Awesome family vacation
Reviewed on 2024-12-05 by , Sheldon, IA United StatesThis place is amazing! There were 24 of us there ranging in age from 8 months to 75 years old and plenty of space to spread out as well as opportunities to have private time in the 6 master suites! The overall feel of the place although huge is cozy and welcoming. The kitchen amenities, the hot tub, the fireplaces..all added to the fun. Our suggestion would be to label the kitchen cupboards so that a lot of time isn't wasted hunting for things! Also..two new coffee pots!:) All in all..a wonderful place
Amazingly Beautiful!

Fourth of July getaway
Reviewed on 2024-07-09 by Shelly H. , Valentine , NE United StatesHad a great time!! House was perfect for our large family! Kids had their own beds and everyone was happy!!
Hillside Lodge was a great place to stay!
Reviewed on 2024-07-06 by Sheryl O. , Elbow Lake, MN USFamily of 20 really enjoyed our Black Hills stay. Our rental had lots of amenities and room to spread out. Well appointed kitchen with lots of refrigerator/freezer space. Kids so enjoyed the indoor games and adults enjoyed the deck with fire pit and hot tub. Cool weather kept us away from the pools at the community building. Property manager was very patient with pre-stay questions, check-in, etc. And the area has so much to offer! We rode horse, UTVs, biked the Mickelsen Trail, hiked the Sunday Gulch Trail, toured Lead and Deadwood, went for a talk and viewed the bison sculptures at the Tantanka Center. drove the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway, drove the Custer loop to view the bison/elk and took in the late night talk and lit up Mt. Rushmore.

Motherload is Amazing
Reviewed on 2024-05-21 by Vicky J. , Sioux Falls, SD United StatesWe were a family group of 20 including two toddlers and a 7 and 9 year old in the Hills to celebrate mom’s 90th birthday. The Motherload property met all of our expectations and more. The kitchen living space was amazing with plenty of dishes, glasses, utensils, and misc stuff like garbage bags, dishwasher tablets, towels, etc. Having two dishwashers, sinks, refrigerators, coffee pots, and three stoves, covered all of our needs completely. The bedroom/bathroom spaces were great and especially the bunk room for kids. The basement game room came in very handy for all ages. The house was very clean and the property managers were great to work with. We would definitely stay here again!
