History

The previous Hill City BnB vacation rental property
which was owned, operated and loved
by the Brown's for 15 years—2006-2021—
was sold in anticipation
of potentially becoming great-grandparents
and desiring more time available for that prospect.
They retained the name
Black Hills Home Cabins
(allowing the BnB name Mountains To Prairies
to leave with the sale, but no longer in use).
 
You are invited to visit our original blog
to see the early stories.

   

Present
 
The new BnB name reflects
past patrons' enthusiasm
for the owners' Chokecherry creations,
in particular . . . Wild Chokecherry Latte!

And few places offer refreshment better than the Black Hills.

Can you see yourself here? Any season you please  . . .
Through the soft snow of spring the wild crocus peeks;
Summer, in the sunset of wild raspberries, we reap;
The crisp fall leaves tell of neighbors in the forest deep; 
And winter quiets the thoughts of everything that breathes.

Hospitality that shows
you are on our minds.
 
A B O U T  U S
but really about you

Over the years many satisfied guests have taken time to write genuinely fond online reviews, as well as heart-warming notes in our many guest books, on the cleanliness and comfort of their guest nests, on the deliciousness of their breakfasts, and on the friendliness of their hosts. Our former hospitality business was pleasingly intermingled as both bed and breakfast and Black Hills Home Cabins. And over the years there were many happy expressions by our guests referring to their space as their CABIN. We love the excitement about cabins, and so that is what our vacation rental business transition has settled into, just on a smaller scale than what we grew into for 15 years with the help of two amusing summer-granddaughters. Please visit our Black Hills Home Cabins facebook page and view the photos showing all the fun and adventure we have enjoyed in our roles as host and hostess, and there are even some photos which show guestbook comments!

We love that our new place is built in the beating heart of this charming mountain town, especially since Hill City is so friendly and brimming with history. And we love the central location in the beautiful Black Hills National Forest. Hill City truly is the HEART of the Hills!

There are so many intriguing choices for recreational direction that we often pause before driving into our adventure and inquire of each other, 'Which way should we go?' One of our favorite things to do is to take the scenic drive to Sylvan Lake and hike around the lake, soaking in the beauty from granite vantage points along the way. Another favorite is to take the scenic drive along Mount Rushmore Road and park at Horsethief Lake, where we can begin at the boardwalk for a hike around the lake. Serene, lovely, enchanting! Often on Sunday afternoons, we will pick a way to go to Custer State Park or perhaps Wind Cave National Park, where we may begin our outing with a nap, then view buffalo and other wildlife, and go for a nature walk.

We are exhilarated about being host and hostess once again . . . offering Black Hills Home Cabins at Chokecherry Bed and Breakfast.  

Without question, we are deeply grateful for the glorious years we have been enriched by, getting to know so many of the wonderful travelers (thousands!) who venture to the alluring Black Hills that are our home. And we are excitedly anticipating meeting many more, maybe you, as we present these engaging in-home cabin accommodations—Eloosive Moose and Chokecherry Hideout—here in Hill City.
