About this property

Looking to find the best that the Black Hills has to offer? This mountain cabin overlooking a huge lake is the ideal home base to discover it all. The fun begins only a few steps away from the back door with a lake where you can fish for trout (catch and release is greatly appreciated), swim and/or use the paddle boat.

Every day will bring new experiences as you choose to visit many of the Black Hills' major attractions that are only a few minutes' drive away. Lifelong memories will be created as you enjoy the grandeur of Mount Rushmore or take in the magnificence of Crazy Horse Memorial or ride the 1880s steam train. Exciting adventures abound with water skiing and jet skiing on surrounding lakes (Pactola Reservoir and/or Sheridan Lake), biking and hiking on Mickelson Trail, or ATV riding on some of the most beautiful trails anywhere. The history of the old west will come alive as you visit historic Deadwood which is about an hour's drive.

When the day's adventure is over you'll relax in the tranquil and secluded surroundings of our cabin. As the sun goes down you can enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature and wildlife as you watch the moon rise over the mountain and the stars begin to sparkle on crystal clear nights.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway or an activity filled time in the Black Hills, you'll find it here.

Great place to stay!!

Paul and Wanda are excellent hosts! My parents and I had a great time and would definitely stay in this location again! It was so nice to have a quiet, cozy, home to come back to after touring the tourist attractions. The home has everything you might need when traveling and then some. The hosts are very thoughtful! I will be telling my students back in Kansas all about my trip when school starts back up. This was a relaxing way to end summer!

Lakeside Delight!

We stayed at Wanda and Paul’s condo for 4 nights and would have loved to stay longer! The condo was extremely comfortable and was the cleanest I have ever booked. We received a warm welcome from Wanda when we arrived and she gave us the details and even brought a complimentary bottle of wine for the adults and sparkling grape juice for our son. It was very hot when we stayed and she had the air conditioner all set and fans available for extra comfort. The condo was in a gated community with spaced out homes and condos situated around a beautiful lake.it was so peaceful, and still very close to area attractions such as Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave, Newel Cave, Crazy Horse and much more.Hill City was an easy 15 minute drive. The condo had absolutely everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable and the washer/dryer was a life saver! There were lots of games (inside and outside) and even our own paddle boat to use with life jackets of all sizes. The water was a little chilly but our son still managed to get in some swimming. The back deck overlooked the lake and has a large gas grill and fire pit along with table and chairs for outdoor dining. I had coffee on it every morning enjoying the peace and beauty of the lake. Perhaps the most special was the fishing pole and worms that Wanda and Paul left for us to use because they knew how badly our son wanted to fish. If you are coming to the Black Hills area you should absolutely consider this location.

Excellent property with fabulous hosts

We had a wonderful experience with this rental! It is about 15 minutes from the downtown of Hill City and very remote, but we enjoyed the privacy and serenity! Our kids loved the pond - fishing and paddle boating. We loved the back patio and view. Wanda and Paul were awesome hosts (they live in the condo right next store to this rental). We were welcomed to the very homey rental with a welcome message for our family on the chalk board. Also Paul brought over a bottle of wine and sparkling wine for our kids. All of the little touches were so nice, such as candy filled in the dish, all soaps/shampoos, laundry/dishwasher soap, garbage bags, etc. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a private, beautiful setting!

The place was amazing and host couple did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. The only thing that site could communicate more clearly is that 2nd bedroom is not really a room but space at top of stairs. Otherwise, the condo was clean and the setting was absolutely beautiful. I will return if I ever plan another trip to Black Hills area.

This property is lovely. It’s off the beaten path and away from town. For us that are used to country living, it was perfect. The kids loved the pond. All the games that are provided were an excellent way to spend time as a family. Thank you for a wonderful week!

My family and I had a fabulous stay! Wanda and Paul were very welcoming and the house was clean and cozy. Our favorite feature was the absolutely stunning lake and view. There was so much space for my kids to play and explore. They especially loved the lake and seeing so much wildlife! We can't wait to go back.

A little slice of serenity

This property was just what my family needed. It’s tucked away in a private area and we were able to fish each evening. The space was clean and had everything we needed plus some extras like games and the fixings for smores. We were very happy!

Great home base

We had an epic vacation with our family of four (two kids 8 & 9). This home was the perfect home base, centrally located and still off-the-beaten-path. They were great hosts and very responsive. The house was fully stocked and we cooked some great meals in their kitchen and on the grill. The kids loved playing by the lake. The scenery was beautiful. The one thing that we were disappointed by when we first arrived is that it wasn’t as secluded as the pictures made it seem. The owners live in an attached rental unit and there are a number of other similar town homes in the culdesac. This ended up being a plus for us, because our kids had a ton of fun fishing with other kids staying in a different rental unit. And the hosts were not intrusive at all. It ended up feeling pretty private. But it’s something worth noting just in case you are looking for something totally private. Even with our surprise, we were happy we stayed there because it really was the perfect home base.

Quiet Haven

If you want to get away from it all this is the place. It is a little bit of a drive from Hill City but well worth it for the view along with the peace and quite. There were geese every morning and even some deer across the little lake in the evening. Although we did not get to spend as much time here as we had wished we are considering this place for our next trip to the hills. Wanda was very kind and our place was clean and comfortable!

Relaxing, Peaceful Location

Our family of five, including two teenagers and one elementary-age child, found the condo cozy, well stocked, and clean. Everyone enjoyed the lake, fishing, paddle boating, and geese watching. The location near Hill City provided easy access to Black Hills’ top attractions. Wanda and Paul were wonderful hosts, accommodating yet respectful of guests’ privacy.

Our hosts were wonderful people. We were located close to Rapid City, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer State Park. The setting was very tranquil, hills were beautiful. After a long day of seeing the sights , it was nice to get back and unwind. Definitely a hidden gem with this property. Hopefully its available when we return in the future

All the Comforts of Home with the Beauty of the Black Hills

From the minute we arrived we knew the extra driving to get to this beautiful lake-side property would be worth it. Wanda greeted us warmly and gave us a little tour and explained things we might like to know. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked, the sheets were silky, and the outdoor living space was heaven. We grilled and ate outside almost every night. My kids loved paddle boating and fishing. They also liked hanging out on the deck outside playing games and giggling our mornings and evenings away. We weren't at the property much in the middle of the day as we were sight-seeing. If that's what your trip includes, I would say the extra driving amounted to about half an hour total each day, as the property is located outside of Hill City in the opposite direction of most of our activities. But man...was it a beautiful place to come "home" to each day.

Good Memories

Wanda & Paul are wonderful hosts. The condo itself was very clean, organized and had all the basic essentials. The location is "off the beaten path" -- it is beautiful, peaceful and the perfect spot to land after a busy day of sightseeing. We enjoyed fishing the private lake, paddleboat rides and s’mores around the fire pit. The kids had so much fun reeling in (and releasing) the trout. Our family loved watching the deer play in and around the lake as well as spotting the osprey and herons. Would, without a doubt, stay again.
