Black Hills Family Vacation

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location was perfect. The property is secluded while still being within walking distance to downtown Hill City. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The space was the perfect size for my wife and I and our four kids (ages 7-11). We will definitely stay here again!

Instructions for both check in and check out were very easy and straight forward. Kim and Marcia are very organized and easy to communicated with. The cabin was incredibly clean, cozy and spacious. The cabin sits in a convenient location just above the town but feels like your in your own little slice of heaven. We really enjoy the beautiful Black Hills and will be returning again.
