About this property

Gold Mill

Summary:

Enjoy evenings on the private covered deck or walk to the nearby restaurants, galleries, pubs, and shopping.



The Space:

Enjoy evenings on the private covered deck or walk to the nearby restaurants, galleries, pubs, and shopping. This lovely town home is within walking distance to downtown Hill City; yet privately situated with plenty of room to unwind. Being just minutes to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park and millions of acres of Black Hills National Forest, makes this a great place to relax after a long day of site seeing. If you're in the area for adventure, this home is right by Deerfield Road, which will take you to miles and miles of Forest Service roads, ATV/UTV/snowmobile specific trails, Deerfield Lake for fishing, and hiking in the Black Hills National Forest. Guests will love this two level home featuring a full gourmet kitchen, double car garage, laundry facilities, BBQ grill, and covered deck.



The Gold Mill is located in a beautiful tree surrounded neighborhood with views of the downtown and access to the Mickelson Trail with zero gravel to the home. There is also a little lake within walking distance of the Gold Mill with fish in it, Sheridan Lake is 5 miles away for more fishing, and Custer State Park is 12 miles away. With everything so convenient in one lovely package, it's perfect for your Black Hills vacation!



Please Note:

No RV's or campers are allowed to be parked in this neighborhood at any time. There is also no off street parking in this neighborhood. All vehicles must be able to park in the garages or on the concrete in front of the garages. This home also has a parking spot for trailers next to it. Ask us about additional parking if needed.



If you have a larger group or reunion, you can also reserve the Prospector which is the attached town home for $50 off per night. It also sleeps 8 people and has the option for an adjoining deck space.

Great place

Great place to stay, we've stayed here several times. The living room furniture isn't the coziest but it works!
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2017
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr 2020
Thank you for sharing a review. We are happy that you have stayed with us several times and look forward to a repeat stay. For just two people, the long living room probably isn't as cozy as you would prefer. However, for full capacity (8 people) we need to provide furniture including the futon for adequate seating and sleeping space. For others contemplating a stay here, the living room furniture consists of a love seat recliner, two other recliners and the futon sleeper. Your comments give us reason to consider other options that might make the living room better: We are contemplating replacing the futon with a regular sofa and provide two fold away beds so that we can still accommodate up to 8 people for sleeping. Thanks for helping us plan for ways we can improve our accommodations! Marcia

It was great having you visit over the 4th of July holiday and that you got to see our "little town parade!" Our red 1960 Impala is a joy to have in parades and short tours in the Hills. We hope you can come back again someday in the future.
