The host was very helpful and responsive. The home was nice and the property was lovely, especially the creek which my kids loved exploring. Great location just outside Hill City and a short drive to Keystone.
Beautiful and very comfortable home. I appreciated that the host provided coffee and filters. That was an excellent touch.Communication with the host was great. They got back to me right away whenever I had questions.Highly recommend this property
Such a wonderful place to stay. You’re away from everything but very close to town. It’s really perfect There are ATVs that drive by but they don’t start until around 9 My husband and I are early risers and could sit on the deck (which also has electric outlets for my coffee warmer) and enjoy the morning, listen to the birds, watch the chipmunks, listen to the creek and just enjoy Gods creation. The perfect way to start the day. It does have alot of stairs which they show in the pictures We are older and opted to stay in the middle floor bedroom to avoid some stairs. That worked perfect for us Melissa was very easy to communicate with. WiFi worked great If we return to South Dakota we will hopefully be able to stay here!

Thank you for the kind words. Thank you for choosing our property for your stay. I love to hear about people enjoying the deck. You know you’re on vacation when you can sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature! Hope to have you back!
Nice, quiet location that is off the beaten path. Enjoyed sitting at the table on the deck and taking in the beautiful scenery. The location is central to the Black Hills and many interesting sights.
We were able to go to all the surrounding areas to view the sights and hike around, then return here for a secluded, peaceful night sleep! It had everything we needed- listening to the river each morning while drinking coffee was my favorite! Thanks for a great family stay! My kids (7&9) loved the bunk beds and bridges!
Check in was easy. She sent me a lock box location and code before arrival. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils which was nice since we ate in for our breakfast and dinners.
The property was very clean & quiet. It was the perfect place to base our Side by Side adventures out of. Parking is very restricted though. Our Ford Ranger & 16 ft trailer BARELY made it across the bridge. Other than that our stay was amazing.
Beautiful property. Great location for all the Black Hills tourist destinations. Melissa responded quickly to messages. Would definitely recommend this property.
Very nice place. Parking was a little difficult as we had 2 vehicles pulling ATVs. Think about a new mattress in upstairs bedroom. Soo hard. All in all a good time
We loved the location of this property. Off the beaten path but close to many activities. My favorite thing was the live creek running through the property.

Relaxing home base
Great place for our family to come home to. Our kids were asking to have time just hanging out in the house. We especially loved opening the windows and listening to the creek run past. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great location!
This perfect location was a perfect escape! The house was well supplied with anything you may need including laundry supplies and dishes and cooking supplies for the kitchen. It was a great home away from home and our kids were so happy they didn't notice there was no wi-fi! It was a successful family stay.
Great location for us. 2 couples over 60 years of age.
Close to Hill City and Rapid City and Keystone.
The train and ATV rentals available in Hill City were fun and the restaurants were good. We enjoyed the house.
My two sisters and I stayed at this cozy cabin for a "sisters' weekend." We loved the secluded location, coziness, decor, space, and layout! We brought four-wheelers/quads and a dirt bike along and enjoyed the close proximity to riding trails, beautiful scenery, and wildlife of the Black Hills. The stream a short distance from the house was an added bonus! We would definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Melissa Nelson
We love riding motorcycles around the Black Hills and were looking for a home that we could stay in while riding, or visiting with our family then rent when we are not there. We found many homes but most were on gravel. This property is on a paved road that also gives us the peacefulness of the Black Hills. The creek in the front yard was the deal maker for us. We enjoy our time just the two of us and also when we bring our 4 grown children to visit. Come visit God's country.
