perfect place for groups

We loved the quiet country location. This cabin was great for our family to gather. We had some singles and some couples and there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. It would have been nice to have some bigger cookware for cooking for a group.

Hill City stay for Crazy Horse Run

We booked this place for our stay in Hill City the weekend of the Crazy Horse Run. We had a large group of adults running the half marathon and this was the perfect size and location for our needs! There were so many rooms and beds which allowed for everyone to get a room to themselves which left us all well rested and ready for the race! It is also located right along the Mickelson Trail which was cool. 10/10 would recommend!

We enjoyed the property. There were 20 of us, 3 generations. We played games on the big lawn and biked the trail. We had plenty of beds.However, other rentals we have enjoyed we're more generous in supplies. We had to buy toilet paper and paper towels. The coffee pot didn't work, the electric griddle had no cord, we had to do laundry to provide clean washcloths and hand towels.

Awesome Stay

I planned this trip/stay as a Christmas gift to myself/husband/children/grandchildren. The home had room for 20, we only had 15, but the house was large enough for us all and space to get away, if it became to noisy. We didn't spend a whole lot of time outside, as the weather was several degrees below freezing and didn't snow, so sledding was out and being outside in general was out! The home is well stocked as to cooking utensils, pots, pans, plates, classes, coffee pot, even a crock pot! A huge frig, was a plus with 15 people. The grandkids could run in circles around the center (had a loft) and wore them out! If I could give 10 stars, I would! We hope to go back in the Summer when we can actually do something outside!

Large family gathering

We had a group of 20 adults, teens, and children. There were plenty of beds for us all. The layout was great with basically 2 bedrooms sharing a bathroom. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of silverware and dishes for a big family. Nice to have the dishwasher. We had plenty of dishwasher tabs. Loved having the washer and dryer on site for laundry. Linens were nice. It says that it has A/C and it does have 2 window units but no central air. It was a little stuffy over night when we closed the bedroom doors. A couple nights we were able to open the windows at night when it cooled off which really helped. The 2 window units kept it plenty cool for everyone even on the 95 degree day. Would stay here again.

Good location

House was lovely, lots of room, and a fairly well-appointed kitchen. Worked out well for our group. Having the big electric griddle there was a Plus! Pancakes for 11 people for breakfast really worked out well! Highly recommend. House was well-located just out of Hill City, so convenient to lots of the Black Hills attractions.
