Quaint Cabin in the Heart of the Black Hills

Grandma's house is approximately 800 square feet. It has a back bedroom with a queen size bed and its own back door. The adjacent sleeping area has 2 twin beds.. The large living area contains a dining table, 2 couches and a queen size bed and tv. The kitchen is equipped with all kinds of dishes and cooking utensils, and a propane barbecue grill is available for outside cooking. The bathroom has a tub/shower combination and towels and linens are provided. There is a screened in porch on the front of the older part of the house which is shaded by two huge spruce trees. It is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal or just relax and listen to the creek babble by. Deer and turkey visit the yard often and can be viewed from any window in the house. Adjacent to the house is what we call the bunkhouse. It has one side that was once a one car garage. It is simply used for storage. The other side is mostly being used for storage and has extra beds just in case the need arises. The property has two sheds used primarily for horses, but could offer motorcycle protection as well.
This is a non-smoking home. Friends are welcome to smoke outside. Pets are considered on a case by case basis, and must be approved by owner and/or manager. Pet fee is determined by type and number of pets. It could be less or more than $75.
This home has been recently renovated. While the basic floor plan remains the same, the flooring, wall and ceilings surfaces are all new. Grandma's house is sporting all new roof, windows, blinds, paneling, vinyl and laminate flooring and more. The bathroom has been enlarged and now includes a full size washer and dryer. The little house was already adorably quaint. We hope you will find it even more delightful now. Grandma’s House is available for longer stays November thru April. Send inquiry using unbooked dates to contact host.

We had a great stay at Grandmas House. Close enough to town but yet far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. All of our needs were met, and we really enjoyed the screened in porch. We had deer and turkeys practically every morning and evening. We had great communication with the owner and the caretaker. We loved it and would definitely stay here again.

The cabin was very close to Hill City, but far enough out of town to be peaceful and quiet. The stargazing at night was amazing. The host was very quick to answer any questions, and the check in and check out was easy. Thanks for the great experience!

Perfect Family Vacation!

Our 5-person family and 2 dogs had a wonderful time at Grandma's House. We loved how peaceful and quiet the area is, yet how close we were to all of the Black Hills attractions. The back porch off one of the bedrooms was a favorite place to read and birdwatch in the mornings and evenings. Just a half mile down the road from the house is the beautiful George S. MIckelson trail. We would be thrilled to stay at this location in the future!

Secluded getaway

Property is very private! Very little traffic goes by. Located only a few minutes from Hill City, with a grocery store and shops. Deer are very frequent and we even seen some big elk in front yard. Property was perfectly suited for our family of four, but would easily accommodate 6 or more.

Fun just outside Hill City, SD

The description was accurate for the cabin and the setting was perfect for what we wanted. We had 6 of our grandchildren and do an "adventure" every year. We loved hiking behind the cabin, set up a tent for the boys, and had a great time sitting under the stars at night. Thank you.

Great cabin

We really enjoyed our stay. There was a glitch with the check in process and the cabin had not been cleaned upon our arrival. They came right over and cleaned it and paid for us to go have a wonderful meal at the Alpine Inn as a result. They were very apologetic and accommodating and checked with us throughout to be sure we were enjoying our stay so no we had no complaints whatsoever. We would definitely go back the next time we are in the area.

Quiet getaway

Older cabin that has been updated as a vacation rental property. On arrival, 2 of our party noticed an odor and started having headaches and nausea that resulted from some plug-in air fresheners - we removed them and opened all windows and rest of stay was fine.This was an ok place for us, though because the beds, except for one, occupy same living space as the kitchen and living room, it wasn't very restful for most of usLocation was nice and central for Black Hills exploring and we had elk in the backyard one morning!

Another great stay

This was our second stay at Grandma’s House. It was great again. It had everything we needed, except for a hose to wash our motorcycle. We contacted the property manager, Meghan, and she went above and beyond by bringing us one. All we really asked for was an outdoor spigot for water access. So great! Peaceful and quiet. We had coffee every morning at the front porch.

Nice and clean

House was super clean and was 10 min down the road to where we needed to be. Very secluded feeling if you like that.... The place had a smell to it and was told to open the windows at night to air it out and it should go away the next day. We just turned on the air (window) and by the following day it was less noticeable. There is a stream out front that the kids liked also.

Family Trip to Black Hills

This was a little slice of heaven. Set back from the town in the hills, but only a 3 minute drive to the main road and stores, this cabin and surrounding land offered tranquility, peace and quiet. You can tell the home is steeped in love and years of family history. Everything was clean and very well stocked, including actually having good, sharp kitchen knives! That's a small perk, but as someone who stays in rentals often and is used to old, worn out utensils, that was a treat in itself and just one example of the care that has gone into this home. The beds were comfy, having laundry and TV streaming services accessible was convenient, and the screened in porch was the perfect place for morning coffee, watching the deer and all kinds of birds, and taking in an epic Black Hills hail/thunder storm! Communication with both Cody and Meghan were effortless. Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed this little cabin and the quiet and rest it offered us after our days of adventuring in the Black Hills!

A perfectly idyllic setting, serene and beautiful

When we first drove up and saw this little cabin tucked down in the valley with the creek running through the front yard in such an idyllic setting, we couldn't believe how lucky we were to have found it! It was the perfect size for us and our dogs and they loved running around and splashing in the creek. We were surrounded by natural beauty and wildlife, deer, turkeys, bluebirds in the front birdhouse, and a little marmot living in the rocks above the house. We were close to all the great things we wanted to do in the Black Hills. The couple issues we had were small: the burners on the stove weren't fully functional, probably could use some pot and pan upgrades and the front porch furniture was too dusty to sit on. No big deal. It was super clean and the hosts were communicative, responsive and helpful. We would totally stay again and hope we do!
