I-90, and Mt Rushmore and the Black Hills! Not to mention keeping our young grnadkids busy with pool table, table tennis, and hottub. We thoroughly enjoyed our home away from home stay!

Response from VrboOwner on 20 May 2025
James, I feel very disappointed that you would write older home and give me four stars. I wrote in my description that it is an older home. For that reason, I feel like that is a very unfair review. If you read the description, you knew that before you came, but yet chose to still book. Yes, a lot of us can only afford older homes. Esp on 1 income
About the host
Hosted by LaRay Donley
I love meeting new people and sharing my love and knowledge of the beautiful Black Hills. I started my bed and breakfast as a 2nd job to supplement my income while raising my son alone. Now he's over 18 yrs old so I'd like to have more guests and be able to continue hosting great groups & sharing my extra space/apt. We've been very happy hosting guests since 2006. After living in Rapid City since 1998 we still have not done and seen everything the beautiful Black Hills has to offer.
Why they chose this property
This was a fixer upper and I loved the location, in between interstate and downtown where there's shopping, restaurants and night life. I have been blessed to have repeat guests every year as well as new guests. I have been blessed to host so many great families/people . I’ve had many amazing neighbors over the years. The bike path runs in front of my home.
What makes this property unique
My spacious house is just in a good location off a major road & near interstate in Rapid City to be able to get to all the tourist destinations the Black Hills has to offer and back in a day. There are also a lot of restaurants nearby. My place is also less than a mile to the Monument/Civic Center where events & concerts are held all year. All King beds & gaming area are nice extras, too:)
