Great Location - Great Cottage
Hill City is a great "Heart of the Hills" location. The Old Town Cottage was in town but felt like out in the hills. Very good communications with property manager. Likely stay there on our next trip to the area.

Cabin on the Hill
Me, my husband and our two children stayed for 4 nights at this cozy cabin on the hill. Very enjoyable with deer right at your doorstep. The easy communication with the property management made it easy to obtain another propane tank and other amenities offered with our stay. Quick 5 minute walk to downtown Hill City, grocery store and restaurants. All around quiet and pleasant stay at the Cabin on the Hill. Thank you. Lisa K

Loved the location. Onnthe edge of town, yet it felt like we were in a remote location. The cabin was nice, and very comfortable. We will definately rent again if we come back to the Hills.

Although we spent most of our time with family that live in Hill City, this cabin was the perfect place to retreat from the reunion! Comfortable bed, extremely clean and the location is absolutely perfect. Will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

We stayed for 3 nights. We enjoyed riding the 1880s train, visiting Mt Rushmore, and Custard, exploring Rushmore Cave, and walking around Hill City. We were very busy during the day, and it was nice to come home to our cozy and comfortable cabin. It was the perfect location.

It was a quaint little cottage with the perfect amount of space and amenities! The outdoor patio was perfect for unwinding! There were a few bugs outside, but the homeowner was so thoughtful she even provided bug spray!! Check in was flawless and simple and the host is absolutely top notch!!

Great Conveniently Located Cabin
We thoroughly enjoyed the 6 days we stayed in the Old Town Cabin. Marcia, our host, was delightful and very accommodating and helped make our trip fun. She was extremely easy to communicate with and the cabin had all the little instructions we needed already at hand. The beds were comfortable and I loved being able to put my new car in the garage as there were some thunderstorms in the area and I appreciated not having to worry about hail. We hope to be able to repeat our stay in the future. It was a great visit!

Cozy cabin
This cabin was clean with a great location because it is walking distance to Hill City and the Mickelson Trail. It does need some updating, but it met our needs and had a great 2 car garage and an outdoor area for making s'mores at night.
