About this property

Great value! Great location! Located walking distance to downtown Hill City!

Beautifully updated home in the perfect location for exploring the Black Hills and Hill City! Walk downtown or hop on the 110 mile Mickelson trail system just a few blocks from the house! You will be delighted by the clean, bright open space and low cleaning fee!

With a modern kitchen, two queen bedrooms and two bathrooms, this vacation home is perfect for a family or two couples that want to enjoy all that the Black Hills have to offer and relax and enjoy the evenings.

This home boasts an additional bonus area with futon, washer and dryer, two sitting areas and a large back deck with gas grill.

The Villa is located just up the hill from the 1880 steam train depot and museum. You can wave at the tourists on the train as it rolls into the station but rest assured, the train won’t wake you from your slumber. It only runs a few times a day and is barely heard from inside the house! It’s sure to be a highlight of your stay!

The Villa is not a good fit for large groups or anyone traveling with a big rig (off street parking is required by the city-please inquire before booking if you have a camper, trailer, etc.).

This rental is for the entire main floor of the home. A basement with completely separate entrance is not included in this rental and is reserved for use by owners.

This home is equipped with security camera directed towards the front door.

It was a lovely home with plenty of room and everything we needed for our group. It’s just a short walk to the main street with lots of cute stores. As a bonus we had daily visits of deer, wild turkeys and a neighborhood cat.

Beautiful location

The property was amazing. Clean, spacious and a great view. Super close to downtown and walking distance to stores and restaurants. We also had deer every night up in the yard. Beds were amazing slept better here than at my own home. Kids loved playing games on the deck and watching the old train! Perfectly in the middle of the black hills, great jumping point for anything in the area. Will be back!

Cozy Home in Hill City!

We stayed for 6 nights while riding motorcycles around the Black Hills! This home is so close to downtown Hill City yet had privacy and deer cross almost daily through the yard! We could walk downtown and took the 1880 train to Keystone which is walkable from the home as well! Super location, home is extremely clean and well kept! Great communication with our host, Glynda! Thank you for an awesome stay Glynda! We definitely recommend this home!

Beautiful view of Hill City

Beautiful natural light in main area, clean, super soft comfortable sheets, wonderful deck outside. The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars on communication with property manager was because I had sent a message with a quick question prior to stay and, to my knowledge, never received a reply. We were looking forward to grilling out every night but the grill was in desperate need of a good cleaning and there were some grates that were burnt through. The view of this sweet little town is beautiful and the deck is larger than the listing picture shows. The kitchen was wonderful, the entertainment/tvs were easy to use and had many things to choose from which we appreciated after a long day out being able to put a disney show on for kids while we made supper. Overall I would love to stay again.

Perfect location in the heart of Hill City

This was the perfect house for our family. It was an easy walk to the downtown Hill City shops, restaurants, and the 1880 train. It was also centrally located which made visiting Custer State Park and Mount Rushmore a breeze. We will definitely be back.

The property was very well appointed and met all of our needs. The location is ideal for the purposes of our trip, which included hiking and biking. The property is located away from the main streets, so is nice and quiet, but is within easy walking distance of restaurants and other attractions in Hill City.

Beautiful home in perfect location!

We LOVED this property. I would absolutely stay here again. It was immaculately clean, beds and couches were super comfy, kitchen was very well stocked and there were more than enough sheets and towels. I also appreciated a great stock of smaller items that are hard to fly with(shampoo, body wash, coffee/tea/creamers, kleenex, and on and on). The location was perfect. It was central to Custer State Park, Rapid City, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and then about 90 minutes to Badlands(but all highway so easy). The Mickelson trail(100 mile gravel trail) is a 3 minute walk from the house. One day while walking we saw deer and about 12 elk! There is also a fairly large back yard for kids to play. The owner was incredibly helpful answering all of my pre travel questions and making the trip much easier. If you are deciding between a few properties, pick this one! You won't be disappointed.

Very nice

One bedroom was a little tight getting into bed, so no nightstand on one side. A little shelf, something enough to put a drink, phone and glasses would have made everything perfect.
