About this cabin rental
Enjoy a quiet location close to town and on paved road. This property sits directly in between the towns of Hill City and Keystone! Have a cup of coffee on the front porch and watch the famous 1880's train roll past you a on its way to Keystone. Come evening have a seat and enjoy the wildlife in the meadow directly below you. Easily run into Hill City or Keystone for dinner or groceries or stay home and grill. A short car ride gets you to all of the major attractions including Mt Rushmore (20 minutes) & Crazy Horse (16 minutes) or go the other direction to Deerfield Lake for fishing and boating. The driveway is a little steep and I have had a few guests have concerns about riding motorcycles up and down. Once up the hill there is ample room to turn around a vehicle but I would recommend not taking your trailer to the top. If you do you will most likely be backing it down. There is however a nice flat spot at the bottom of the hill to park a trailer off the road in a safe location.
This Cabin is located in the middle of all the major attractions most of them being less than 30 minutes away.
If outdoor activity is more your style. There are 3 different lakes within 25 minutes or less, not to mention the the Mickelson Trail just a few minutes away with a trailhead in Hill City. Giving you access to 107 miles of biking and walking.
Hundreds of miles of ATV trails are surrounding this area. Less than a four mile drive gets you to ATV rentals and access to Horse back riding.
We can't wait to share our place with you and hope you fall in love with it like we have.

Perfect for utving from the front door. Easy access to trails, beautiful view, wildlife viewing, close proximity to Hill city and Keystone.
5.0 / 5.0
Simple, spacious, and quiet is how I'd describe our stay. Wish the tub would fill up faster in the master bathroom, but other than that this a great place to stay for families and everyone!
5.0 / 5.0
The location is so convenient for all Black Hills must-see spots. The house is wonderfully spacious with all the amenities we needed. We didn't cook much so not sure if there are enough cooking supplies. The only draw back is the driveway which is very steep and bumpy but that wouldn't keep us from staying here again next time we are in the area again.

Very nice place, clean, and accommodating area to our reunion
5.0 / 5.0
We had an amazing time in the Black Hills and this house was centrally located to all the things we wanted to see. The driveway was steep but that didn’t cause us any problems. We found the house was perfect for two small families as the house was split with two bedrooms and one bathroom on one side of the house and a master bedroom/bathroom on the other. There are two dining room tables and two living rooms so we were able to spread out. Nothing but a positive experience here!

Enjoyed our stay. Had some reservations regarding the driveway of death. Kind of wished the ice maker worked. Plenty of room.

Perfect home to stay in while touring the Black Hills area. We had 4 children ages 3 - 9 and they loved the game tables. Sleeping arrangements were also perfect.
4.0 / 5.0
The property was perfect for our stay with family. If you have little toddlers though make sure they are watched 100%. The yard doesn’t have a fence in front and it drops off the bank a bit. Seeing the train go by was so fun for our son but everytime he thought he needed to run towards the drop off and give me a heart attack. Nothing bad happened but my anxiety was high. We had the best time and even played pool one night as a family. Very affordable and accommodating! Within close proximity of all the attractions and fun things to do in the black hills!
5.0 / 5.0
Due to unforeseen circumstances, only half of our large family group ended up staying at Whistle Stop Cabin. But the half that did were very happy with the house! They raved about the location saying how convenient it was to all the local sites-Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, etc. Brandon was very easy to reach and helpful with the few questions we had. Saw deer from the front porch and enjoyed watching the train go by. Our family definitely recommended this rental in the future.
3.0 / 5.0
Unfortunately we had some issues during our stay and because of that I cannot recommend this property.
1. This is a barebones property with several basic items not available. For example, there is no laundry basket, no soap or shampoo in the bathrooms, limited utensils in the kitchen etc. we were not aware that soap was not available. You can tell not much thought has been put into what a potential guest might need.
2. Our kids saw a mouse in the property and that made the stay of our family uncomfortable. I spoke with the owner who was very responsive and sent the housekeeper to check on the mouse traps the next day who found a mouse in one of the traps. According to the owner, mice are common in black hills and sometimes they get in. I understand that but I have stayed at remote cabin in hills before and never had an issue. This may be a one off incident though so please take it with a grain of salt.
3. The biggest problem and something that needs to be immediately addressed is that we were not aware that the drive is at a significant slope and the asphalt on it in a bad shape. There are several large potholes on the drive way. We had a large and tall passenger van and were quite unstable going up and down. Moreover, when you reach the top, there is no easy way to turn a large vehicle around. It was dicey and I wish we knew the situation beforehand.
The owner is a nice guy and very responsive to our concerns with the mice. But the property needs updating.

