Such a great stay in the Hills!

This was our first stay at Connie’s cabin, and we absolutely loved it! She was so helpful with answering questions before we arrived, and she was available if we needed anything during our stay. The location is perfect for riding UTV trails and hitting up all of the other Black Hills attractions. Hope to stay again someday!

Came here for a weekend away to ride our UTVs in the hills. The location was great and had adequate parking for our large trailer. Connie and Jeff were very pleasant and helpful with lots of suggestions for anything you can imagine in the area. The house is as-pictured and had a great place for the guys to hang out and watch movies every night. Loved the property and may make this place a part of our annual trip to the hills. The animals are fun, but beware of the rooster crowing in the morning :) Thanks, Connie and Jeff!

Mountain Biking Trip

Can not overstate how positive the experience was for 8 fifty year old bike riders. Along with plenty of room in the cabin, Connie was very accommodating for the entire trip. The cabin can easily entertain all ages from children to adults.

Amazing place

We stayed at this wonderful home with our family of 5 and another family of 4. It could not have been a better place for all involved. The kids loved the farm animals (the adults did too), the gold run stream, the hot tub and the game room. The adults loved the quietness and beauty of the location, the hot tub, the Blackstone (!!!), and seeing the kids enjoy themselves playing around the property. Connie and Jeff are great hosts!

Great House & Great Location

The property was just as described in the listing. The house was clean, orderly, not overcrowded and had great amenities. The location was quiet & peaceful and we really enjoyed the small farm animals. Yard games, hot tub, Blackstone grill etc. We brought bikes, kayaks and fishing gear and had a great time. Connie was a great host.

Beautiful home/Perfect location

The home was absolutely beautiful. We took advantage of the deck at night and enjoyed the deer coming right up to the house. The location was perfect for easily accessing the trails and lake. We enjoyed visiting with the owners of the property. They gave us great information regarding scenic trails. We also enjoyed the barn and the animals. We can't wait to go back. Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed.

Memorable Family Vacation

It was a great place to stay to make many family memories. We were able to go out early in the day and explore the Black Hills area and return later and enjoy the peaceful acreage. The deer roaming the area were fun to watch and my grand children really enjoyed the farm animals. We also spent time in the game room with some intense family competition. Relaxing in the hot tub was very nice too. Would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the area! Loved it! Thank you Connie and Jeff for having us!

Middle of Nowhere

We stayed for 4 days (4 adults & 4 teenagers) The property was amazing. Super clean, well organized and Connie is “right there” to help you if you have any questions. Our kids loved the game room and it gave them a great spot to unwind when we got back from exploring. We made breakfast every morning on the black-stone and enjoyed the hot tub every evening. If i could give any advice to other traveler’s, for those coming through Hill City- STOP and get groceries before check in. The house is 30 minutes from Hill City, which is perfect, unless your hungry.

Black Hills slice of paradise

From the get go Connie was AMAZING! As soon as we parked we were greeted with a friendly smile and a tour of the animals. Connie made us feel like family and her property and animals were perfect for our kids. They loved gathering eggs everyday and checking on all the animals! Connie was a wealth of knowledge and suggested incredible fun family outings that weren’t advertised! House was incredible and that porch is perfect for morning coffee! So peaceful. Highly recommended or not ;) that way it wouldn’t be booked for our return trip!

Fantastic Getaway!

This property was the perfect getaway for our South Dakota vacation. We went to Mt Rushmore, hiked on trails along the Needles Highway, did exploring and Jeeping in and around the trails in the Black Hills and when we returned to the house it was always so accommodating and equipped for us to do whatever we needed to do to complete our day and get ready for the next day, including relaxing in the awesome hot tub!! We also loved the game room and the open areas in the house including the TV and recliners in the living room. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed for preparing meals. We also loved the chickens, goats, kitties and Eeyore the donkey! The next time we come to South Dakota we will definitely return to this excellent house!!!

Best "Heart of the Hills" Stay with UTV riding

The owners of this property are, in my opinion, two of the kindest people you can ever meet. Our 3 generation family vacation (total of 6 people) was one of, if not the best to date, vacation we have had, and it directly relates to the amazing property and owners of the property. The house and location were fantastic. The amenities, superb. Most of our trip was spent UTV riding, and it was a perfect location for us. The owners even led us out on one of their favorite loops to Flag Mountain, and was very much worth it. Our kids (9 & 7) fell in love with the animals on the property, and they loved being able to pitch in with chores. That alone made the stay worth it, everything else was icing on the cake. 10 out of 10 would recommend this property for any family.
