Hill City Bungalow - Great location

After being on the road and staying in remote areas and VRBOs, my family and I all agreed that, while the street view of the bungalow didn't quite compare to staying in Teton Valley or Jim Mountain, it was also REALLY nice to be able to open the front door and walk to dinner and shopping. Additionally, it was so nice to be within 20 minutes of Mt. Rushmore, Needles Highway, etc. Location is great for those reasons.The interior of the bungalow is super cute. And, it had everything we needed as far as sitting space and the ability to spread out. The basement accommodations, however, were a bit dank. And, there was nowhere to put our "stuff" without it being out in the open. Most VRBOs have drawers, dressers, a closet, etc. But, the basement area was VERY limited. Also, it was cold and we killed about five spiders. So, our reflexes are better.The kitchen is fabulous.The ice machine is AMAZING. But, as a baking family, we couldn't find a baking sheet or a cake pan. Outdoor space was GREAT. We used the hot tub and it's the perfect size for four-ish people. I am not a fan of hot tubs that have a zillion features that are difficult to figure out and are so big that we end up yelling over the jets in an attempt to hear each other. So, we were loving the size and ease. Normally, we don't look under the furniture, but we were trying to find game pieces. And, the cleaning crew is OBVIOUSLY not cleaning under the furniture. Surfaces are clean. Bathrooms are clean.

Spacious and lovely 1929 home

The house is a 1929 charmwr that has been well decorated. It has tons of space for large group, everything was well stocked, the back yard was wonderful for the dogs and the hot tub was a treat after long motorcycle rides. Very convenient location to shops and restaurants.

Great location in Hill City

This is a unique property in the center of Hill City. It has lots of room, a well stocked kitchen, an attractive backyard complete with hammock and hot tub, and plenty of bedrooms for a larger group. There is also a new game room that we enjoyed. The check-in process was easy, and the host was responsive to our questions. We were able to walk to all attractions in Hill City, and the Mickelson Bike trail is only a block and a half away. There is sufficient parking for several cars and ample storage for bikes. We hope to be back for a future visit!

Fall Family Getaway

The house was perfect for our extended family trip. There was plenty of room for our 3 small families to have privacy, but a lot of common areas. We loved the walkability into town. There are many great restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries in town. The hot tub was fantastic at the end of the day after outings. Central location in the Hills was great. Most places we went were no longer than 30 minute drives.

We had a great stay here…plenty of room and a short walk to shops and restaurants. House is older, but has some updates and everything you need. Fenced in yard was great for our dog…fireplace was great. Hill City is a great spot to explore everything in the Black Hills from, and this was a great spot to stay for our trip.

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.

Well located, comfortable and cozy Hill City house

We very much enjoyed this homey, comfortable house with it's secure and pleasant yard as well as the gracious hospitality of our hosts. The kitchen is large and well equipped and there is ample seating at the good sized dining room table. We thoroughly appreciated the Custer State Park pass and made great use of it almost daily in our week stay. Sitting in the hot tub under starry skies in the private yard was really a treat after the day's explorations. And having multiple, inviting couches for conversation or watching movies in the evening was great for our small family group and would be even better for larger. Fencing is secure if your dog is traveling with you and it is just a short walk to restaurants and shops. A great home base for Black Hills adventure.