4.0 / 5.0
The location was beautiful, right in the Black Hills, and the place had plenty of space for our group of six. The host was good with communicating and even let us check in a few hours early when we arrived on Thursday. We had planned to stay until Monday. Unfortunately, we had to check out early on Saturday morning due to a mouse problem in the rental, and VRBO and the owner refunded us for the time left of our booking. We reached out to the owner when we saw the first mouse, the first night we were there. He responded that his exterminator had just been there 2 days prior and had found no signs of mice, but we aren’t sure how the exterminator could have missed the signs-we have photos of droppings in various areas throughout the house, and of the 4 mice we saw in the day and a half that we were there. We understand that this is a rural location and sometimes mice happen, but with 3 young children in our group we just could not stay there any longer as we did not feel that the issue was under control.

We had a wonderful time at Whistle Stop. It was a great location for the things we wanted to do. We would recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
We tried to spend as much time out and about as possible, but the house was a great resting spot. Great location to drive to Hill City, Keystone, and Rapid City and lots of great hiking nearby.
The two boys spent any of their time at the house playing foosball.

We stayed so we’d be close to Mt Rushmore for a visit but still have some quiet family time away from the tourist areas. This cabin was great! It had space, was very tidy and had all the amenities of home.

This property was perfect for our "Cousin's Weekend" in the beautiful Black Hills! Everything you could want to do is just a short drive away, yet the cabin is remote enough that you still feel like you are getting away from it all. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We mostly enjoyed the spacious living area (2 living rooms) and the large kitchen and dining space. Better than a hotel, by far!

My family of 5 stayed here for our week of exploring the Black Hills area. The home was very clean, spacious and in a great location to everything we wanted to see. I highly recommend the Whistle Stop. We would definitely stay here again!!

This was a great experience, situated near many of the Black Hills attractions. The house was the perfect size for our family of nine. The kids could play outside and teens could spread out comfortably. The house is near the 1880 Train track so we got to see and hear the train pass. It was just far enough away so that it was charming and not obnoxious. The host was very responsive and fabulous to work with.

It was a wonderful place. Very clean and nice view of the meadow!!
5.0 / 5.0
The property we stayed at was excellent and fit our needs perfectly. The house was really nice. We had 4 children with us ages 9 to 12, so would have been nice if the yard was bigger, as the boys wanted to play ball. But they still found plenty to do. The driveway probably needs a little repair. Wouldn't want to navigate it in the winter time. All in all this property was great.
5.0 / 5.0
We loved this property. It was comfortable and well equipped. The big front porch was a nice place to sit and see the deer in the meadow. We also watched the 1880 train roll by..

Did lots the Black Hills have to offer, including watching the 1880 train from the front porch and the Whistlestop offers a great central location from which to hit them all. Thanks for your hospitality!!

We loved this location. Close to everything we wanted to do! Grandkids loved having the train going by daily. Everything in the house was perfect for us. We even played games in the evening and had smores outside. Thank you for everything!!

5.0 / 5.0
We loved the location of this property. It was centralized to all the things to do in the Black Hills. The town of Hill City had everything we needed (groceries, gas, and even a church of our faith) and it was all within about 10 mins from the house. The view is great! We watched the train go past twice, had turkeys in the front yard, and saw a deer in the field across the road. There was a lot of space for our 3 boys to spread out to read, do a puzzle, or play. There isn't much room outside for them to play, but the space inside was great. The only draw backs was one of the transition pieces on the floor between the dining room and kitchen had a nail sticking up and I ruined 2 pairs of socks with it. We would hammer it down and it was back up within a few hours. Also, when we got there the heater was broken. We called Brandon and went through a few things to try to fix it, but was unable to do so. He was very kind and apologetic. Unfortunately, the entire week we were there he could not find anybody to come fix it, but he did have a little gas fireplace and an electric fireplace in there and between the 2 we were able to keep the house warm.

All was great. Would definitely stay again.
5.0 / 5.0
The property was just as it was advertised! Large spacious living areas, kitchen, bedrooms and baths. The house was very clean and the kitchen well equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the porch every evening. The driveway is steep but presented no problems in getting in or out. We would rent this property again!
Our only suggestion would be to include instructions on how to get to the property from either Keystone or Hill City. We had the physical
address but it was confusing to get to since cell service in the area is very spotty.
5.0 / 5.0
Our party of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our granddaughters loved waving at the passengers on the 1880 train. We had more than ample room for all of us to sprawl out without feeling like we were crowded. Every question/problem before we arrived was answered/solved very promptly. Thank you Brandon for being so patient with me! We thoroughly recommend this property for your stay in the Black Hills. Location is great for sightseeing as the location is centrally located.
