We had an outstanding stay at the cottage. It was exactly as described and had everything you need. It was very private and quiet which made for a very relaxing stay. The cottage was very close to all of the places we wanted to visit which allowed us to maximize our time in Hill City. Marcia was a wonderful host and was very responsive anytime we had a question. We use VRBO a lot in our travels and would highly recommend this property to anyone planning to visit this area of South Dakota. You will absolutely enjoy your stay.

This cabin is awesome! Plus the garage is an added benefit! Centrally located. Close to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park and Crazy Horse Monument! This was the second time we stayed in the cabin. An added plus is you get to hear the 1880 train and can see it go by right from the driveway!

OMG what a great place to stay. My husband and I stayed here in 2013, Me my daughter and granddaughter came this time. So close to all the areas to visit and then come home to rest up for the next day. Walking distance to town for shopping and eating. Thank you for a clean home with all the amenities. Hope to be back again someday Cindy

The location of this property was amazing! We spent 4 days exploring the whole area and this was such a peaceful place to stay for our first family vacation at the end of the day. My 2 year old loved watching the train feom the driveway come into town in the evening. The garage was a HUGE bonus for us as we took our bronco and had the top off so we were able to store it there and keep the car in there overnight so we didn't get rained on. Marcia was very responsive, even when she was out of town when we arrived. Kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom, was fully stocked which we appreciated as we made all of our meals there and on the grill. 10/10 would recommend this cabin to anyone staying in the area!

It was great reading your complimentary review. I'm pleased to be able to host you on your first family vacation! The garage is a huge amenity especially in this area that often gets hailstorms. I hope you will stay with again sometime in the future.
