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.

Cute, comfortable, convenient

There is so much to do and see in the black hills & this house was the perfect central location for us & our dogs to see everything but still have access to stores & even food delivery when we were too lazy to cook. The kitchen had all the tools we needed to make our morning breakfasts & dinners. The house is exactly like the pictures & was so comfy to come “home” to after a daily hike. Thank you!

Beautiful House on South St.

Beautiful little house that's bigger than it looks. Very nice! The privacy fence around the backyard was so nice for the dog's and BBQ. Will definitely want to rent your house again in the future. The Napier Family

Quaint, clean house; easy location; helpful host

We were rarely at the house, but it met our needs. The host was communicative and prompt with replies. I asked if a specific kitchen small appliance was available and she brought it over before we arrived. (Thank you again!) Everything I needed for cooking was there in the kitchen. Other thoughtful touches included a surge strip in the living room for a charging station and detergent for the washer. The beds were comfortable. The window ac units provided lots of white noise. The only thing we heard from outside were the church bells ringing at 7 a.m. Monday & Wednesday. (Monday they rang for a long time; Wednesday was much shorter.) We'd stay here again! Thanks for a great visit! The location was perfect for day trips to the Badlands NP, Spearfish Canyon, Custer State Park, and Mt. Rushmore.

Perfect cottage “home base.”

This lovely little cottage was clean, welcoming and well maintained. Our hosts replied promptly to any questions we had. It was so nice to come “home” to it after a day spent exploring nearby parks and monuments.

Fabulous!

This was a perfect location for our weekend stay, during the black hills stock show! It was central to the majority of our agenda! Everyone slept well all three nights and it was nice to have a place to unwind inbetween our weekend adventures! Everything was easily found/accessible in the home and ready for use! Thanks for the easy accommodations!

About the host

Hosted by Tai Dornfeld

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 loved bringing this old home 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!
