The Pasqueflower - Large Patio, Clean & Spacious

AnnaRating, 5 stars10 months ago
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.

5⭐️ Adorable Home Next to So Much!

TylerRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Joe’s place was great! It’s a great setup with a bedroom and full bath downstairs and a larger bathroom and 2 bedrooms upstairs. Laundry came in handy and the full kitchen was a must have for a longer stay. The view from the living room was amazing and the yard was well kept. Very responsive and quick to get back if you reach out concerning anything. Would stay again.

Backyard Oasis in the Heart of Rapid City!

AveryRating, 5 stars6 months ago
This worked well for my family. It’s all one level which was great for my one and three-year-old. The place felt bigger than what the photos showed. Extremely cute decorations and homey feel. Ryan was responsive, friendly, and helpful. Price was very fair and worth it. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others to stay. Quiet neighborhood and a great backyard for children to play and adults to mingle.

Rapid City Black Hills Westside Home 2

RebeccaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was a very convenient place to stay with our two dogs. It was great to have a fenced in yard that felt really secure. It was obvious that the house is cleaned well between guests, we didn’t notice any pet hair or stains from previous stays. The neighborhood is nice and quiet.

Home away from Home

CarissaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
"Home Away From Home" was a very accurate description. We felt like we were staying with family. Our dogs loved the big, open yard to play ball and decompress after a long day of dog sports competitions. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt safe. The owl theme in the house was a lot of fun. Ali, the host was amazing. She was very good at communicating and super responsive. When we walked in the house, it smelled awesome and was very clean. There were fresh flowers on the island. It was very refreshing to stay in such a welcoming home. Ali did all of the little things to make us feel like we were coming home at the end of a long day, and not just renting a hotel room. Thank you Ali for such an amazing experience!

Best location to downtown & BHSU

WillRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We enjoyed our stay and loved being able to have our family there with us. It was nice to be able to host family that we had not seen for months. It was very close to The Barn where we celebrated our nephew's wedding. The house was beautiful and we very much enjoyed our stay. We even had the opportunity to walk downtown to shop. Thanks so much!!

Spacious 4 BR Private Getaway

JasonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We enjoyed our stay here. While it was mainly a home base while we explored the area, it definitely served its purpose and was comfortable to stay in. It was clean and spacious. The neighborhood was peaceful, but still close to the town. Raquel was quick with responses to our questions and proactive in reaching out about check in and check out. Also, check out was a breeze. The checklist was short and sweet, and I didn’t feel like I had to do half the cleaner’s jobs for them.

Absolutely one of the most excellent places we have ever stayed. The attention to detail in the building of this home is incredible. Such a beautiful setting too. Our family of six was so comfortable, two people on each floor. The deck was perfect for meals and star gazing. Ray’s Roost is top notch. Would love to visit again!

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.
