LOVED Allen Gulch in Hill City SD

Lovely cabin property with enough of a “rustic, woodland” feel yet located 2 blocks off the main town area. The tap room and Aunt Maggie were a fun added bonus.

Location, Location! This was walkable to the town. Check in was very easy. Clean. Coffee Keurig was provided. Loved having front porch with chairs. Backyard had fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and even an outdoor bar. Maggie the bartender. It was fantastic. Towels were a little small, but had plenty. Great cabin.
