Hill City stay for Crazy Horse Run

We booked this place for our stay in Hill City the weekend of the Crazy Horse Run. We had a large group of adults running the half marathon and this was the perfect size and location for our needs! There were so many rooms and beds which allowed for everyone to get a room to themselves which left us all well rested and ready for the race! It is also located right along the Mickelson Trail which was cool. 10/10 would recommend!

perfect place for groups

We loved the quiet country location. This cabin was great for our family to gather. We had some singles and some couples and there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. It would have been nice to have some bigger cookware for cooking for a group.

Large family gathering

We had a group of 20 adults, teens, and children. There were plenty of beds for us all. The layout was great with basically 2 bedrooms sharing a bathroom. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of silverware and dishes for a big family. Nice to have the dishwasher. We had plenty of dishwasher tabs. Loved having the washer and dryer on site for laundry. Linens were nice. It says that it has A/C and it does have 2 window units but no central air. It was a little stuffy over night when we closed the bedroom doors. A couple nights we were able to open the windows at night when it cooled off which really helped. The 2 window units kept it plenty cool for everyone even on the 95 degree day. Would stay here again.

Very enjoyable weekend

My family and I have no negative comments about this cabin. But if I was forced to nit pic, I would like to see a couple of the rooms upgraded to bigger beds. I'm a larger person and that would put this cabin over the top for me. This was the second year we picked this cabin and would pick it again in the future. Enjoyed the weekend

Family Reunion

We had a 15 person family reunion. The house had lots of rooms and enough bathrooms. Unfortunately the hot tub was out of commission for our entire stay. We did have a plumbing problem and it was very promptly addressed. Lots of rooms for cars, and a driveway up to the back of the house to unload groceries/upper level suitcases was helpful. Kids loved the loft and the firepit for roasting marshmallows. Fun time was had by all.

Great location, not cleaned.

I will start with it is a good setup and great location. However I was told the prior renters of the cabin left it a major mess. And they left the morning our stay was booked to start. The contact crew said sometimes they don’t have enough time to keep up the basic maintenance on the property because the quick turn around. The most unacceptable part was when we went to cook breakfast the first morning we went to grab a supplied pan to use and saw it was dirty, we moved it out of the way and found a deep pot full of old food that was left there. And when we opened the cupboards we found open and expired non refrigerated items. The house had odds and ends not working like it should, one of the down stairs doors said it was not working, one of the windows were broken to where it was a chore to get it closed after we opened it which had no note on it. All four bath room vents were covered in dirt, bathroom towel hangers were broken, storage wicker baskets were broke, the fridge was missing the face of the control panel, and the house had lights bulbs out. Also, a lot of the rooms had an odor to were we had to open the rooms to let fresh air in. The hot tub was beyond disgusting, and no matter how many times they cleaned it we weren’t able to us it. And when I reach out to the crew. It felt like I was getting the run around. I honestly think most my problems could be avoided by someone actually cleaning and not just changing the bedding. And I have yet to hear anything back.

Mount Meadow Belated Christmas

My family and I went for an immediate family belated Christmas gathering. There were 7 adults and 3 children in attendance. We loved the lay out and loved the space this home provided. I would recommend this space for those that have children all ranges of ages. The hot tub and comfortable features of being at “home” made it cozy. Parking is plentiful. The home wasn’t spotless but it also wasn’t filthy. It was more of what you would expect from a “lived in” home. But wouldn’t stop me from staying there again. Also, the internet password was a little hard to find as the guest book has outdated information. But once the password was found all was well.
