About this property

Cozy Cabin in the Hills

Sunset Trails Cabin was updated for the 2022 season and under new management. The cabin has 3 bedrooms with queen beds on a split level (the loft is no longer in use). One bedroom leads to a large deck with a beautiful view. It has two 3/4 bathrooms, full kitchen, gas fireplace, deck with gas grill, and a washer and dryer. Sunset Trails is located 5 minutes from Hill City on roughly 1.5 miles of gravel road (guests on motorcycles please take note of the gravel road). Its walking distance from the Mickelson Trail and about 20 minutes from Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse. For those of you that like to stay connected you do have cell service here and we just added Wi-Fi!! Cell service is spotty in some areas so please pull up the map and directions before heading to the house. This home is in a neighborhood so those of you that bring ATV/UTVs please be considerate of the road and the neighbors.

Everything was exactly as advertised. Hosts were extremely helpful and definitely went above and beyond when we had some vehicle issues. Location is great for any kind of trails you’re looking for, can hop right on the trails from the cabin and go any direction. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return if we come back to the area!

We marked this as a favorite stat and hope to return soon! Don’t let the “cozy” fool you—this is a spacious getaway with three bedrooms, two beautiful tiled bathrooms, a large tv and a couch that seats 6 and has 4 recliners. We also loved sitting outside on the deck and watching deer in the morning and evening. Close to Hill City if you need to run into town, but far enough out to be quiet and cozy. Honestly, it was so relaxing that we ended up staying at our home base during this family trip than we might have otherwise. Full kitchen with everything you need. I was impressed that one cupboard had only plastic cups and small bowls if you have toddlers along. Super clean! Washer and dryer onsite, too. Mike and Dulce were excellent hosts, communicated well & have the gift of hospitality!

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.
