This house is perfect for our large family!

We have stayed at this house multiple times. We enjoy the layout of the house as there is plenty of room for people to gather to visit or do activities. We give our son and his young family the main floor bedroom as there is room for all of their young children. They can get up to use the bathroom or kitchen any time of the night without disturbing the rest of us. The proximity to the Mickelson Trail is great as we love to go walking when we are not touring. The location in Hill City is a nice central location in the Hills, with easy access to both Custer and Rapid City. We are already looking forward to our next stay!

Great home for family reunions.

Location is great. Kitchen is well stocked with tableware and cooking utensils. Very roomy, and the deck was a great place to experience the Northern Lights.

Big Family Vacation

This spacious house was perfect for a family of 8! The location is beautiful - private and out of town but close to everything we wanted to see and do. Only wish we had more time to further explore the trail that runs right by the property!

South Dakota Vacation

Beautiful area, saw several deer and chipmunks. We had problems finding enough linens for the number of people we had staying, and the water would wane out if more than one person was taking a shower. Overall, the property is clean and comfortable. I would stay here again.

Family Memories

Nice property with plenty of sleeping for multiple families. We had a family reunion in the hills with 11 adults, 2 teens, and a tiny infant. The kitchen, dining, living area is open and spacious with plenty of seating for everyone to hang out in the same place. The kitchen was supplied with all the pans, utensils, and appliances for cooking, and also had spices and coffee. Only thing we could've used more of was a few extra blankets for couch sleepers and the large air mattress that was onsite. Overall, a great place close to all of the Black Hills fun!

Great home

Perfect home for our family's vacation. The Manager was very accommodating and met our needs within minutes! The home was adequately furnished and plenty of outdoor space for kids to play. We had two deer that we could see from the picture window! I would love to rent this home in the future and it's only about 2 miles from Hill City:-)

Perfect location! Spacious kitchen.

Easy to find this home. Comfortable beds, very spacious and well-equipped kitchen. Bonus having the gorgeous Mickelson Trail at the end of our driveway! Owners were a phone call away. Oven wasn't heating correctly and they worked on getting it fixed asap. Nice sitting areas on each floor. Washer and dryer were very handy for washing clothes after hiking. I would only recommend more blankets, kitchen washclothes and towels. While you are here, you must check out Moccasin Springs Natural Mineral Springs/Spa. And making a reservation at the Bearded Buffalo.

Great Stay

The property was very clean when we arrived. Everything was in working order. The most important, the bed were very comfortable. Plenty of room for our three families ( 5 adults 3 kids). We contacted the property managers once for a minor problem and got an immediate response. Even though this was the first week of April there was a major blizzard with over a foot of snow for the first couple of days. We just stayed at the house and enjoyed watching it snow. This is a great location for Mt Rushmore, Badlands, Wind Cave and other fun spots. Timing was not the best, the snow canceled our planned hikes, but we still had a lot of fun. This is a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it. We all agreed to come back on another year and hope for better weather. Don't miss going to the Wind Cave it was the highlight of our stay.

Very nice house. Spacious for group of 12 adults. Having the garage available to us was very helpful also. Close to wheeling trails. Dryer didn't work, which would of been helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Caretaker was very nice and helpful!

This is a great house.

We have stayed at this house multiple times. It is just right for a large family group, with plenty of places for people to gather. There are also many configurations for sleeping arrangements. The location is perfect, being just out of the hub-bub of Hill City, but close enough to get there easily. We enjoy walking on the Mickelson Trail, just out the door in the evenings when our activities for the day are finished.
