Black Hills Family Vacation

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location was perfect. The property is secluded while still being within walking distance to downtown Hill City. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The space was the perfect size for my wife and I and our four kids (ages 7-11). We will definitely stay here again!

Tin Mill Cottage Hill City, SD

Instructions for both check in and check out were very easy and straight forward. Kim and Marcia are very organized and easy to communicated with. The cabin was incredibly clean, cozy and spacious. The cabin sits in a convenient location just above the town but feels like your in your own little slice of heaven. We really enjoy the beautiful Black Hills and will be returning again.

Wonderful Retreat

We did a “blue highways” road trip which ended in Hill City SD. We spent a week in this wonderful home on the top of a hill overlooking part of Hill City. The home of Marcia and Kim provided everything we needed plus more. The outdoor decking was wonderful, the communication with our host couple perfect. Did I mention the Osprey, deer, and industrious squirrels? Definitely a home to return to again.
