Are pets allowed at RGT Lodging?

Unfortunately, we do not allow pets in our rental properties, to ensure a comfortable stay for guests with allergies and to maintain our cleanliness standards.

Can I host events or parties at the rental properties?

For the comfort and privacy of all guests, we do not permit events, parties or large gatherings in our rental properties. Quiet hours are observed.

What is your cancellation policy?

If a booking is cancelled 15 days before the arrival date, the deposit will be refunded in full. If a booking is cancelled 7–14 days before the arrival date, 50% of the deposit will be refunded. Cancellations are subject to a 4% administrative fee to cover payment-processing costs.

What are check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is at 4 PM Mountain Time and check-out is at 10 AM MT, unless otherwise agreed. Early check-in and late check-out may be available on request, subject to availability and additional charges. Entry is contactless with a smart lock; your code is sent before arrival.

Is there a minimum stay?

Yes — every condo has a 2-night minimum stay. During the off-season we also offer extended monthly stays, ideal for traveling professionals.

Every unit has its own garage, and there is a spacious paved overflow lot at the end of the cul-de-sac for large vehicles or trailers. Parking is free on site; street parking is prohibited because of the one-way street layout.

How can I conserve energy during my stay?

We kindly ask guests to help us conserve energy by setting the thermostat to 74 degrees in warmer weather and 68 degrees in colder weather when checking out or when the property is unoccupied during the day.

Are your rental properties family-friendly?

Absolutely! Our condos have fully equipped kitchens for easy meal preparation, smart entertainment for family movie nights and spacious living areas. Our two-bedroom units also include a Pack 'n Play, high chair and children's books.

What family-friendly attractions are nearby?

Bear Country USA, where you can observe North American wildlife up close (3.7 miles); Storybook Island, a charming park with themed play areas; Reptile Gardens; and Dinosaur Park, with life-size dinosaur sculptures and views over Rapid City.

No. All units are non-smoking, including vaping.

Will I be asked to verify my identity or pay a deposit?

Before your booking begins you may be asked to verify your details. If an independent verification is required you will be contacted by email and/or text, and given the choice between a refundable deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver — we suggest the damage waiver, as it protects you in case of accidental damage.

How old do I need to be to book?

You must be at least 18 years old to make a reservation, and payment is required at the time of booking unless otherwise specified.

Enjoy a Slower, More Authentic Rockerville Stay

One of the biggest benefits of staying in Rockerville is the atmosphere. It's quiet without being isolated, scenic without being tourist-heavy. From here you're a short drive to the major Black Hills attractions, hiking trails and scenic routes — explore when you want and come back to a calm place at the end of the day.

What makes a stay successful isn't just the location, it's how the space makes you feel day after day.

Monthly rentals made for real life

Extended Stays and Travel-Nurse Housing in Rockerville

When you stay somewhere for more than a few nights, the little things start to matter: a place to cook your own meals, enough room to unwind, a layout that doesn't feel temporary. Our Rockerville monthly rentals are built around those needs — fully furnished, with reliable internet and climate control, so you can settle into a routine instead of living out of a suitcase.

We regularly host travel nurses, contract workers, relocating employees and remote professionals who need dependable housing for extended assignments. You're close enough to Rapid City, Monument Health and work locations to keep the commute manageable, but far enough away to enjoy a slower pace. Reach out to learn about availability and monthly pricing.

Extended Stay Living in Rockerville That Feels Like Home

Fully furnished monthly rentals for travel nurses, professionals and anyone who needs more than a few nights in the Black Hills.

Rockerville Monthly Rentals Made for Real Life

Not every stay in the Black Hills is a quick trip. Sometimes you're here for work, a longer project, a relocation, or simply because a few weeks just won't be enough. Our extended stay options in Rockerville are designed for people who need time, space, and a place that actually feels livable.

Instead of a cramped hotel room or an empty rental you have to set up yourself, our units are fully furnished, thoughtfully laid out and ready for longer stays — whether you're here for a month or several. Each unit is set up to support everyday living, not just sleeping, so you can settle into a routine and stop feeling like you're living out of a suitcase.

Comfortable Housing for Travel Nurses and Professionals

We regularly host professionals who need dependable housing for extended assignments. Our travel nurse housing in the Black Hills is especially popular because it offers privacy, convenience and flexibility. You'll have your own space, your own routine, and a place that feels steady during demanding work schedules.

The same goes for contract workers, relocating employees and remote professionals. Rockerville keeps you close enough to Rapid City, medical facilities and work locations for a manageable commute, but far enough away to enjoy a slower pace. Many guests say they sleep better here and appreciate the open space and natural beauty around them.
