The Happy Place

Welcome to our Happy Place, close to everything in Sioux Falls. When you step into this house, you can't help but smile and feel the positive energy that resonates. We have turned this home into a colorful piece of art filled with an eclectic mixture of refurbished and custom, high end and one of a kind type furniture, appliances, fixtures and decor.

For your comfort, the bedroom features a higher end, medium soft queen size Serta Icomfort Hybrid mattress with a high end Serta Custom adjustable base that includes zero gravity, massage features and lumbar support. The window treatments are custom made with draperies and Hunter Douglas top down/ bottom up Roman Shades. Please note, this is a small bedroom and the walkway around the bed is between 19"-24" which is perfectly adequate to most people but may prove difficult to those with mobility issues accustomed to sleeping on the left side of the bed.

The kitchen is fully equipped and features an original, refurbished 1950's refrigerator and high end dishwasher with pullout drawers and concrete counter tops.

The bathroom is completely remodeled with designer tiles and fixtures.

The dining room holds a refurbished wood top and steel dining table and matching bench that was purchased from a local furniture dealer in town. The dining table sits 4-6 people very comfortably and is equipped with two dining chairs and one bench. The living room displays one of a kind, custom and eclectic furniture pieces designed and created specifically for this house. The window treatments include sheer curtains and top down/bottom up honeycomb shades.

The second bedroom hosts a very comfortable twin size bed and wardrobe. Tv options included are Hulu and Netflix.

WSCOOTER RENTALS
We have 2 Segway Ninebot Kickscooter Max G30P Scooters available for rent upon request & based on availability.

Pit stop in Souix Falls
We were traveling with our dogs in a sprinter van and were able to park it in the driveway. The house was clean and neat, the bed comfortable, and the bathroom has been renovated and had ample hot water. Since we were just staying overnight, I didn’t find the coffee and filters until leaving. I would suggest more labels and a coffee service in the counter.

It Really is a Happy Place
Easy to find location, helpful notes throughout house. Hosts are so thoughtful- they went above and beyond to make sure we not only had a pack and play to use during the visit, but they also had a few children’s books, a toddler seat to make sitting at the dining table easier for our 2 year old- they thought of everything! We felt like we were visiting Grandma’s house- just much more stylish and updated! It truly made us happy. We hope to stay here again next time we are in the area!

Just okay
I’ll start with the positives: I appreciated how communicative the hosts were. It was great to hear they recently purchased a pack and play and high chair - two fewer things to unpack from the car. The bathroom was the best room of the house. Issues: met with a speed boat and motorcycle parked in front of the house; trailer parked in the driveway; dirty, heavily spider-webbed front porch. The garage was missing its side door and appeared to be full of junk. There was no second exit. Inside the property I was most upset by the fact that a dishwasher is listed but the host requests guests wash and dry dishes by hand and put them away, and no sponge or dishrag were provided. As I said in my title, just okay. Also, very close to the zoo. Your nose will tell you as much.

Adorable and Comfortable
We were in town for just one night, and this house was the perfect place to stay. Located in a quaint neighborhood and an easy drive to Falls Park and the downtown area. When we arrived we were greeted with a personalized welcome note with helpful info. The home is full of fun decor and all the comforts of home, with a super comfy bed and nicely updated bathroom. Would definitely stay again if back in the area.

Eclectic Sioux Falls Find
Overall a very nice place. It's been nicely re-done and the decor is definitely eclectic as described, but done very nicely. We only stayed for one night as we were passing through but it suited our needs nicely. A little more attention to detail in cleaning the floors (dust in the corners and feet were dirty after a couple hours) would be nice. The main couch was very cute but the upholstery could have used a better cleaning. When my husband sat on it, he mentioned it smelled like it had been doused in air freshener and it was overpowering. The bathroom was also out of soap - having some extra handsoap on hand would be handy :)

Nice place but...
Great house to stay in, except a bit more detail to cleaning is needed. The rug at the table needs a good cleaning & the kitchen counter to the left of the sink has some residue on it. Aside from these two issues, it was great! Hopefully she reads her reviews and tends to these issues.
