We really enjoyed the stay. It was a great location: quiet, beautiful views and private. Our host was informative and timely. The cabin was well stocked beyond any expectations and set up well. We agreed that Hill City was the most charming town of all the small towns in the area and was glad we chose this location. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

Cabins like this make family time so memorable. Great location to town, yet private and beautiful. Fantastic grill, gas fire pit, plenty of parking even for a trailer, spacious kitchen and bath, full sized fridge, water cooler, hot showers, comfy front porch, fluffy neighbor cows complete with a colorful donkey, air conditioner, relaxing living room, very comfy beds, great recommendations and accommodations thoughtfully given by the hosts! What’s not to love!

We were very comfortable there. Good comfortable furniture, plenty large kitchen and bathroom. The East facing porch was great in the evenings. Deer most evenings and mornings , turkeys roosting in the pines behind the cabin. I enjoyed waking in the morning under the log spire of the loft. Large Gas grille on the back patio area made the cookout easy. Very quiet area with good parking for our trailer and side by side buggy. Hill City was a great area to access so many cool adventures. All in all a great place that we plan to return to.

This stay was exceptional! The cabin was EXTREMELY clean and organized, the host was so kind and helpful, and the location was perfect! We visit the Black Hills every year, and this was one of our favorite cabins so far. For UTV/ATV riders, there is plenty of room for a large trailer, or a couple small trailers. We have a trailer that comfortably fits two UTVs, and we had no issues parking.
