Hill City Get a Way

Old Town Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. The cottage was spotless and very comfortable . The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. We loved that it’s a very short walk into town where there were many nice places to eat. It’s centrally located in the Black Hills so Mt. Rushmore, Sylvan Lake State Park and many other popular activities are a short drive.
