Best Stay in our History of VRBO

Beautiful location with well maintained property. It was exceptionally well cleaned and stocked. The absolute best hosts we've ever had. Mike and Dulce went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience (pre frozen beer mugs, fresh eggs, ground coffee). The forethought they put into their guests visits is truly amazing.

Great Fun in the Black Hills!

Thank you so much, we had a great time staying at your Cabin! The property was spacious, updated, clean, family friendly and beautiful, it had so much room for my kiddos to run around and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of the “Forrest!” Perfect location to my”Grammy” for a weekend getaway Black Hills adventure

Hospitality 10/10 would recommend

Communication with the hosts was amazing, friendly and prompt. Dulce had inquired when we booked if we had any special reason for our trip and I indicated that my daughter just graduated and her birthday would be during our trip. When we arrived there was a graduation and Birthday balloon with sparkling grape juice and chocolate and a birthday/graduation card. Farm fresh eggs, fresh ground filet and a bottle of Moscato for the grown ups. What a great surprise for all of us. Everything was clean and everything is available one would need to make meals and avoid restaurant meals three times a day. The location is a bit outside of Hill City but easy to reach. There is a drive on gravel, but very well maintained. Being in Hill City is the perfect starting point for any day trips around the Hills. This was a perfect family vacation. If there is another trip to the Black Hills in our future we would definitely stay here again.

Definitely a property to re-book in the future

property was great and very clean! we would stay again definitely! Mike and Dulce were great to work with also. (only suggestion is the sewage smell by the driveway might need to be fixed ) but that would not deter us from coming back as not only was the property GREAT, so were the 4-wheeling trails!

A true Black Hills experience

First off you could not ask for better hospitality, Mike and Dulcy went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. The cabin is in a perfect location away from the busy highways and offers a wonderful relaxing place to enjoy the true beauty of the Black Hills. This was our second summer staying in the Cozy Cabin in the Hills and it just keeps getting better as Mike and Dulcy continue to make it more enjoyable every year.

A perfect stay

Our family had a great time staying in this cabin! It was extremely clean upon arrival and had so many thoughtful amenities, such as all the basic necessities like soap, towels, linens, paper towels, etc., as well as less thought of, but extremely helpful items, like fans, lighter/matches, extension cords, books, etc. Additionally, the cabin itself and the surrounding area was gorgeous. The cabin is spacious and the hilltop neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. Located in Hill City, it's very close to all the major attractions and it was easy to return to after a fun day of play. Overall, our stay in the cabin turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the trip. Very cozy, comfortable and relaxing. We are already excited to come back and visit again!

We really enjoyed the stay. If you follow the directions provided, you drive right to the cabin. It was very clean with a great back patio and deck which we took advantage of in the evenings. Hill City is about 5 minutes away and we went to the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. All easy drives. We'd stay here again.

Family trip to the Black Hills

This place is great! We had a really nice time at this cabin and it was absolutely perfect for our family of four. Our boys (4 & 7 years old) had a blast playing baseball in back yard and exploring the abundance of forest that surrounded us. The location of the cabin is perfect, just a few minutes outside of Hill City. We didn't know it but the location put us in the heart of everything with Rushmore, Custer, Jewel Cave, Reptile Gardens, Crazy Horse, etc. all just about a 20 minute drive away. We would definitely stay here again, cheers to Dulce & Mike for being great hosts!
