These cabins made this trip to the hills one of our favorites. The location was perfect, allowing us to walk everywhere! We made a ton of friends at the patio/fire pit area that made the trip even better. We will definitely be back, especially to visit Maggie again!

Great find

Was a perfect location, very relaxing and away from busy chaos while still close to everything. Not a lot of space but everything you need. Management was wonderful. Would recommend.

Great location and great Host

Our cabin was only two blocks from downtown Hill City. Nestled in the hills amongst the wild life. The deer wandered around the Cabins as if they were pet's. Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park was amazing and just a short drive from the cabin. aforbetter host
