We brought our own silverware, coffee maker and others, but at arrival notice that everything that we needed was there.

Christmas in the hills

Cabin was very nice big enough for everybody to get their own private area. Had about everything we needed for a nice hassle free stay, only regret as we didn't get to use all the cabin had to offer. First time we rented for family Christmas and it turned out wonderful.

We had a fabulous time. The cabin was gorgeous and had everything we needed. Beautiful scenery and plenty of room for everyone. The theater room was a bonus. And watching the horses run by when rounded up each morning was phenomenal.

Friends vacation.

Property has everything you need for a great vacation. Beautiful and nice location to the attractions we wanted to see. We traveled with 3 families and each of us had our own floor and bathroom which was nice ! We would come back again if we plan another trip to the hills ! Owner is good with communication which is greatly appreciated! Thanks for a great stay.

Spring break trip

House was as listed and had good room for 3 generations of family. Everything provide so only needed food and our clothing. Right on the Mickelson trail. Weather could have been better but not the fault of the property. Would rent again.

Class trip dream

I led a group of juniors in high school for their annual class trip. We could not have asked for more. The setting was idyllic. The cabin was in the perfect location to explore the beauty of South Dakota. Two thumbs way up!

Family Reunion

This was an excellent spot for our family reunion. We had family coming from as far as Washington/Oregon and Ohio. This was a great location for everyone to come together and relax and spend time together and also see some of the beautify of our country. I will note when we reserved the house the capacity was slightly different than the current allowable. We worked through it and it did not impact our stay. Matt the manager was great and very attentive to our needs. Without a doubt, we would stay here again!

A great location for accessing the area!

We had a great experience at the property. It's very convenient to Hill City, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, I could go on. Only thing that surprised us was a late Spring BLIZZARD (20 inches officially) that cut short some of our enjoyment of the Mickelson Trail. Even then the property team was quick to make sure snow was cleared and that we were ok during the blizzard. Great experience, would recommend.

Perfect!

This was the perfect landing zone for our Mt. Rushmore trip with family. We loved the hot tub, theater room, and especially the surrounding area. It was fun to go out and pet the horses as well as take a walk on the trail located just next to the cabin. The owners were very kind and made sure the lights and the heat were on when we checked in as it was late when we arrived and they made sure to come meet us and see if we were in need of anything. Everyone was very kind and the entire place was very clean. Highly suggest this place for families wanting to enjoy time together.

nice place for a large group

property seemed a little dated compared to the photos, but it was nice. We would definitely book again. The hose outside made it nice to clean out our radiators after a long day riding the dusty trails. No washer and dryer - so plan for that. Kitchen was pretty well equipped but no 9x13 baking pan.

Christmas in the Hills

This was a great house for our family Christmas. The living area and kitchen is a bit small for all the people we had. There are bedrooms and bathrooms on all 3 floors which is nice. The house and its furnishings are a bit dated. There are not a lot of utensils for cooking and gas grill is in need of repair. Matt was always there to help me other anything we asked. The hot tub was enjoyed by adults and children. It would be a great place in the summer because there is lots of space to enjoy the outdoors around the cabin and the Mickelson trail is right out the front door!

A piece of heaven on earth!

If you need to unplug from the daily grind, this cabin is the ultimate getaway!!! A beautiful scenery and a host that ensures you have everything that you need! The cabin is equipped with everything you need for preparing meals in the kitchen and has a gas grill as well. Plenty of room to eat inside(2 huge tables) or outside(picnic tables on the deck), whatever you prefer. We had a wintery stay with snow (some of the biggest flakes I've ever seen)and rain so we didn't get to use the firepit but it would be ideal and there are chairs and picnic tables for larger groups. We didn't have the greatest cell service or internet but we entertained ourselves with many games and movies that were provided in the cabin! For people who are on phones, computers, etc, everyday, it was nice to unplug and enjoy quiet time reading, watching movies and playing games. It allowed us to connect on a level that our every day lives do not.😉 The cabin is also located close to all the attractions, everything is within a 15-30 mile radius which was amazing! There are many great restaurants and stores in Hill City as well! Definitely an amazing spot no matter the size of your group! We definitely want to visit again and highly recommend these cabins and this host! Thank you, Matthew for sharing your little piece of heaven on earth with us! God Bless!
