10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
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.

Home was fine. Four bedrooms on main floor and four bedrooms in the lower level. The home was clean and well furnished. Owners are very nice and easy to work with. We love the black hills and have stayed in this area half a dozen times over the past 20 years. Truly beautiful setting with hills and forest.
The listing indicates the home has air conditioning. We assumed this would mean central air. In reality, the home had a single unit in the loft bedroom. The remainder of the house is unairconditioned. Upon arrival, the AC was off and the home was incredibly hot. We spent the first 30 minutes looking for the AC only to realize the the unit in the loft was the sole AC for the home. The first level became incredibly hot if the doors were closed to the bedrooms. This was particularly a issue as the last two days we stayed were in the 90's. We had our grandsons with (ages 4 & 1) and trying to get them to nap during the day was next to impossible without closing them in a bedroom and it getting warm and stuffy. We had to sleep on the first floor with our doors open all night which meant when the youngest grandson awoke at 6am each morning, everyone on the first level and loft were awake. The downstairs bedrooms were our sons and their spouses were was more tolerable with the use of floor fans, but very humid.
We ended up spending far too much time and effort to make sure the house stayed "comfortable" during our stay. This would be an ideal property any other time rather than the middle of summer.
