The house was picture perfect and we were greeted by some beautiful deer as we arrived. The warm morning with the open beautuful door to soak up the sun, an easy walk to the store, a hike in the snow and ice up Black Elk Trail, and a soak at Moccasin Hot Springs made for the perfect stay. Home away from home.
I had so much fun the first time I came back a few weeks later with a different friend and my spouse to share this beautiful area. Many thanks to Dan for making everything so comfortable and easy.
New property with a great lay out and room sizes. Beautiful location being centralized in the Black Hills and fun for the kids to see whitetail deer walking around the yard and neighborhood.
This property was great! It is new, clean and a great location. Can't say anything that needs improvements! It isn't super large but the back yard patio is great . . you can walk to most places if you choose to. Thanks for having us as your guests!
Great property! Great location! Absolutely everything we did/might have needed was supplied for us! Very clean and modern. We were within walking distance of downtown and all the sights were just short drives. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to visit the Black Hills area!
Stayed here 4 nights with my wife and two teenage daughters. This place was perfect. Walking distance to downtown Hill City and a great central location for exploring the Black Hills. Nothing at all bad to say about the property. Check in/check out was smooth. Got to meet the owners who were very friendly. 6/5 stars!
Rental is very well appointed with good wifi, dishwasher, washer and dryer, propane grill, tv with streaming service and accessible hdmi if you want to attach a device. A nice deck and right on Mickelson trail. The only shortcoming was there are no dressers to unload your suitcase into.
The Hill City Hideaway is absolutely the best location to stay. You are within walking distance of restaurants, attractions, and the best brewery in the Black Hills. The home is tranquil for sleeping. In the morning, we had deer grazing next to the Mickelson trail in the backyard to enjoy with our coffee. The Nabers are friendly. The owners are super nice. One of the best parts for use was having a garage to keep all the bikes in and the central location to do everything there is to do in the Black Hills.
We were a group of three adult couples in town for the Mickelson Trail Trek. The ride was great and the weather wasn’t bad either. Plenty of good restaurants to choose from and we ate at many of them. Our accommodations were pretty much what we expected as we didn’t spend a lot of time at the house. It was just the right size and the only downside was the loft and steep narrow steps. Even though we had three vehicles with bike racks to park, there was plenty of room. I met one of the neighbors and he was interested in meeting his temporary neighbors. We also had deer visit the back yard every night. Thank you, Doug and family
Stayed in this VRBO with 2 friends from work for 4 nights. We each had our own bedroom (how ideal is that!). Modern, clean and in a great location. We loved everything about our stay! Plenty of towels, 1 full bath and one powder room. Laundry, dishwasher, AC, everything! Lovely backyard patio with nightly visits by young deer.
Great communication with our host, Dan. Highly recommend Dan & Jessies place! And especially, I recommend using Hill City as a base for visiting the Black Hills
We visit the Black Hills every Memorial Day weekend and usually stay out of town. This cute little place may have changed our perspective. Being right in town and on the Mickelson Trail was the perfect mix of town and country! We LOVED being able to open up the roll up door off the kitchen and enjoy fresh air while eating and playing games. There were deer and other wildlife to see every day. Bathrooms and shower appear to be brand new. The main bath has a door between the shower and the toilet vanity which is super convenient. It was rainy all weekend, but our super close proximity to the Trail meant we could take advantage when it did so raining a bit. There is also a fun little fishing hole within walking distance! Overall we had a wonderful time and will definitely return to this wonderful little Hideaway!
Property with beautiful view and central location in Hill City! Love the uniqueness of the glass garage door in the dining area. The property was spectacularly clean and very cozy. The morning sunshine was glorious. There were games and books for all ages. Sleeping in the loft area is challenging for anyone who needs darkness as the days are long in summer. The loft stairs are steep but also about 4 in deep. We went with young children and they did not like the train sounds throughout the daytime, the latest train around 7/7:30 at night. For older children the train going by often was fantastic to see so often. I would caution with children 2 and under due to concrete floors and open outlets. They did have a baby gate for the loft stairs. We loved the walking distance to everything including great coffee and trail. Overall a great property. The heating and cooling were a bit tricky overall.
