About this property
My Blue Haven is a Walkers Paradise 5 min to the Monument and 15 min to Downtown
Enjoy a peaceful stay at this 3-bedroom renovated 1930’s limestone bungalow in Rapid City. My Blue Haven has been decorated with vintage and antique pieces to make the most of the original charm while providing all the amenities and modern conveniences of home. Its central location makes it fast and easy to get on interstate 90 or Rushmore Rd. It is a 5 minute walk to the Monument where you can enjoy concerts, rodeos, hockey matches, and more. Downtown shopping and dining is only a 15 minute walk through Memorial Park and M Hill with its extensive biking and hiking trails is less than a mile away. This bungalow beauty offers plenty of room with 3 bedrooms: 1 King, 1 Queen on the main level, and 2 Queens in a charming second floor oasis, just perfect for friends and family. With high-speed internet, individual temp controlled heating/cooling units throughout, WiFi, washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen, and lots of indoor/outdoor seating, the Blue Haven has all you need to make yourself comfortable in this home away from home. Kickback, relax, and enjoy everything Rapid City and our home has to offer.

About the host
Hosted by Carmen Richmond
I have lived in Rapid City for over 20 years. My husband and I enjoy hiking, climbing, backpacking, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, ice fishing and camping in the Black Hills. We love being able to share our knowledge and passion of the area with our guests!
Why they chose this property
Blue Haven was our first home lovingly restored with the intent of providing a home for our family and friends when they come to the area. We love the easy access to I-90 and Mt Rushmore Rd. The convenience to walk a couple of blocks to attend events at the Monument or go downtown was another plus in our decision.
What makes this property unique
Blue Haven is a gem of a classic limestone bungalow home with beautiful and unique exterior and an abundance of natural light through the huge picture windows on the east and south side of the home. The surrounding hedge and fence create privacy with a large yard perfect for grilling out or playing games.
