Great Centralized Black Hills Location
We enjoyed our stay at this roomy house on Main Street in Hill City. Very convenient for getting to all of the Black Hills attractions and activities. House was clean and owners were very attentive to needs as they arose. Was nice to be able to walk to shops and restaurants in Hill City.

Black Hills
Great location and very clean. 2 issues. 1: The TV is not cable and so there are 3 controls and no instructions as to how to use it. Therefore, I was not able to access the main stations. 2: The coffee pot does not turn itself off. Found this out the hard way. This is VERY dangerous. Other than those 2 things everything was great. Thanks for sharing your home.

Thank you for your comments. The coffee pot was scheduled to be changed to an automatic shut off. On the check in instructions that was sent to you and posted on the refrigerator, it says that the TV is Roku and myself and my wife's numbers are posted. All you had to do to access local channels was to push the Roku button. If you had contacted myself or my wife we could of helped you since we are local.

Great location, lovely property
We were impressed with the convenience and comfort of this property. We took a lot of day trips and the location was central to all the sites we wanted to see. The property was well-maintained and comfortable. We loved the beds! Our hosts were great about communication and made sure we had all the information we needed for a smooth, trouble-free stay.

The little green house
It was very clean, organized and well maintained but way too noisy! Beds were clean and very comfortable. A few minor things like the coffee pot didn't work and the smoke alarm battery went dead so it beeped until we disconnected it. Overall, it was a great rental for us because it was close to everything we wanted to see and visit

Thanks for review. House is on main street 2 minute walk to down town so you do get traffic noise. The windows are high quality and new to cut down noise. The bedrooms are away from the road in the back. Coffee pot is new so not sure why didnt work. Would have been happy to replace if I had known it. Extra batteries in drawer again would have been happy to change. Ken Brown

Great Stay
Our family stayed for 6 nights. Great location for a family doing “family” friendly activities. Across the street from 1880 Train Depot. Our 5.5 year old loved seeing the train each day. The house was clean, stocked with all needed items, and was in a great location so we were not having to drive too far each day for our activities.

Comfortable and convenient!
First, Ken is an accommodating and communicative host! He made sure we knew about all the local attractions and restaurants, and that he would be available should we need anything. Thanks, Ken!! Second, the house was perfect for our needs. It's in a great location and is a good size. There were four of us staying from Thurs-Tues and we had plenty of room to spread out and have our own space. The beds were very comfortable (normally I find it challenging to sleep anywhere except in my own bed), there was plenty of bedding, and the rooms were quiet (with the addition of a fan). I usually sleep with a fan and brought my own, and we found an extra in a closet. If there are more in your party who need fans just know you may need to bring/ask for more. Other things that are helpful to know: There are 8-9 deck chairs (no need to bring your own camp chairs), a wood fire pit outdoors and an electric fireplace indoors, a gas grill, plenty of dishes, silverware, mugs, seasonings, condiments, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, etc. The only thing we could not find was a hairdryer, it could be hiding somewhere, but no matter, we all just air-dried our hair. There's a coffee shop a few doors down with delicious coffee, the Mickelson trail is right out the door, and Custer and Keystone are both about 20 minutes away. We didn't notice the train whistle in the early morning at all, and the times we did hear it it was a lovely soft "toot toot" old West whistle. I was initially worried about this since I'm somewhat of a light sleeper. Overall, great stay, can't say enough good things!

This property was centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Ken greeted us upon arrival and gave us some great suggestions for food and travel options. This is a nicely remodeled older home with charm and quirks. We made use of the grill and the fire pit and enjoyed that it was walking distance from the downtown area. Our only concerns were the lack of banisters on the stairs (no one had any trouble going up and down, we were probably more careful for the lack) and that the water didn't get hotter than tepid. Neither of which we mentioned to Ken at the time, because they were minor. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend this property.

Fantastic!
This house is even better than the pictures. Every inch has been remodeled so it's like a brand new house. Everything we needed was included... paper towels, coffee, dish & laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, hangers, etc. The kitchen appeared to be well stocked, but we ate out while we were there. My 2 biggest concerns about staying away from home are the bed and the shower. Thankfully the bed and bedding was super comfortable, there were extra blankets and even a fan in the closet. and the downstairs shower has good water pressure (didn't use the upstairs). The deck is a great area for coffee in the mornings or wine in the evenings. A gas grill and a fire pit are provided. Shops, museums, restaurants, and attractions are all within a few blocks. The Mickelson Trail is right next door. Ken is very friendly and available for restaurant and activity suggestions. We didn't have any problems during our stay, but if we had, I have no doubt that Ken would have responded to a text or phone call immediately. The house is truly lovely. If you're traveling with kids they will love having their own space. A word of caution, if you have small dogs like ours (10 pounds) you have to keep your eyes on them while in the yard. There are spaces on either side of the gate that they can fit through and they can fit under the fence between the neighbor's yard. Also, there aren't any screen or storm doors so untrained pups like ours try to dart outside. If I was forced to come up with something negative it would be a lack of hooks in the bathroom or on the back of the bedroom door for towels and robes, but that is literally the only thing I can think of that this place is lacking. We have already recommended the house to our neighbors. Thanks, Ken for sharing your home with us.

I always greet guests since I am local. Which guest had told me during stay the main floor was dirty. Would have cleaned immediately. Cleaner must have had off day. Never had had a complaint about cleanliness before. Comment about "lower end" rental is surprising. House is like new and well appointed. Perhaps guest should stayed at the next door vacation rental at $600 per night vs my $350. Ken Brown

Great for larger family and pets
We particularly enjoyed the ability for our family to spread out and enjoy after long days of hiking, site-seeing, etc. The fenced area was perfect for our 2 dogs, we loved being so close to the Mickelson trail for biking, walking dogs, etc. and could easily walk down the main road to get to coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping. It is right on the main road into town, so it's a little loud for sitting outside by campfire and need to keep an extra eye on little kids and dogs. Overall we really enjoyed our time in Hill City and would definitely stay in this house again. Ken was very helpful and easy to get in touch with.

Lovely home in a fun area.
We had a wonderful time staying in Ken's property. Everything was clean and just as described in the listing. My favorite things were that all linen, towels, pillows and extra blankets were provided. I loved not having to bring shampoo and conditioner on our plane ride. There were more than enough places to sleep for our family of 7, we didn't even use the lower floor. We cooked in the kitchen and had everything we needed to make our meals. Ken was kind, accessable and gave us lots of good recommendations on local fun. Hill city is lovely and right in the middle of all the touristy fun. We saw Mount Rushmore, explored a cave, panned for gold, explored a mine, adventured in an adventure park including a 2-3 hour ropes course, went to TWO dinosaur museums, explored a mirror maze and enjoyed the yummy candy and coffee shops in the area. All in 4 days!! We had a blast and hope to come again! The house is on a busy road which during peak hours gets busy but other than that it's beautiful.

We loved being right in the center of Hill City. It’s walkable to downtown. Great parking location for our trailer. It is on Main Street so there is some street noise but it quiets down at night pretty quickly. The 1880 train across the street adds some nice nostalgia. The home itself looks like nothing special from the outside but as soon as you walk in, you will smile. As the photos show it’s all completely updated and just lovely. We really enjoyed our stay.
