10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very nice. It was clean, great staff, good breakfast. Hill City was a great place to stay - lots of shopping, sight seeing, and restaurants. Highly recommend."

Lodge at Palmer Gulch

10/10 Excellent

"The fireplace in our original booking was not working, maintenance was sent immediately to assist. They could not get it working. The staff at the lodge gave us an upgrade to a better room with a working fireplace. Excellent customer service!"

Donna's Creekside Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Great views, cozy place. Loved the wildlife in the morning!"

The Hynes Cabin – A Spacious Renovated 1925 Classic with Stunning Views

10/10 Excellent

"The history in the cabin is felt and welcoming. I thank them for letting my family share in the experience of the area. We created many happy moments to remember."

Granite Ridge Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Truly one in a million properties. Very unique spot- located off the beaten path, literally it is located at the end of a long gravel road in a beautiful wooded area. Close proximity to Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, and Custer State park. You will be greeted by deer and wild turkeys every morning and hear the 1880 train whistle as you enjoy coffee and breakfast on the back patio. So peaceful and beautiful. Well stocked kitchen with coffee maker, pots, pans, glassware, etc. Very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms - great for our party of 7. Beds were very comfortable. We spent alot of time out and about so we didn't have time to enjoy the hot tub, but it would have been amazing to view the stars from. Only downside was that we were there during a "burn warning" and we were not able to utilize the outdoor woodburning fireplace - but it is in a beautiful spot on the patio and weather permitting would be amazing. Great spot for our girls' weekend! The host was extremely responsive which was greatly appreciated."
