About this property

Gold Pan Inn is waiting for you!! Our home is wheelchair accessible with no stairs to climb. The comfy living room welcomes you to relax watching TV while the dining room is the perfect place for a couple/family dinner. An open concept allows you to cook in the fully furnished kitchen (dishes, pots & pans, a coffeemaker, a crockpot and a blender) while enjoying a conversation with the rest of your party.
The primary bedroom boasts a king-size bed and en-suite bath. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a full bath directly across the hall. Towels and bedding are all provided…all you need to bring is your clothes, food and personal items.
Our home is situated on Prospect Mountain which gives you a beautiful view of the 1880 Train from the deck while sipping your favorite glass of wine or beer (did we mention there are 5 wineries & 3 breweries to visit in Hill City?) A flat-iron grill is available for your use as is a washer & dryer.
NEW FOR 2022: Both bathrooms were completely remodeled.
NEW FOR 2021: New flooring in the living room, dining room & kitchen. A new love seat & 2 new chairs complete the update!
Hill City is centrally located to all the major attractions in the Black Hills. Crazy Horse is only 10 minutes away; Mt. Rushmore is 15 minutes away. Custer State Park beckons with buffalo, elk, pronghorn, prairie dogs, and donkeys (a pass to the Park is included with your rental). If you are really lucky you will also see the mountain goats and the big horn sheep! You can rent ATV's just outside town or take a trail ride on a great horse!
And, Hill City itself is a fabulous, quaint little town. You can visit unique shops (The Farmer's Daughter), peruse some of the finest art in the Black Hills (there are 4 art galleries), ride the 1880 Train, or come face-to-face with Buffy…the T-Rex! And, of course, the restaurants are amazing!
Also available a couple blocks from our home is the Mickelson Trail where you can ride bikes (rentals available downtown at Rabbit Bicycle), walk, run, or jog. The Trail is 109 miles through the middle of the Black Hills. Gorgeous!!
So come to the Black Hills…stay with us! You will be glad you did!

A gem of a property in Hill City!

10/10 WE LOVED OUR STAY - We took a weeklong trip to South Dakota and decided to stay in Hill City because of it's central location to all of the places we wanted to see. The property itself is fully updated, but with a rustic feel. There is some forest area directly next to the property and we saw wild deer feeding there, and a wide variety of birds! Close proximity to the main street in Hill City (for food: try Lemongrass or the 1885 Steakhouse!) We can't say enough about the place - would give it my highest recommendation!

Peaceful Retreat

My husband and I brought my parents to see Mt. Rushmore and this place was perfect. After a day of sightseeing it was nice to return to the peace and quiet. The house is clean and the furniture is comfortable. The balcony has a partial view of downtown Hill City and it’s close enough to walk. The owners are wonderful to work with and we would definitely stay here again! 5 Stars!!

Fantastic location!

This is absolutely the best location for the Black Hills. Located centrally to all the attractions for an easy drive to everything but also able to walk into Hill City to several restaurants, museums, and shopping. The property was very well maintained and we were not expected to do a bunch of cleaning before we left. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Wonderful Place to Stay

What a beautiful place! Extremely clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the coffee! We needed 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for 2 couples. The place is roomy and the view of the forest is perfect. It was close to all the places we visited and loved the close proximity to the Mikkelson trail. Our host was quick to respond to our questions. We did use the provided pass to the Custer State Park, which was a sweet touch! (Though we didn’t need to use the laundry, it was very nice and stocked with everything.) We would definitely stay again!

A Perfect Getaway

I have stayed in many places, but this was by far the cleanest, most organized and most comfortable of all of them. It was perfect for the 4 of us, and the location allowed us to see a few deer, too! It was nice to have the supplies we needed and not be limited to two rolls of paper towels or 3 trash bags. You can never go wrong with this townhome. We were so glad it was what we chose.

Fantastic Stay and location.

Pros: Property is beautiful, clean and great location. Beds were comfortable. Host is great and attentive. We appreciated the pass to get in Custer state park. We used it many times. The ammentites were good. Internet was strong which was important because we both had to work at night. We also loved access to garage as hail is always a concern in the area. (We already totaled one car due to hail in this area 10 yrs. ago) Cons: No tvs in bedrooms which is difficult when traveling with kids and I like to watch tv when going to bed. Lastly, although use of garage, you cannot get in townhouse through garage which under normal circumstances would not matter, BUT we got caught in a severe storm as we were just getting home with heavy hail. Pulled into garage, and had to wait in garage until weather stopped which was quite a while. If access to house through garage was opened, we would have been in house safely and dry. The cons were so minor that we will be back! We made great memories and enjoyed the area!

Black Hills Gold! - This dwelling is the next best thing!!!

The location is EXCELLENT. You can walk to town, grocery store, dinner, or walking trail. But yet you still feel like you are somewhat away from it all since the property is set back in some woods, nice landscaping, and we had gentle deer wander through the back yard three of the five days we were there.The unit owner was SUPER and the unit was in LIKE NEW condition. Of all of the Vrbo's we have used, this is the very best!!! This was our second time staying in this unit and I will book this location again in the future without hesitation. I have also recommended this to my friends that have interest in visiting the Black Hills area. The central location in Hill City makes this perfect for exploring all the area has to offer. - Randy

Everything about our stay was fantastic. The rental was immaculate, the relaxed atmosphere was great, and the manager was extremely accommodating and easy to work with.

Home away from Home

When we first arrived, there was a glitch getting in due to a dead battery in the door lock. We called Rick, and he came and fixed the problem immediately. It was nice getting to meet him and talk about things to do in the area. We loved how homey everything was. The sunflower theme throughout the home was inviting and just seemed to brighten everything. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable and we slept very well. We really enjoyed the deck and the views from it and we were even able to see deer wandering in the yard. We were also able to meet Lorena and she was incredibly nice as well. We cant wait to return. This is for sure a destination spot for us!!

Awesome!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Gold Pan Inn. It was immaculately clean, centrally located and a great place to come home to after the days activities. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils for cooking, the beds were super comfy and the property was beautifully decorated. It has everything you need in a home away from home. A bonus was seeing deer in the backyard almost every day. It was a super location in Hill City, within walking distance to shops and restaurants and a nice view from the deck. It was also centrally located to almost everything in the Black Hills. Communication with Lorena was excellent and checking in and out was very easy. We highly recommend this property and plan on returning in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Rick & Lorena Freis

We started vacationing in the Black Hills in 2000 and knew immediately that we wanted to live here at some point! In 2009, we were able to make our dream come true when we purchased this beautiful home, overlooking Hill City, SD. Now, we want to share our home and our love of the Black Hills with those who visit here.

Why they chose this property

Originally, this home fit our needs as we were caring for a family member. It allowed us a total separate living space while giving us easy access to the main level if needed. When our family member moved, we decided it was time to bring our home back to the original purpose...a vacation home.

What makes this property unique

Hill City is centrally located to all the major attractions in the Black Hills, making it a perfect place to stay. When we saw the incredible views of the forest and the 1880 Train, we knew this was the perfect place for us! Now you too, can share in the beauty of our home and our neighborhood!
