About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Idlewild Pines Retreat

Simple, stylish decor is what you'll find throughout our comfortable townhome. There's 2 free outdoor parking on premises (just a short 33 foot walk to the front door), a complete kitchen, in-home laundry, WiFi, a desk to work, and a private outdoor patio. The Chapel Valley neighborhood is quiet and tranquil, other than deer walking around or hearing the wind whistle through the Ponderosa pines. You're at the doorstep of the Black Hills & centrally located to all of the great western South Dakota sites.

Traveling with your family, especially small kids? Chances are you might be having a few meals at the townhome . As a result, we even have utensils & plates for your toddlers, as well as a great collection of books too. This way you can take them off your tablets & be able to read to them before bed or during the day.

We've spent hours putting together a very, very comprehensive online guidebook that we'll immediately send out to you after you book with us. We all know that you'll be traveling out this way to see 4 dead famous men on a side of a granite rock, but in case you're wondering what else there is to see & do out here, don't worry - we've got you covered like a blanket. From the best spots to star-gaze, to where to eat, what outdoor bars to hit up or some of the best hikes, you'll have everything at your fingertips & then-some! In other words, we've pretty much done your itinerary for you so you don't need to do it.

The space:
Start your day with a hot drink from the coffee bar, and enjoy sipping it outside on the front deck or under the umbrella on our private patio in back. The dining room table easily seats 6 for meals or to plan your day. The spacious living room has a large, flat-screen smart TV for you to relax & unwind. The place is very clean, as we've sought out the best in the business - our cleaner won "Best Of The Black Hills Award for Cleaners" in 2021. We've incorporated local art throughout to highlight the beauty of the Black Hills as well.

Excellent rental

Excellent location in Rapid City where there is plenty of shopping and things to do. Rental was located within reasonable driving distance of many attractions including mount rushmore, the Badlands, Jewel cave, Custer State Park, and Crazy Horse. Also close to the excellent reptile gardens which we took advantage of on a rainy day. David was an excellent host who gave us many suggestions of things to do and strategies on how to do them best and most efficiently. We even got to do a little stargazing on a clear night less than 20 minutes from the rental. I would definitely recommend this rental to others.

Perfect location and super quiet

This townhouse was perfect for us and we would definitely stay again. Everything was very clean and well equipped. We loved that two of the bedrooms have king size beds and the beds were very comfortable. There were lots of thoughtful touches throughout and the location was super quiet. The owners were very responsive and helpful when we had a question.

Amazing hosts + Great location

We had the whole place to ourselves and the hosts were very gracious. They gave us so much local insight that it felt like we had a friend in the area! The location is also amazing. It’s within walking distance of a beautiful park. It’s also pretty equidistant to all the national and state parks in the area, which is fantastic for those who are exploring the great outdoors!

Great time in Rapid City

House was in a great location — 10 minutes or so from all the restaurants and bars in town and on the side of town closest to the historical sites. Neighborhood is quiet and the house itself is spacious and well maintained. Plenty of room for a larger group although it was just my wife and me. Would recommend to anyone coming to the area and would stay here again if we were to return.

Great stay!

We found the location of this property to be great for all the locations we wanted to visit—Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, Custer, Devil’s Tower, Hill City. deadwood’s and more! Had we known how beautiful the local lake/park was we would have allowed time to enjoy it as well! The townhome had comfy beds, adequate space, local sites highlighted in the decor/art. The beds were comfy, nice to have a washer and dryer, and it was appreciated to have soaps, shampoo, etc provided.
