Good location

House was lovely, lots of room, and a fairly well-appointed kitchen. Worked out well for our group. Having the big electric griddle there was a Plus! Pancakes for 11 people for breakfast really worked out well! Highly recommend. House was well-located just out of Hill City, so convenient to lots of the Black Hills attractions.

perfect place for groups

We loved the quiet country location. This cabin was great for our family to gather. We had some singles and some couples and there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. It would have been nice to have some bigger cookware for cooking for a group.

We enjoyed the property. There were 20 of us, 3 generations. We played games on the big lawn and biked the trail. We had plenty of beds.However, other rentals we have enjoyed we're more generous in supplies. We had to buy toilet paper and paper towels. The coffee pot didn't work, the electric griddle had no cord, we had to do laundry to provide clean washcloths and hand towels.
