⁂Near Downtown⁑Arcade Games⁑CoveredPorch⁑Foosball⁂
The house was clean and comfortable. Adam & Saunta were available and thankfully we didn’t have any issues. I really enjoyed watching the deer and rabbits. This house is in a great central location to visit all that Western South Dakota has to offer and would stay again if my travels bring me back to the area.

The Pasqueflower - Large Patio, Clean & Spacious
Loved my stay at Jamin & Jessica's place! Great location in Rapid City that is a quick drive to anything downtown, even a few hikes. Also loved proximity to nearly everything on my bucket list for the Black Hills. House was the perfect size and had everything I needed for a month-long stay: wifi worked great too for working from the house. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

The HEAVENLY Retreat*BEAUTIFUL HOME*YARD*DECK

Backyard Oasis in the Heart of Rapid City!
Centrally located to everything beautiful in The Black Hills! Close to restaurants and downtown Rapid as well! Very quaint and comfortable! I will never stay at a hotel again in Rapid City if Backyard Oasis is available!!!!

Mountain View Gem: Firepit + Sauna + Wildlife
even we stayed at a cold weather it was still memorable, the place is so beautiful and the view from our deck of the hills and the pack of deer that comes everyday without a miss was so amazing, our dog was even intrigued about the sound of nature, we will definitely stay again!!!

Best location to downtown & BHSU
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Such a lovely home in a great location. It is obvious that lots of care and attention has been given to this home which lends to its comfy, homey feel. We appreciated the stocked kitchen where we could cook a meal as compared to other Airbnb’s that only offer the basics. Note that we had three grandparents in tow with mobility issues making this spot an excellent choice as it has no stairs to the main entrance and two bedrooms on the main floor with one connecting to the bathroom. Overall, lots of room for the eight of us and everyone was comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for BHSU graduation weekend!

Pool, deck, fire pit, and trampoline!!!
We had a great stay! Amanda always responds quickly and even allowed my family who were arriving much earlier than us to have access a couple of hours before check in time. The house is cozy and in a quiet neighborhood close to pretty much everything. We would definitely stay there again especially when the pool is available to swim in.

NEW! Cute 2br Home in amazing Spearfish location
What a little Spearfish gem! This house was perfect for our trip. There was plenty of room for 3 adults and 2 dogs. The yard was absolutely fabulous! The interior was cute and inviting. Everything was clean and comfortable. It was close to downtown, BHSU and many restaurants. I highly recommend staying in this cute house.

Altitude Adjustment- Panoramic Views, Sleeps 12
We came snowboarding during spring break and we had a great time! Beds were comfy, kitchen was stocked nicely, house was clean. There were some toys that my little kids loved and played with the entire time. We did need to put it in 4wd to get up the driveway. Would definitely stay again!

Mile-high Pines Lodge
The cabin was amazing, very clean very secluded. The hot tub was an extra bonus! The owners we very responsive and very friendly. I would most definitely come back here again! Such a great Easter weekend get-away! :)

Hill City Haven Downtown Main Street
Perfect location. We were able to sightsee and come back to Hill City. Wonderful restaurants in Hill City. We had a great vacation. Thanks

Country, Amazing Night Skies, and Private Views!

Your guide to Hill City
Welcome to Hill City
Parks and outdoor adventures surround the Black Hills’ second-oldest town. Its South Dakota showstoppers include the Crazy Horse Memorial, the planet’s largest mountain carving, to the southwest, and Mount Rushmore to the southeast: both within a 20-minute drive. Hill City also makes a good base for exploring Devils Tower, the spires of Custer State Park, and the otherworldly Badlands. And don’t forget the pristine prairie at Wind Cave National Park, blanketing one of the world’s longest, most complex cavern systems.
Hiking, cycling, horseback riding, and off-roading trails wind through the rocky slopes and gnarled ponderosa pines. For kid-friendly options, you can go boat or ice fishing on Sheridan Lake, or browse dinosaur bones at the Museum @ Black Hills Institute. Meanwhile adults can soak up the art galleries, local wineries, and craft beer that bring cosmopolitan charm to this laid-back tourist hub.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Hill City
Outdoor adventurers should look to summer for the most consistently warm temperatures. That said, fall offers smaller crowds and less rain, beating out spring on the shoulder-season front. Culture kicks off in May with the Black Hills Film Festival, followed by scrap metal and chainsaw creations at June’s Sculpture in the Hills Art Show. Treat your taste buds to local food and drinks with a side of live music at the Wine, Brew & BBQ festival in August. September brings the Quilt Show and Sale, great for original souvenirs. A holiday parade marks the start of Old Tyme Christmas in late November, and Holiday Express trains run on weekends throughout December.
Top things to do in Hill City
1880 Train
The scenic, 3-hour round-trip journey runs between Hill City and Keystone from May to October. Replica steam locomotives pull visitors past old mines and Gold Rush hot spots within the forest landscape. Serious rail buffs should also make tracks for the South Dakota State Railroad Museum flanking the Hill City depot.
George S. Mickelson Trail
Hill City sits near the center of this 109-mile route connecting Deadwood in the northern Black Hills and Edgemont in the south. This gently sloping trail — usually less than a 4 percent grade — passes over old railroad bridges and through rock tunnels. Rent a bicycle, hop on horseback, or lace up your hiking boots to head in either direction. Summer trolley rides also open up this experience for visitors of all abilities.
Hill City Galleries
Experience the area’s natural beauty with a self-guided tour of Main Street’s creative side. Many of the galleries and boutiques feature Native and contemporary pieces made by locals. Think watercolor farm scenes and chainsaw carvings, not to mention a scrap-metal stallion made from farm and ranch tools. Its sculptor reports that flesh-and-blood horses occasionally whinny at it when they’re being trailered through town.
