Definitely a property to re-book in the future

property was great and very clean! we would stay again definitely! Mike and Dulce were great to work with also. (only suggestion is the sewage smell by the driveway might need to be fixed ) but that would not deter us from coming back as not only was the property GREAT, so were the 4-wheeling trails!

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.

It was everything we expected and more. We went backroad motorcycling in the Black Hills. This cabin was perfectly centrally located, clean and comfortable. The hosts had it fully furnished and they were very accommodating. Went the extra mile for us.

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.

A perfect stay

Our family had a great time staying in this cabin! It was extremely clean upon arrival and had so many thoughtful amenities, such as all the basic necessities like soap, towels, linens, paper towels, etc., as well as less thought of, but extremely helpful items, like fans, lighter/matches, extension cords, books, etc. Additionally, the cabin itself and the surrounding area was gorgeous. The cabin is spacious and the hilltop neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. Located in Hill City, it's very close to all the major attractions and it was easy to return to after a fun day of play. Overall, our stay in the cabin turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the trip. Very cozy, comfortable and relaxing. We are already excited to come back and visit again!

Very clean, great location

We really enjoyed the stay. If you follow the directions provided, you drive right to the cabin. It was very clean with a great back patio and deck which we took advantage of in the evenings. Hill City is about 5 minutes away and we went to the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. All easy drives. We'd stay here again.

Family trip to the Black Hills

This place is great! We had a really nice time at this cabin and it was absolutely perfect for our family of four. Our boys (4 & 7 years old) had a blast playing baseball in back yard and exploring the abundance of forest that surrounded us. The location of the cabin is perfect, just a few minutes outside of Hill City. We didn't know it but the location put us in the heart of everything with Rushmore, Custer, Jewel Cave, Reptile Gardens, Crazy Horse, etc. all just about a 20 minute drive away. We would definitely stay here again, cheers to Dulce & Mike for being great hosts!

Great place in Hill City

Communication with the host is A+! She was very helpful and fast to reply. The map she sent to get to the house was one of the most accurate I’ve ever seen, it was perfect. The house was immaculately clean and ready for our arrival. It had everything you’d need for a stay, all in great condition. I highly recommend this location and host if you’re in the area!

Very nice place to stay just not recommended for motorcycle or Rally lodging.

The property itself was beautiful however, the directions were misleading and rental was hard to find. Not motorcycle/non 4 wheel drive/trailer friendly. Due to the condition of road/goat path, we had to find off site bike parking in Hill City which added additional cost and inconvenience.

This place is very cool. Although it was a little bit of a challenge to find and get a trailer backed in. We had brought motorcycles and trying to park them safely was difficult, but a very nice property for sure!
