These cabins made this trip to the hills one of our favorites. The location was perfect, allowing us to walk everywhere! We made a ton of friends at the patio/fire pit area that made the trip even better. We will definitely be back, especially to visit Maggie again!

Great location and great Host

Our cabin was only two blocks from downtown Hill City. Nestled in the hills amongst the wild life. The deer wandered around the Cabins as if they were pet's. Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park was amazing and just a short drive from the cabin. aforbetter host

We had a wonderful stay in Hill City! The location was perfect for exploring all the major attractions in the Black Hills, including Deadwood, Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Needles Highway, and Custer State Park. It was also convenient for shopping and dining in town. The cabin was within walking distance of Main Street, which made it easy to enjoy the local shops and restaurants without needing to drive. Overall, this was a great place to stay—comfortable, convenient, and ideally located for sightseeing. We would definitely stay here again!
