History

Early 2021, Sam and Linda Brown sold

the Hill City BnB vacation rental property

which was owned, operated and loved by them

for 15 years—2006-2021.

They have retained the name

Black Hills Home Cabins

(allowing the BnB name Mountains To Prairies

to leave with the sale, but no longer in use).

The new BnB name reflects

past patrons' enthusiasm

for the owners' Chokecherry creations

over the years,

from Chokecherry Kuchen to Chokecherry Latte!

Chokecherry Bed and Breakfast

Our new website — wildchokecherry.com

The BnB is officially licensed in South Dakota

and is open for taking reservations,

offering two Black Hills Cabins in our home!

Our nightly vacation rental accommodations and home-based (for paying guests) Smiling Bear Antiques (as well as Smiling Bear's EspressJoe Menu) are situated IN ✧ Hill City, which feels in many delightful ways as if out in the piney woods, a small (and very likable) mountain town in the ✧ CENTRAL Black Hills, an exceptional location for ✧ adventuring in any direction on the scenic highways that take you to your planned or unplanned activities, and ✧ having foot access to a wonderful selection of in-town conveniences, such as shopping and dining.

We are blessed indeed to remain settled near Mount Rushmore and the many other truly great iconic magnets that call out to travelers, from the mountains to the prairies!

Save Your Driving Time For Site-Seeing

In the HEART of the Hills, we are near MOUNT RUSHMORE, Custer State Park (for the ultimate viewing of buffalo, elk, antelope, wild burros and other wildlife), Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Crazy Horse Memorial, Black Elk Wilderness, Needles Highway, Cathedral Spires, mountain lakes (Sheridan, Pactola, Sylvan, Deerfield, Stockade, Legion, Bismarck, and Hill City's own Major Lake), BLACK ELK PEAK formerly Harney Peak, Norbeck Scenic Byway, the 111 mile long Centennial Trail.

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 (fifteen so far) 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 again being host and hostess . . . at our new Black Hills Home Cabins (or for real breakfast enthusiasts, 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 offer engaging in-home cabin accommodations—Eloosive Moose and Chokecherry Hideout—here in Hill City.
