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.
