Fantastic Property

The Hillside Hideaway was a wonderful place to stay. It is a cozy retreat in a quiet neighborhood and has all the amenities of home. It is very clean, the kitchen is well-equipped, the shower is wonderful, and the bed is very comfortable. The host has many welcoming touches (like fresh flowers on the table!) and has thought of everything. Highly recommend staying here!

Peace and Tranquility

We enjoyed our time at Charming Hillside Hideaway. Our host, Candace, is a very sweet person and very knowledgeable of the area. She responded to our questions quickly and gave us excellent examples of places to go and things to do. It was special to see deer and wild turkeys outside of the house. We will stay there again! I highly recommend this property! 💗

Convenient location for Custer State Park

Property was very clean and expertly stocked with anything you might need away from home. Had nice outdoor patio, comfortable king size bed and great water pressure in shower. Host seemed very nice and was easy to reach via text. After a day exploring in the Hills it was a pleasure to return to Hillside Hideaway and relax.

Lovely place

This was such a clean relaxing and convenient place to stay as our home base for the Black Hills adventure that we had planned. At the end of the day, we loved sitting on her covered porch watching the wildlife. There were a couple of deer families that would cross the property. The mattress was awesome for us. Candace provided everything we needed and more. She was available for any questions we had about the area making recommendations for restaurants and things to do.
