What our Friends are Saying . . .
Perfect Family Reunion
Was the perfect spot for us. House worked great. We cooked all of our evening meals at the house and it worked out great. There were 5 couples and the house was great. We enjoyed the outside fireplace, the bbq grill, the horses going by and the view. Thank you for the beautiful weather!

Wonderful Place!
This cabin was the perfect place for a family gathering! Kids enjoyed the pool, adults enjoyed the hot tub! Great location, very friendly and helpful hosts! Would definitely stay again!

Amazing Group Rental
We gathered for an early Christmas and had so much fun! Plenty of space for everyone (we had 14). The hot tub was a hit and so was sledding across the road from the house. We already have discussed potential future stays! You won’t be disappointed in this house or surrounding area!

Great Home in a Great Location
This is our second time staying at this property and would highly recommend it for a large family trip to the Black Hills!

Great Family Vacation
Location worked out great to see Mt Rushmore and take in other activities with our children and grandchildren. The house accommodated 17 family members nicely.

Hill City Hike & Bike
We recently spent three wonderful days at the Western Sky Cabin. Beautiful location just a few miles from Hill City and the Mcikelson Trail pretty much in our backyard. Enjoyed hiking the area as well. Matthew is an awesome host! We knew we would have a comfortable stay the minute we met him! The cabin was very clean and well supplied. Chances are good we'll be back next year!

Great Stay & Location
We had a great stay on June 21 through June 23rd at this awesome property. It was my Mom, sister and I. My Mom is in her 80's and the top floor was exceptionally well setup for her to move around. Lift up recliner, walk in shower. Maybe one small step up on the porch. Highly recommend if there are mobility concerns. The downstairs was great for my sister & I. Two queens in one big room, two bathrooms. Just a few minutes outside of Hill City. Matthew was a great host. Thanks so much.

Perfect experience!
The Western Sky Cabin is a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for a place in the hills of Hill City! Beautiful setting about 4 miles from Hill City, lovely cabin, horses grazing just outside, so peaceful. Matthew has thought of everything to provide a comfortable stay, and he met us upon arrival to show us the cabin and amenities. 20-30 minutes away from Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and so much to see and do in town. We could easily text and email, but phone service wasn’t available in that hilly area. I would come back here again!
