Little piece of paradise, Mickelson Trail Lodge.

Plenty of space for large groups. Each room has it's own bathroom.

It was very peaceful and very clean. I would stay again.

Matt was awesome to work with! Very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The lodge was great. The rooms were big and easily accommodated our party of five adult couples and five kids. The outdoor space was great! Used the fireplace and hot tub every night.Location is perfect for a stay in the Black Hills!

Matt came over to welcome us shortly after we got into the house. He was very gracious and gave us a lot of good information. The unit was clean and spacious, and the location was very nice for a getaway.

It was excellent

Matt was great. He gave us a call the day before to check and see what time we would be getting in to make sure everything was ready at our arrival time. He was very quick to answer questions during our stay and was very professional and polite. You drive right up to the lodge and parking was plentiful, definitely enough for a group The fireplace was going and the house was warm when we walked in. Everything was super clean. Plenty of towels for each bathroom and separate ones for the pool/hot tub. Beds were of varying soft/med/hardness so we each chose one that worked for us. If we would have stayed li her we would have definitely utilized the kitchen and the grill outside. A few suggestions would be to have some bath sheets or beach sized towels for the hot tub/pool. Boyfriend is 6’5 and I’m almost 6foot and the towels were not large enough for us. It was fine but that would be appreciated. We didn’t see a hatchet for the wood, and didn’t know where to split the wood for the outdoor fireplace (note said not to split it on the fireplace but we didn’t see a stump or anything to place it on). Also we didn’t see any kindling, only quarters, but we might have missed it. Last suggesting would be to have an ottoman for the couch in the main living area for when you are watching TV. Other than that it was a great stay and we plan to come back with a big group of friends some time.

Everything was great. We really enjoyed the place and the Black Hills. Would stay again if we gad the chance.

Clean rooms

Everything was enjoyable for our stay. We could have had more silverware, washcloth and hand towel in the kitchen. Also some beach towels for the hot tub. It would have been nice to have a washer and dryer too.These are just some suggestions, overall it was a wonderful experience.

Huge cabin! Downstairs: 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, another bathroom with shower/toilet/sink, another bathroom with toilet/sink. Fully equipped kitchen, living area, dining area, 2 large refrigerators, 2 microwaves. Upstairs: On the east side, 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. On the west side, 2 bedrooms with a shared bathroom with a tub and one sink. It’s plenty of room and privacy for our 8 people. Very large outdoor fireplace with seating and a hot tub. Also a propane grill with outdoor eating space, and a pool. Pros:- space, good parking, comfort, beautiful sunrises/sunsets, Star-gazing, quiet, 4 miles from Hill City/grocery, serene views of horses, no loud traffic, near Mt Rushmore/Crazy Horse/Needles Hwy/Custer State Park. Good access to host for needs. Cons:-daily problem with copious flies and other insects getting into the house through window cracks and opened doors. No washer/dryer. No cell service in the house with weak and unreliable WiFi. Overall, we loved being together, making our own meals, and tolerated the daily insect management. We probably would return if the proper repairs were made to keep out bugs.

Overall we were well pleased. suggestions for improvement:1. Control the flies;2. Bedroom with slanted ceiling was difficult to avoid bumping head;3. Kitchen was small and lacked mixer and can opener;4. Keep 2 tables in large room downstairs for larger parties to dine;5. AC units were noisy and lit up room at night6. Better info re General Store - unaware of its presence until last dayAgain, overall experience was positive and exceeded our expectations. Thank you

Great time in a wonderful place

We stayed here with my entire family for a little hills getaway. We loved the location. Tucked away outside of hill city, in a small development. There were horses running around in the area that the kids could feed and interact with. The bike trail is right on the property also. Huge grassy yard. Hot tub was nice. Pool was also nice. The house is huge. Lots of space for everyone and plenty of sleeping space

Loved the wood floors since I have allergies.Kitchen was small, but well equipped,so was the eating area. Needs a new can opener. Mattress in room #3 needs replacement. Our cycling group loved the outdoor patio areas, hot tub, and used all indoor spaces and bathrooms. Rode 50 miles of the Michaelson trail. Also loved strolling down the road to visit the mini horses, and burros.

