About this house rental
This is Josh and Christie's basement apartment. There is a separate entrance that you have entirely to yourself. We are just a 5-min. walk from downtown so you can easily walk to dinner, tour downtown, and check out everything the city has to offer. Sitting high above Mt Rushmore Road, light from 3 windows makes you feel above ground. Our back patio is nice for relaxing and our location can't be beaten.
Are we booked? Check out our upstairs space "Modern Meets Classic minutes from Downtown."
The space
Our little home is small but cozy and cute. Our studio is perfect for your stay. With free wifi, AppleTV, and a central location, it’s a great place to call home while you’re in the Black Hills. Get out and explore, relax and watch some TV, or enjoy grilling and laying on the hammock in the backyard.

Guest access
Access to the house is the alley in the rear. Parking is limited but you have your own space. Head out to the front of the house to follow the sidewalk and walk downtown.
Other things to note
Parking is free and available but limited to 1 space (possible 2 on special request).
We use an August Lock for check-in. Once a booking is confirmed, it will auto-generate an email to you with check-in instructions so please look for that right away as some people miss it.
We welcome your pets, but we do charge an extra cleaning fee of $25 to allow for a more thorough cleaning after your furry friend visits.
The steps down to the apartment are very steep. If you have trouble getting up or down steps, it could make access more difficult.
The room is pretty spacious, but the ceilings are low. If you are taller than 6’1”, the height of the support beam in the room could be inconvenient.
We rent out the main level as a separate unit as well, but you have your own private space. Only Laundry and the backyard are shared.

A very sweet little apartment blocks from downtown. It was clean and very comfortable. The stairs are a little tricky, but manageable. 😊

This was the perfect spot to stay for our holiday. The 'Cozy Apartment' was exactly as described and was everything we needed for our stay in Rapid City. The location next to downtown and our hosts' food/drink recommendations were spot on. Check in/out was super easy and communication with our hosts Josh and Christie was excellent. I highly recommend staying with them if you plan on visiting Rapid City.

You guys!!!! These hosts are the B-E-S-T! They're communication is beyond! They've put so much thought, and joy, and love into making their rentals warm, inviting, and comfortable. So many little comforts scattered throughout the space to make your stay feel like the home of a best friend. These hosts will be my first search for all my visits to western SD.

It was just the right size for 2 adults for two nights in Rapid City. The full fridge was nice as was the grill! Outdoor space was super inviting and relaxing. We requested a couple of things and received them the next day. Just be aware the steps are steep but nothing that would keep us away from this spot. Great communication! Recommend

Apartment was centrally located to absolutely everything! Downtown Rapid City is two blocks away and is an adorable town. The city parks are magnificent for family fun and unwinding.

The basement apartment was a cute and cozy stay for my husband and I! Great location. Prompt, kind, and clear communication with the owners. Would recommend!

This please was very nice to stay at and the communication was very clear and easy to use. It look exactly like the photos but the only thing left out was the entrance in the photos. I was taken back when I realized that the stairs to get downstairs (basement) was super narrow and steep. Other than this flaw it was terrific to stay. Ceiling was a little short but I’m pretty tall.

Super cute little apartment! Easy walking distance to and from downtown, which is what we were looking for so that we could go out for New Years Eve and wouldn't have to drive. Great communication from the hosts. We would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I had a wonderful time visiting South Dakota and this little room was a very cozy experience for the both of us. We are very thankful that Josh and Christie were of making it cozy and easy for us to get in. The only thing negative I would say is that there is this smell of cigarettes that seeps in. On the first day of arrival, it was there but later in the day my nose couldn’t take it. We didn’t want to continue to bother the property manager about the problem, so we covered the smell by cooking breakfast every morning. (Thank you bacon!) Otherwise, the description is very thorough and accurate, the place was cute and small, and I recommend staying here!! :)

Basement apartment clean but very tiny. Booking said fenced yard but back fence was open. If not stopped by an over-turned trash can, my dog could have made it to busy city street.

This was a great place for a couple to stay for a quick weekend trip. Steps onto the property and to get into the room are steep, but we did not have any issues with that. Located on a main road that was sort of noisy, but inside we could not hear any traffic noise. Nice location near downtown. Good communication with owner.

Great little place
Cozy little place just a few blocks from downtown Rapid City. Josh was very helpful and had quick replies to any questions we had. He also let us run a load of laundry while we were there. He and Christie had several recommendations on places to eat or get coffee that we tried out. The only thing I'd warn anyone staying here about is that they're not kidding about the stairs into the apartment being steep! Overall we had a great time and would stay here again if we ever come back to Rapid City.

Wonderful place. Easy to get to everything!
The details made the difference. Little touches that personalized the stay made the experience fabulous. I highly recommend this place and hope to return again!

Perfect little nook
Great spot. Would be a little challenging for older folks with the stairs to the parking but we were fine. They've really maximized space, loved the ac unit and white noise options. Would recommend!

Cozy Basement Apartment
Josh’s place met all of our needs for our short stay in SD. You cannot beat the location. We checked out Badlands Nat Park and Black Hills - felt it was a good midway point. The space was big enough to fit my wife and I along with our 100 pound retriever with his crate. Didn’t have any issue with luggage and the narrow stairway but I am 6”2” and found myself ducking around the apartment. Anyone 6 foot and below will have no issues. Thanks Josh, loved the stay.

Great location. As described, there are some narrow stairs to manage. It would be nice to have more than 2 bath towels.

We had the best stay in the cozy basement. The space had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Josh and Christie did an excellent job and making us feel so welcomed! Very close to downtown. We got to enjoy the vertex sky bar as well and the views were perfect. Thank you Josh and Christie!

Cute, very good use of space. Very clean! Note that unit has a very tight access with very steep stairs that I feel may be less than convenient for some. Perfect for us and would rent again for sure!

This was a fantastic stay for my wife and I! You can tell the owners have done a lot of work to take an old home and make it cute and modern. Very welcoming and clean! The only downside is if you are a tall person you may find yourself ducking some in the basement suit. But if you are under approx 6ft 1in or so you'll be just fine!
Overall a wonderful stay with easy access to downtown Rapid City!
