Great location just outside of Hill City. Host was easy to reach and very helpful. Plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out and having two bathrooms was great. Would stay there again!

Very clean, great location
We really enjoyed the stay. If you follow the directions provided, you drive right to the cabin. It was very clean with a great back patio and deck which we took advantage of in the evenings. Hill City is about 5 minutes away and we went to the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. All easy drives. We'd stay here again.

Great Time in Hill City!
Everything about this home was perfect for what we were looking for. It was secluded on the side of a large hill, had every amenity we needed, and was close to all of the sites we wanted to see. From here we visited Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, the Badlands, Bear County USA, and more! Everything was great, and at the end of each day we were able to come back and relax in this quiet place!

A perfect stay
Our family had a great time staying in this cabin! It was extremely clean upon arrival and had so many thoughtful amenities, such as all the basic necessities like soap, towels, linens, paper towels, etc., as well as less thought of, but extremely helpful items, like fans, lighter/matches, extension cords, books, etc. Additionally, the cabin itself and the surrounding area was gorgeous. The cabin is spacious and the hilltop neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. Located in Hill City, it's very close to all the major attractions and it was easy to return to after a fun day of play. Overall, our stay in the cabin turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the trip. Very cozy, comfortable and relaxing. We are already excited to come back and visit again!

Cabin was just what our family needed for our vacation in South Dakota. Room to spread out yet come together for meals and family games or discussion. Area was quiet and away from traffic yet close to the activities we wanted to do. Lindsey answered any questions we had. Great vacation!

Perfect family getaway!
Our family had such a wonderful experience! There was plenty of room for everyone and with a couple groceries, you have everything you need! The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Hills, but it's so beautiful at the cabin, we didn't really feel the need to leave! Although I do highly recommend riding the 1880 train to Keystone for the full experience! I cannot recommend this property highly enough!! We hope we can come back year after year!

Awesome Experience
We had a great time at the property. Check in was super easy. It was very clean, had lots of fun games for the kids, and was in an excellent location. The loft was great for our big kids but I wouldn’t recommend it for children under 8-9. The stairs are extremely steep. Overall we really had a great experience staying here.

Family trip to the Black Hills
This place is great! We had a really nice time at this cabin and it was absolutely perfect for our family of four. Our boys (4 & 7 years old) had a blast playing baseball in back yard and exploring the abundance of forest that surrounded us. The location of the cabin is perfect, just a few minutes outside of Hill City. We didn't know it but the location put us in the heart of everything with Rushmore, Custer, Jewel Cave, Reptile Gardens, Crazy Horse, etc. all just about a 20 minute drive away. We would definitely stay here again, cheers to Dulce & Mike for being great hosts!

Peaceful and quiet with nature
The cabin was well equipped. All appliances were in great shape and working order. Was very clean. Second bathroom was small but useful. The deck was a big hit especially with the children. Did not miss the air conditioning due to shaded and cool temps. Close to major attractions. Only drawback was the sleeping loft. Beds are on the floor no frames. The small bedroom upstairs was comfortable but very tight quarters The ladder to the loft should be relooked at. Very steep and dangerous especially at night. We enjoyed our stay but will look at other options next year only because we like variety and change. Still give it a 5 star.

Great price, secluded cabin
This property worked well for us but should have been listed as 2 bedroom with 2 attic bedrooms. They were tiny and had beds on the floor, a carpeted ladder was very dangerous for children to reach the room from indoors. The second bathroom was very tiny, but had a shower, sink, and toilet. I felt like we had to do too much work to prepare to checkout with stripping beds, washing 2 loads of them, washing towels, taking trash about a mile away to the dumpster, running dishwasher, etc. Our bed was very hard, but we were so exhausted from having fun all day that we slept okay. My tip to the owner is to install a lock on the door leading to the ladder/staircase and a door with lock at the top to avoid the younger children from falling. This happened 5 times during our stay. Luckily, none of the little ones were seriously injured. We did have a good stay, just wish there had been more pics online!
