A Perfect Hills City/Black Hills Getaway Location

Our stay in the Black Hills was fantastic! The house was charming and spacious, with a great location close to the Mickelson Trail, making exploration a breeze. We also loved the variety of games available—perfect for family fun after a day of hiking! Plus, the massage chairs were an amazing touch for unwinding in the evenings. The only downside? We wish we had brought our own pillows—nothing beats your favorites from home! Overall, this was a fantastic getaway that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the Black Hills.

Nice home. Worked perfect for 10 people.

Perfect setup and space for our family. Right amount of bathrooms and showers. Great location. We were able to check in early. Overall it was clean enough, except the floor. It has a grimy sticky film on it. Kitchen could use some better cooking pans. But despite those things I’d recommend this place.

Great location and everything you need

We had a great stay at this property. The location is excellent. The place was nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. We were a group of 8 (4 adults and 4 teens) and had plenty of room. Check in was easy. And communication was great. They even went above and beyond to return a sweatshirt one of my kids left behind.

Nice house, but in residential area with HOA

Newer house, bedrooms roomy, smaller living area, but kitchen was nice. Not a good place to stay if you need extra parking as overnight street parking is not allowed and in a residential neighborhood with virtually all owner occupied homes.

Not what we expected

This was our first time renting with evolve. While this property is beautiful and the home itself is new and nice, we do not believe this home is worth the price. Some key things to note if you are considering staying here: The cleaning group does not do a good job; all showers had black mold in them and dirty laundry was left behind. We had to buy new pots and pans with our own money because the ones provided were so badly beat up we did not feel safe cooking with them. (We did not leave those pots and pans behind, so unsure if they've been replaced.) Noise is an issue - the home has all hard flooring and a very open floor plan. Noise carries significantly, especially when you have an early riser working in the kitchen in the morning or kids playing inside. There are no drapes in the bedrooms (there are very basic blinds), so we woke up with the sun every morning; not ideal if you want a place to rest and sleep in. We communicated these issues when we arrived and received no apology and limited assistance with our needs. This home can accommodate large families, but it is not comfortable, and the general impression is that little thought is given to guest comfort or basic provisions. We will not be staying here again or renting through evolve again.

Perfect for Family!

This beautiful home was located in a new neighborhood in Hill City. In the past we have stayed at and preferred more remote properties. This was conveniently located just minuted from grocery stores, restaurants and within 20 minutes of Custer, Keystone, Custer State Park and more. As for the home, it has four bedrooms, three full and one half bath. Two of the bedrooms have a private bath. The home was perfect for the 8 adults and two children in our extended family. The second floor dormer bedroom had a queen and two twin bedrooms for the family with children. All the beds had Casper foam mattresses. There is a large laundry area with counter we used to store our supplies. The baths were stocked with liquid soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The two massage chairs in the loft were used daily!

This fantastic home is just minutes away from many of the Black Hills' main attractions. The house is beautiful, clean, and convenient - better than expected! We will definitely stay here anytime we visit the Black Hills again, and have recommended to many friends and family!

Great location

We had six adults and three kids, 11, 10, and 9. After an initial glitch as the house hadn't been cleaned after the last rental, things went great. The immediate response and resolution to the cleaning didn't affect the rest of our stay. We saw all the usual sights, did the horseback riding and four-wheelers. When we were back at the house, our kids rode their scooters and had water balloon fights. The evenings were perfect for sitting on the patio talking and watching the kids. The only thing that was a bit of a bother was how noisy it was. It's an open plan, beautiful wood floors throughout, but you hear everything and it made it harder to have conversations. I'd still give the house a five-star review, because it was well stocked and very nice.

Went great after a bit of a rough start

After connecting with our guest contact, we got access to the house about 4:30 pm. It was clear upon entry that the house hadn’t been cleaned after the last rental. The guest contact got a crew over to clean and joined in herself to speed things up. Somehow, the house got missed. I will be reimbursed for the cleaning fee. After that, we had a wonderful time. The house worked perfectly for us, especially the four bathrooms! The only complaint we had was that the house was very loud. With six adults and three kids, lots of noises from each group. The kitchen had all the things we needed to put together meals. We made some wonderful memories.

Lovely house

Accommodated 10 as promised and comfortable beds as well. Addition of hot tub, grill, and patio furniture would have been appreciated for the rent price. A host fee of $244 plus service fee of $216 added an incredible $460 on top of the per night fees! Happy with the house, not happy with the expensive total price.

Perfect stay for our escape to the Black Hills

We were so thankful for this centrally located home in the Black Hills. It was perfect for our family, as we were able to go out and explore many of the area attractions and still return for the little one's naptime and some rest and relaxation for the big kids. All the comfort and convenience of home with a fully stocked kitchen for preparing meals, spacious rooms, showers with good water pressure and plenty of hot water, access to washer and dryer, and a really lovely neighborhood for scenic walks! The extra large garage made it easy to load/unload when it was cold and snowy upon our arrival. Everything was super clean and we had everything we needed while we were there!
