Great location. Property has a list of maintenance needs. We enjoyed our stay, but would not stay again because the tap water has a strong odor that smells like rotten eggs or like sulfur. If the water issue could be fixed, we would consider staying again. Three couples ages 69 to 81 stayed and we all were repulsed by the terrible smell of the tap water.

Everything went great. We had some small concerns, but the owners quickly came to fix them. Cell phone service is terrible, so get your door code before you lose service.

Nice Stay Near Hill City

Overall, we had a great stay at this house. The yard was big so it was nice for the kids to run around in, but it was hard to keep my toddler from going into the street (not too busy of a street but you got some traffic). The kitchen is downstairs with one bedroom, which was right by the patio area. This worked out well for us since my in-laws woke up earlier and liked to cook. The other three bedrooms are upstairs. We were surprised with the set-up but we didn’t mind it. We loved being so close to Hill City so we can run to a restaurant or a park. Overall it was a great stay!

Family vacation

The place was awesome it worked out perfect for six adults. We had a great time sightseeing the location was perfect for what we were doing. One of the couples was from Housten TX & just loved sitting outside at night enjoying the stars. The house was roomy for everyone to have their own privacy

Our time at Hill City Hideaway was great! Nice house, great view and quiet setting - and it was just a short drive from all of the black hills destinations we wanted to visit.

Christmas Trip

Our family really enjoyed that this property was centrally located to all the activities we wanted to do. The location made us feel right at home, the house was warm and cozy at night when we returned from our days adventure. This time of year was perfect for sight seeing because there weren’t any crowds, and the weather was nice for hiking.

Great experience

The location just cant be beat. The owners have made some upgrades since our last stay which are really nice. Kitchen, dining room, living room, bedroom and bathroom are on lower level. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with another living room on upper level. It accommodated us very well.

Amazing house and centrally located!

The house was so clean and the lay out was perfect! We had 3 family’s staying including 2 children and we felt we all had plenty of room! Only about 2 miles from Hill City and 15 minutes from Mount Rushmore! It is secluded and quiet and there was plenty of room for the kids to play in the yard! It was a beautiful home that we highly recommended renting! And we will definitely be back again!!

Spring Break Getaway

We loved the coziness of this property. It had everything we wanted…spacious kitchen, big table for dining and games, enough bedrooms and bathrooms for each of us, and spectacular views to name a few. The host was great at communicating the check-in procedure. This was the first time we’d ever stayed in and never left once we got into the rental!! We hibernated this time and were not looking forward to ending our trip’

Spring Break Getaway

This was the first time we’ve gotten a place in the Hills and stayed in the rental the entire time!! It was cozy, clean, and stocked with everything we needed. The beautiful snowy scene outside the windows were perfectly enhanced with the deer that wandered in each afternoon. We enjoyed 3 days of meal-making and game-playing! The host kept the communication open and had the driveway scooped for our arrival. Thank you for providing a very comfortable place for our winter getaway!

Great!

I normally do not write reviews, but this place definitely warrants one. We had a group of 6 there for a week and we all thought this property was exceptional. Very clean, the kitchen was stocked with the necessary utensils, two refrigerators made for easy food and drink storage (out of the coolers into the fridges). The living space inside is plentiful and comfy, but we barely used either living room because we were nearly always outside under one of the gazebos enjoying the beautiful weather we had, the scenery, and multiple deer in the yard every morning and evening. Only a couple minutes drive from Hill City, it is centrally located in the Black Hills. We would absolutely stay here again on our next visit.
