The Gold Mill | 3 Bed, 3 Bath

*New in 2024
Enjoy evenings on the private covered deck or walk to the nearby restaurants, galleries, pubs, and shopping. This lovely town home is within walking distance to downtown Hill City; yet privately situated with plenty of room to unwind. Being just minutes to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park and millions of acres of Black Hills National Forest, makes this a great place to relax after a long day of site seeing. If you're in the area for adventure, this home is right by Deerfield Road, which will take you to miles and miles of Forest Service roads, ATV/UTV/snowmobile specific trails, Deerfield Lake for fishing, and hiking in the Black Hills National Forest. Guests will love this two level home featuring a full gourmet kitchen, double car garage, laundry facilities, BBQ grill, and covered deck.

The Gold Mill is located in a beautiful tree surrounded neighborhood with views of the downtown and access to the Mickelson Trail with zero gravel to the home. There is also a little lake within walking distance of the Gold Mill with fish in it, Sheridan Lake is 5 miles away for more fishing, and Custer State Park is 12 miles away. With everything so convenient in one lovely package, it's perfect for your Black Hills vacation!

Please Note:
No RV's or campers are allowed to be parked in this neighborhood at any time. There is also no off street parking in this neighborhood. All vehicles must be able to park in the garages or on the concrete in front of the garages. This home also has a parking spot for trailers next to it. Ask us about additional parking if needed.

If you have a larger group or reunion, you can also reserve the Prospector which is the attached town home for $50 off per night. It also sleeps 8 people and has the option for an adjoining deck space.

Weekend get away

Went to the Black Hills for a long weekend to go side by side riding. We really like Hill City and this place was a perfect spot to stay. Great views of the town and hills. Really liked the three bedroom three bath so everyone had their.own space. Liked the two stall garage and the place to.park our trailer. Marcia was super friendly and very helpful.

BH getaway

decided to stay in Hill City when Mick Trail Trek 2020 was cancelled due to Covid. Loved the cabin! super clean and well stocked. loved the garage and small, but very nice and private outdoor jacuzzi. View from the deck was ok as couldn't really see downtown Hill City due to other cabins blocking the view

Close to all the attractions with all the amenities!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gold Mill! The owners have it well stocked with everything you need while on vacation and we couldn't have asked for a better location to call home-base. The Gold Mill is walking distance to shopping downtown and just a short drive to the wineries and sight-seeing. My sisters and I had a great time cooking and visiting in the open concept living-dining area of the townhome. We also enjoyed getting up in the mornings and walking together on the Mickelson Trail that is just at the bottom of the hill. We made so many wonderful memories that we can't wait to come back! Our visit was perfect....thank you!

A perfect spot for family fun

We stayed here with our two grandchildren aged 5 and 8. Their parents stopped by for 2 of the 5 days we were there. The 3 bedroom, 3 bath townhome was very comfortable and well equipped for cooking and dining in or out on the deck. The location was perfect to walk to town and to bike the George Michelson trail. We loved the dinosaur museum. A short trip to Mt. Rushmore and wonderful Custer State Park. We highly recommend this cottage. It overlooks the 1880’s steam locomotive that departs three times a day. Some families rent the adjoining townhome that shares a balcony. What fun for a family reunion. There is a hot tub that is maintained daily. You can’t go wrong.

Perfect location! Perfect place to stay!

This property had everything a traveler to the beautiful blackhills would want! The location in Hill City could not be more centrally located for all the great activities in the Hills. This small beautiful mountain town has everything you need and it is so peaceful! The property is beautiful and has a very homey feeling and plenty of room. It was very comfortable and had a beautiful view from the large front deck. The hot tub was great for relaxing and very private. Deer strolled by the property daily and we even saw wild turkey right out front. This property also has a private garage connected to it. We just drove into it and walked right in the downstairs. If you are traveling with children, they will love the roomy side yard where they can stretch their legs and run off energy. The beauty, comfort and great location of this property puts it number one on our list of favorite vacation home locations. We will definitely return. We highly recommend it!

This is a great location if you’re planning to see anything in the Black Hills area. The rental is very spacious with three bedrooms and three baths. As a little note, if you cannot use a shower with a step in tub, there is a walk-in shower on the first level. There were plenty of kitchen utensils plates pans. Has everything you need to cook your own meals there And the views are spectacular

My husband and I, my parents, and my brother and his significant other stayed at your house for a week - it was perfect! We needed a 3 bed, 3 bath, with common areas and your house was exactly what we were looking for. It was clean and comfortable, and included everything necessary for our stay. That it was centrally located to everything we wanted to see during our stay, was a huge bonus. We couldn’t have been happier.
