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
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:-)

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.

Beautiful Home
We have a large family and were able to eat together, everyone had a bed. The deer came out to greet us in the morning with our coffee on the deck. Close to Sylvan lake, Mt. Rushmore, Hill city, Spearfish Canyon. The house met all our needs.

Wheeling trip
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!

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.

Nice place but attached deck is small for size of table and chairs
Spacious area for parking for we were pulling trailers. Not able to see traffic coming when leaving due to steep driveway and tall grass. Friend had to stand at top of driveway to check for traffic coming around curve.

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.

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!
