About this property

Great value! Great location! Located walking distance to downtown Hill City!

Beautifully updated home in the perfect location for exploring the Black Hills and Hill City! Walk downtown or hop on the 110 mile Mickelson trail system just a few blocks from the house! You will be delighted by the clean, bright open space and low cleaning fee!

With a modern kitchen, two queen bedrooms and two bathrooms, this vacation home is perfect for a family or two couples that want to enjoy all that the Black Hills have to offer and relax and enjoy the evenings.

This home boasts an additional bonus area with futon, washer and dryer, two sitting areas and a large back deck with gas grill.

The Villa is located just up the hill from the 1880 steam train depot and museum. You can wave at the tourists on the train as it rolls into the station but rest assured, the train won’t wake you from your slumber. It only runs a few times a day and is barely heard from inside the house! It’s sure to be a highlight of your stay!

The Villa is not a good fit for large groups or anyone traveling with a big rig (off street parking is required by the city-please inquire before booking if you have a camper, trailer, etc.).

This rental is for the entire main floor of the home. A basement with completely separate entrance is not included in this rental and is reserved for use by owners.

This home is equipped with security camera directed towards the front door.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

It was a lovely home with plenty of room and everything we needed for our group. It’s just a short walk to the main street with lots of cute stores. As a bonus we had daily visits of deer, wild turkeys and a neighborhood cat.

House was immaculately clean; with ample parking for our two vehicles. The kitchen was open, bright and honestly the best stocked we’ve ever experienced! Fabulous location in central hills served as an excellent “base” allowing to visit SD sites in northern and southern hills!

The property was very well appointed and met all of our needs. The location is ideal for the purposes of our trip, which included hiking and biking. The property is located away from the main streets, so is nice and quiet, but is within easy walking distance of restaurants and other attractions in Hill City.

We’ve been a part of the Hill City community since 2020 and appreciate the small town atmosphere paired with excellent dining, scenery and entertainment.