Awesome place and we even witnessed a wedding next door!

Great place!! Had everything we needed. Great location and Matt was great to work with! We had a large group of 18 people. Woke up to horses each morning. Just missing a large indoor common area for everyone but the outdoor space was great with the fire!!!!

We truly enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of room and truly enjoyed the poo, hot tub and outdoor fireplace. It was convenient located close to hill city.

Property was great! A lot of rooms and beds for are 8 adults and 8 kids. Hot tub and pool were a hit! Hot tub not too hot. We had a super time there and would like to rent it again sometime. Beautiful quiet area.

What a great place! Don’t hesitate! Super roomy - cleaning staff SO helpful & friendly - great location for all the things. We would 100% stay again.

Check-in was easy. House was amazing and had everything we could have asked for (especially for the kids... they enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and games available). Matthew was great to work with and answered any questions we had in a timely manor! We will definitely be back!

We celebrated our 50th anniversary with our family at this property. There were 17 of us and had plenty of room inside and a place to play games outside! Enjoyed the pool, hot tub and petting the horses close to the back yard! It was a quiet and spacious area!

Amazing cabin! We will be back! Loved the pool, location, layout of the cabin! It was all great!!!

The property had more than enough room for our group of 8. The host was very friendly and helpful. Good location to access anything you want to see in the area.

The property was very clean. The beds are awesome. The downfall is there’s no group seating overall we had a great time. The best part with the horses that ran by every morning.

This was our groups second time visiting this rental and it has never disappointed. Great communication with renter, cabin was clean, plenty of parking for all our trucks & trailers, close proximity to many years worth of trails to ride. Thank you for renting this home for everyone to enjoy.

Great property excellent location. Listing is accurate. Will stay again.

Our kids grew up in a crowded house, bunk beds, etc. ...so now they got to enjoy multiple rooms, no sharing a bed, nice hot tub, better views than flat farmland, walking trail a few hundred yards away....Thanks!

Great property and clean!

We booked this property last minute and the communication was great with Matt, the property manager. Questions, issues, before booking and after, were all promptly answered. The house was fully stocked and my kids loved the hot tub. The weather wasn't quite nice enough for the pool but we'd love to come back when it is!Everything worked as expected and if something didn't, Matt quickly answered/addressed the subject in question. The location was great! We saw deer in/on/around the property every day/night and my kids thought it was awesome! Quiet location, not far from Hill City.Easy in and out - check in/check out/of the house itself - and felt very secure.The responsibilities for check out were very reasonable and easy to do. Appreciated after some of the places we've stayed.Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed having several bedrooms and bathrooms. We would have liked a few more large bowls and pots for cooking since our group likes to cook most of our meals when staying somewhere. We had roughly 10 people there and it was difficult to get everyone around one table. Enjoyed the hottub and the outdoor space a lot. The internet was more than enough, it roughly 100 mbps download for reference. A plus for most of us was the lack of cell service, so we could disconnect and enjoy our time.

It truly is a piece of paradise! We will definitely be looking into booking again real soon!

Outstanding property and the best vacation rental manager I've ever dealt with. Always available for any issue we had. Would highly recommend for others wishing to stay there.

was clean, and very accessible

This place was very nice! Enjoyed the outdoor fireplace, hot tiub and view! Will definitely try and rent again sometime! Having a private bathroom in each area or room was great!

This property is a great place to gather after touring the area. Easy access. Nice outdoor amenities. Good for large group.

Coming back next September!👍

Good location for having fun in the Hills.

It was the best place i have ever stayed in. Everything was very clean and organized.he has fire wood delivered next to the cabin and it is resemble priced. We all had a great time

We enjoyed every minute of our stay!

We’ve stayed at this lodge twice now and our stay was fabulous both times. The accommodations are great! It is away from the hustle and bustle but close to Hill City and other attractions. We enjoyed our time here immensely. Highly recommend it.
