Fun place!

This is the coolest old house! It is quite large and would fit a huge group of people! Love the gas fireplace and the hot tub. Didn't use the fire pit but it looks awesome as well. Giant kitchen with everything you need. Hosts are amazing. Will definitely be back!

Family and outlaws

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 in HIll City, SD

This is a beautiful home. Great kitchen space. Very roomy, with nice dining room, 2 living rooms. Great for family get-togethers. We even had a dog with us and the yard was perfect for him. One of the bedrooms has a mattress that is very very firm, hard to sleep on and the home was a little chilly.....other than the family room with the fireplace, nice and cozy there. We enjoyed our stay and would consider renting the home again for a future stay.

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.
