Gold in Black Hills

My husband and I had been planning our trip to South Dakota for 3 years and staying at Tin Mill Cottage was like finding a "nugget" of gold in Hill City. The cottage was clean and had every luxury of home. It was nice after a long day of sight seeing to come back to the comforts of Tin Mill. The location was absolutely perfect for our plans - close to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer Park and not far away from Rapid City. We had daily morning & sometimes afternoon visits from wild turkey & deer in the yard. We had a wonderful vacation! I would like to add a couple of things about comments I read previous to booking Tin Mill Cottage...there was a complaint about 2 hotels nearby and the train being so close. The hotels were there but did not create any noise and we were still on a hill with our own privacy. Yes, the train ran by a couple of times a day while we were there but never early in the morning or late at night. If we go back to South Dakota, and we would really love to..we will most definitely stay at Tin Mill Cottage.

Excellent home away from home

Excellent location! It was so nice to be able to come “home” after a busy day exploring!! Location was close to the road but with the trees in the back of the home, we were tucked into the woods! Excellent communication throughout our stay as well. A+++

Black Hills Vacation

We loved our stay at the Tin Mill Cottage! It's the perfect location above Hill City so you're close to all the tourist attractions! We packed our days full of activities and it was nice having a home to come back to and relax before starting again the next day! The owners were very responsive and messaged just to make sure everything was going well! It has became one of our favorite VRBO's and would be the first one we would look for on future visits and recommend to friends and family! Thanks again!

Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023
