Perfect spot for us to unwind after a long trip. Lovely fireplace and Christmas tree decorations. Kitchen was perfect for a couple of meals along with the master being extremely comfortable and sizable. We loved our stay.
The host was extremely responsive and helpful. I love that it was pet friendly and the house was very clean. Highly recommend staying here!

The house was recently remodeled and very clean. We had 7 in our party and were very comfortable. The host thought if everything, including extra toiletries. Great stay.
I and my 2 coworkers traveled here from West River and decided on this property because of the spaciousness and beauty of the property. We enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere and furnishings, and the host was very communicative and gracious. Would stay again!
The Firehouse was a great place to stay. Fairly close to a lot of activities and attractions. The house was exactly as listed and plenty of space. Dari was a a great host, communication was clear and check in was easy! I would stay here again amd recommend it to others when staying in Sioux Falls!
My bestie and I chose this place for our Rest, Relax, Recharge vacation! We made the trip to SD to our favorite band and booked this house. Even though it was just us two it was perfect! The fireplaces were awesome! The office came in handy and the backyard with the fire pit and grill were amazing to have.
We wanted a place close to the Sioux Falls airport. The house was adorable and clean. We were close to downtown which is super cute and fun to walk around. The next morning we left for the airport and it took us 11 minutes. We were pleased with our stay!
I had an amazing experience at the Fire House! The place was spotless, and the owners were incredibly friendly and easy to deal with. The entire process was smooth and straightforward, making it a hassle-free experience. Highly recommend it!
We absolutely loved our stay here. Communication was very easy, the house was clean and so cute! It is close to everything that you may need! The beds were so comfortable!
A group of us, middle-aged ladies, met up for a conference and loved our stay! We planned to use the fire pit in the back but never found the time, sadly. Would stay there again the next time I am in Sioux Falls!
Great stay in Sioux Falls. Place was very close to everything in downtown. Property owners were always quick to respond to any questions we had.
Thanks for everything.
