Quick trip

This property provided a perfect location and easy access to the points of interest. Fully stocked kitchen, however we used only a few cups and bowls during our stay. Linens were nice, house was very clean and plenty of room, there were 3 of us, all adults. We enjoyed sitting outside for a few hours one day. I would stay again!

Tin Mill

Property exactly as described. Very clean and cozy. We had everything we needed. Loved the layout of the house and all the outdoor seating options. Watched the sunrise on the east side of the house and the sunset on the west side. The grill was super nice and ate supper on the deck several nights. Great parking spaces for our truck, trailer and RZR. Appreciated the nice towels and the washer and dryer. It was hot out several days and the cabin stayed nice and cool. Close to downtown but still felt as if you were away from the hustle and bustle. We have already decided to stay here again when we come back next year!

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.

Wonderful Retreat

We did a “blue highways” road trip which ended in Hill City SD. We spent a week in this wonderful home on the top of a hill overlooking part of Hill City. The home of Marcia and Kim provided everything we needed plus more. The outdoor decking was wonderful, the communication with our host couple perfect. Did I mention the Osprey, deer, and industrious squirrels? Definitely a home to return to again.
