The charming town of Hill City has plenty of activities to keep you busy, from sampling local cuisine to browsing the unique shops. One must-do activity is riding the 1880 Train, a historic steam-powered locomotive that takes you on a scenic journey through the Black Hills National Forest.

Fall Family Getaway
The house was perfect for our extended family trip. There was plenty of room for our 3 small families to have privacy, but a lot of common areas. We loved the walkability into town. There are many great restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries in town. The hot tub was fantastic at the end of the day after outings. Central location in the Hills was great. Most places we went were no longer than 30 minute drives.

A Great Spot
We had a great stay here…plenty of room and a short walk to shops and restaurants. House is older, but has some updates and everything you need. Fenced in yard was great for our dog…fireplace was great. Hill City is a great spot to explore everything in the Black Hills from, and this was a great spot to stay for our trip.

Cozy little house with convenient parking within walking distance of everything in Hill City. This kitchen is better equipped then mine. Has wine fridge, ice machine, big fridge, nice cook top and oven and dishwasher that works well. Lots of space for relaxing and games. Boys enjoyed football on tv.

Christmas
The house was nice. Room with the fireplace was the warmest, all other rooms were chilly. Bedroom connected to the bathroom, bed in that room is very very hard….couldn’t sleep on that mattress and had to figure out how and where else to sleep. The upstairs was nice, but cold during the night. We would consider renting the house again.

Awesome property
Overall a great property in a cute town. Walking distance to many great restaurants and close to so many great outdoor gems such as Custer State Park, Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Devils Tower, Wind Cave & Jewel Cave National Parks. Great kitchen and outdoor hot tub. Must stay in the Black Hills.

Well located, comfortable and cozy Hill City house
We very much enjoyed this homey, comfortable house with it's secure and pleasant yard as well as the gracious hospitality of our hosts. The kitchen is large and well equipped and there is ample seating at the good sized dining room table. We thoroughly appreciated the Custer State Park pass and made great use of it almost daily in our week stay. Sitting in the hot tub under starry skies in the private yard was really a treat after the day's explorations. And having multiple, inviting couches for conversation or watching movies in the evening was great for our small family group and would be even better for larger. Fencing is secure if your dog is traveling with you and it is just a short walk to restaurants and shops. A great home base for Black Hills adventure.
