Gold Pan Hideaway
Gold Pan Hideaway – Downtown Hill City Townhome with Scenic Views
Strike it rich in comfort and convenience at Gold Pan Hideaway, a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath townhome perched above historic downtown Hill City, SD. Perfectly located in the heart of the Black Hills, this home offers panoramic views over Main Street and is just steps away from boutique shops, local dining, and rich gold-mining history.
Inside, you’ll find a cozy-yet-spacious layout with modern amenities. The open living area is perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration, with large windows that frame a hidden meadow with a patio that looks out over the downtown below. A fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to whip up breakfast before heading out, and two comfortable bedrooms ensure a restful night’s sleep (a queen bed and choice of two, twin XL beds OR a King bed).

You will park on an off street driveway and have access to one stall of the garage with a garage opener provided for your convenience. This is a lower level apartment with the walk out patio.

This place was home away from home. Cozy, had everything you would need or want. A great way to end the day to walk into town to get a bite to eat or stay in and enjoy a meal and a movie. As a person who has not done VRBO or trips in ages, Dennis was kind to answer my questions. The deer in the morning were a nice surprise and so was the garage space! Looking over the city in the morning and evening was peaceful. As a son and mother trip, this place checked off all the boxes and more. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to others and/or want to stay again. Hill City has a great vibe and 20 minutes away from Mt. Rushmore and close to Custer too!
The place was very clean and well stocked. It was nice to have a garage. Fresh baked goods to welcome us. Would stay here again. Thanks for making our vacation great.
Everything about this stay was excellent. This condo is beautiful inside and the view outside as well. Wildlife- turkeys, deer, visited. I would rent this condo again. Very close to downtown Hill City. Our host, Dennis, was friendly and kind.
This is a beautiful condo sitting on a hill overlooking the 1880’s Train in Hill City. The location is perfect and the condo is exceptionally well maintained and clean, with everything modern and new inside. We loved having this relaxing atmosphere so close to downtown but yet so quiet that deer were walking through the backyard as we sat on the patio. It was wonderful and we will be back!
