Great Home Base for Visit
The location was great, very convenient to Mount Rushmore and tourist attractions near there. House was comfortable, pleasant and as described on the listing and properly ready for us. Just had a small issue which was very satisfactorily resolved. Communication with the host was excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

It was over the top. More than what we expected. Extra beds and bedding and towels for all of us. Outstanding. The little kids ran up and down your hills beside the cabin and played hide and seek for hours Campfire and hot tub was enjoyed by all. Very quiet to sleep and everyone slept good in the beds. Very comfortable 👍💕 Totally fun and roomy for all of us and all ages

Great Place
Booked this for the family and we had a great time. We made use of the fire pit, grill, and hot tub several times, definitely nice amenities on the property. My little niece loved walking over to watch the horses. The trail network that runs right in front of the place was awesome and well kept. The host was very communicative and helpful during our stay. A quick drive to downtown Hill City.

Couldn’t have been any better.
We had four couples staying together and it was the perfect place to give each couple their own space while allowing us to be together in the common areas. We will definately be staying there again in the future.

South Korea meets South Dakota
Our group consisted of two adult couples from Aberdeen SD along with five collegiate International Exchange Students from South Korea. We all loved the rural setting, the kids loved being able to walk out the front door and see the stars in the sky, and we also loved the short and easy drive into Hill City for supplies. Everyone we met in Hill City were extremely friendly, and we also enjoyed being able to hang out together and play games and have snacks and beverages. So much more convenient than a hotel! We had a great time overall!

Great Location
Beautiful cabin in a great location. Communication was great! Cabin is stock with basic essentials. It snowed the day before we went there which made the scenery wonderful but then also covered the patio and driveway. We did have to wait a bit for that to get cleared but gentlemen came early evening and was pleasant. The cabin could use a deep clean and a few more dish towels and rags. Overall wonderful place! Would stay again.

Great Place for Family Getaway
We got there pretty late in the evening but had no problems getting in the door. Cabin had all the amenities we needed. I would recommend bringing a few more blankets if you have "blanket snobs" like my daughters who want their own fluffy blankets. The property was clean, quiet, and close to everything everyone wanted to see. We all went our own way during the day and then came back to the cabin at night. Can't wait to come back again next year.

Great location
Quick 2 night trip for Fall Break. Perfect size for 3 families as far as bedrooms. Would have been nice to have a 3rd bath with basement bedroom. Needs new carpet and many light bulbs out but management agreed and said it’s in the plans. Very easy to communicate with. Bring your own firewood. It wasn’t clear to us.

black hills classic motorcycle ride
It was a very nice place. Everyone like the accommodations. The only thing we could suggest would be to make the management more accessible. Maybe that was my fault, as my phone would not call the number listed on the "welcome/rules book", until I got set up with the wifi calling there. and then I did not try again. And there was no key code that we could find so locking the doors was not an option for us. Also a few more benches or stands in the room would be nice to set suitcases on. The availability for a quick phone contact with your guests would have made us more comfortable. But overall, it was very good, and we would come back. Thank you.

Michigan in the house!
Had a great 3 night stay at Goldfinch in Sept. 2023. It was very convenient for the four of us to have a "home base" while visiting all the local tourist attractions. The horses running each morning behind the house was great! The only issue for us was the second bathroom being upstairs, as it was not easy for some of us "seniors" to climb the steps. Other than that, it was great. Beautiful area!

Side By Side Trip
Had plenty of room for parking and unloading our side by side vehicles. Living and kitchen area was smaller - worked just fine for our group because we were out on the trails all day. Enjoyed coming back and utilizing the hot tub. Would have been nice to have a bathroom downstairs . Area was nice and quiet - close to a lot of trails.

Great Time in the Black Hills
This was the first time our adult kids got to meet each other. The setting was wonderful, close to so much to do. The house was set up so each family had their own space. We loved the hot tub, fire pit and the front porch. It allowed us to have a wonderful time, see and do lots of things in the Hills. Thank you!
