Old Town Cottage

This is our second time staying at the cottage. The owners updated the living room furniture and kitchen appliances which was a great improvement. The location to Hill City is great. The house is perfect for our needs. There is a detached 2 car garage that I was able to but my 2500 Chevy truck and motorcycle into. This is a huge plus for us with the weather that can pop up in the hills. We will stay here again.

Perfection!

Although we spent most of our time with family that live in Hill City, this cabin was the perfect place to retreat from the reunion! Comfortable bed, extremely clean and the location is absolutely perfect. Will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

South Dakota Gem

This cottage was wonderful! It was the perfect location with easy access to everything that we were doing during our four-night stay in South Dakota! We loved the back patio...my husband enjoyed reading there each evening. It was so quiet and peaceful! We were greeted by seven deer our first night when we returned to the cottage after dinner. We loved riding on the 1880's train and enjoyed the sound of the whistle blowing during our stay.So much attention to detail, and there wasn't one thing that we needed that wasn't available!! We had trouble getting the TV to work our first night, and the owner was so responsive to our text in resolving the issue...even though she was traveling! If we're ever in the area again, we would DEFINITELY stay here...without a doubt!!

Great Location - Great Cottage

Hill City is a great "Heart of the Hills" location. The Old Town Cottage was in town but felt like out in the hills. Very good communications with property manager. Likely stay there on our next trip to the area.

Loved the location. Onnthe edge of town, yet it felt like we were in a remote location. The cabin was nice, and very comfortable. We will definately rent again if we come back to the Hills.
