Great Fun in the Black Hills!

Thank you so much, we had a great time staying at your Cabin! The property was spacious, updated, clean, family friendly and beautiful, it had so much room for my kiddos to run around and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of the “Forrest!” Perfect location to my”Grammy” for a weekend getaway Black Hills adventure

Best Stay in our History of VRBO

Beautiful location with well maintained property. It was exceptionally well cleaned and stocked. The absolute best hosts we've ever had. Mike and Dulce went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience (pre frozen beer mugs, fresh eggs, ground coffee). The forethought they put into their guests visits is truly amazing.

Peaceful getaway!

Loved the location, far enough out of Hill City for some privacy but close drive back to town and also the trails! House was perfect for us and the hosts were very responsive! Will definitely stay again.

This place was perfect for our trip. Myself, my daughter, and a long time friend and his daughter spent labor day weekend here. It was centrally located and near everything you could imagine to find in the black hills. We did side by sides on the trails, road horses at high country trail rides "5 min away", and explored Needles highway and all the main attractions. The house itself feels bigger than the pictures show. It was very clean and very well stocked. It is very private and the back yard leads to endless forest. The hosts make the process so easy and communicate better than any host I've had on VRBO. They even gifted us farmlaid eggs and fresh ground beef! I really can't speak highly enough about this property and the hosts. Thank you for your hospitality, next time I visit the black hills this property will be my first choice!

Great location just outside of Hill City. Host was easy to reach and very helpful. Plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out and having two bathrooms was great. Would stay there again!

Quiet, relaxed setting

Cabin was just what our family needed for our vacation in South Dakota. Room to spread out yet come together for meals and family games or discussion. Area was quiet and away from traffic yet close to the activities we wanted to do. Lindsey answered any questions we had. Great vacation!

A true Black Hills experience

First off you could not ask for better hospitality, Mike and Dulcy went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. The cabin is in a perfect location away from the busy highways and offers a wonderful relaxing place to enjoy the true beauty of the Black Hills. This was our second summer staying in the Cozy Cabin in the Hills and it just keeps getting better as Mike and Dulcy continue to make it more enjoyable every year.

Awesome Experience

We had a great time at the property. Check in was super easy. It was very clean, had lots of fun games for the kids, and was in an excellent location. The loft was great for our big kids but I wouldn’t recommend it for children under 8-9. The stairs are extremely steep. Overall we really had a great experience staying here.

Hospitality 10/10 would recommend

Communication with the hosts was amazing, friendly and prompt. Dulce had inquired when we booked if we had any special reason for our trip and I indicated that my daughter just graduated and her birthday would be during our trip. When we arrived there was a graduation and Birthday balloon with sparkling grape juice and chocolate and a birthday/graduation card. Farm fresh eggs, fresh ground filet and a bottle of Moscato for the grown ups. What a great surprise for all of us. Everything was clean and everything is available one would need to make meals and avoid restaurant meals three times a day. The location is a bit outside of Hill City but easy to reach. There is a drive on gravel, but very well maintained. Being in Hill City is the perfect starting point for any day trips around the Hills. This was a perfect family vacation. If there is another trip to the Black Hills in our future we would definitely stay here again.

This cabin was tucked away in the mountains. We loved the peace the nature and woods brought us. The cabin was very clean & the house supplies were good quality. The owners did not skip out on anything. They even provided fresh food supplies for us! They provided maps/brochures for all the adventures that surrounded us! Check in and check out process was easy! I’d HIGHLY recommend and love to go back!

Property was fantastic! Great location in a quiet neighborhood and still close to Hill City. The house had great amenities and perfect setup for 3 couples during our side by side trip. We were able to get 2 trailers parked in the driveway. We missed having Wi-Fi in the house (overlook on my part) but ended up being great to unplug for a few days
