    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.

    Misleading Listing - AC Situation Unacceptable for the PriceWe recently stayed at this cabin in Hill City and had mixed feelings about the experience. on the positive side, the cabin was a great size for our group, the beds were good, and the location was ideal - close to attractions and a peaceful location. However, we were disappointed by the misleading description regarding air conditioning. The listing stated the cabin had A/C, but in reality, there were only two window units. One in the loft and one in the kitchen area. The bedrooms had no air conditioning at all, and we couldn't even close the bedroom doors at night for privacy without them becoming so hot that you could not stay in the room, it was hot enough with the door open. The lower level of the cabin had no AC whatsoever, making it extremely uncomfortable for anyone sleeping down there. There were not ceiling fans in all of the rooms. The basement also was super humid and had a musty smell. Everyone in our group which included small children had difficulty sleeping due to the heat and it really effected the quality of our stay and vacation as everyone was exhausted from limited sleep due to the heat. Temps were 85. For the price we paid, we expected much better. The listing should clearly state that there is no central air and that only limited window units are available. Had we known this, we would have chosen a different property.

    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.

    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.

    I planned this trip/stay as a Christmas gift to myself/husband/children/grandchildren. The home had room for 20, we only had 15, but the house was large enough for us all and space to get away, if it became to noisy. We didn't spend a whole lot of time outside, as the weather was several degrees below freezing and didn't snow, so sledding was out and being outside in general was out! The home is well stocked as to cooking utensils, pots, pans, plates, classes, coffee pot, even a crock pot! A huge frig, was a plus with 15 people. The grandkids could run in circles around the center (had a loft) and wore them out! If I could give 10 stars, I would! We hope to go back in the Summer when we can actually do something outside!

    We booked this place for our stay in Hill City the weekend of the Crazy Horse Run. We had a large group of adults running the half marathon and this was the perfect size and location for our needs! There were so many rooms and beds which allowed for everyone to get a room to themselves which left us all well rested and ready for the race! It is also located right along the Mickelson Trail which was cool. 10/10 would recommend!

    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 had a group of 20 adults, teens, and children. There were plenty of beds for us all. The layout was great with basically 2 bedrooms sharing a bathroom. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of silverware and dishes for a big family. Nice to have the dishwasher. We had plenty of dishwasher tabs. Loved having the washer and dryer on site for laundry. Linens were nice. It says that it has A/C and it does have 2 window units but no central air. It was a little stuffy over night when we closed the bedroom doors. A couple nights we were able to open the windows at night when it cooled off which really helped. The 2 window units kept it plenty cool for everyone even on the 95 degree day. Would stay here again.
