We had a wonderful time celebrating our daughter’s wedding in Rapid City. Our stay at The Barney House was very comfortable and was perfect for our family. The outside patio was a relaxing way to end our busy days. There was a slight misunderstanding and Cody handled the situation very well. When visiting RC we will definitely book the Barney house for our family.

This house served as the perfect jumping-off point for out trip. It is right in the historic district and close to downtown. We were able to get to Badlands NP, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, and Mount Rushmore with ease. The house comfortably accommodated 11 people, including 2 small children. It looks like it has been redone recently; beautifully so, if that’s the case. If we have occasion to return, we will definitely try to stay here!
