Just a few things we had trouble with. The refrigerator kept freezing the food, the stove was not easy to cook on and took a long time to cook the food, and no pots and pans with lids to fit. The people are very friendly and try hard to please you. There are a lot of stairs if you can't do stairs, you won't get in and hard to unload suit cases and groceries.

Wonderful house! Close to everything and so spacious for hanging out too. We loved the decks.

This property is beautiful! The house is well kept and super roomy. The beds were comfy. The kitchen was well equipped. It's a perfect location for cycling the Michelson Trail and visiting Custer State Park. We hated to leave!

Very nice place in a quite area to relax. We spent time on the front porch watching the deer , and train come and go. We spent time in the back sunroom playing games as a family. The house has plenty of space for everyone. The home is centerly located to travel in any direction to various daily outings.

South Dakota tour

This property worked well for our first visit to South Dakota and all of its attractions. The location was convenient to reach the national parks, Custer state park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and the 1880's train which is right next door. The property is spacious and the owner was helpful in providing chairs to take to the buffalo roundup so that we did not have to pack and bring them. We appreciated the proximity to Main Street Hill City.

Great House and Location to See Black Hills

The house was in a great location - it is less than an hour from Custer, Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Spearfish Canyon, Deadwood, Wineries, etc,. Within walking distance of main area of Hill City, but far enough away to be quiet. The house was very nice and better than the pictures portray. Kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable, and many supplies were provided. We spent much of our time on the front porch and front picnic table overlooking downtown, the train station, and the many deer that happen by. We would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous location to everything. Condition of the property was run down, poor linens, bedding & cobwebs galore. Very well outfitted for a wonderful stay if it was cleaned. Door frames coated with dirt & webs & door screens all poorly functioning. Location is the trump card!

Black Hills vacation

Kitchen well stock. We loved the picnic table in front to watch the trains. The grill was great, we ate supper every night using the grill. The girls loved watching the deer. Enough towels. We did not turn on any TVs in the evening with too much to do in the area the girls were tired. Thank you Linda for sharing your home

Couldn't ask for more.

Everything was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone. We had three adults and four kids (two other adults cancelled on us), but we had more than enough space. Close to everything you want to see in the area. Our three year old got to see the trains (her favorite) from the front porch. Very clean. The kitchen was well equipped. Very relaxing. Watch for the deer in the yard. Hope to go back soon.
