Fun Historic Cabin with the Best Swimming Hole on Spring Creek

The view is great, the hiking is good, and the location is excellent.

Great experience! Did have to check in personally with host to sign waivers, which was unexpected, but helpful to get info about the property and area. Was such a great property to stay at with the swimming hole and trails. Location to all of the things to explore in the area was also good.

Great relaxing property with lots of hiking in a convenient are in the Black Hills. Really enjoyed Kayaking in the river and just sitting outside relaxing to the sounds.

It has all the things! Modern amenities and appliances and charm of a cabin that’s seen lots of joy over the decades. The host greeted us and gave us an overview of the trails on the property. We didn’t explore any of them since we were hitting all the parks by day. The teens enjoyed the kayaks and floating in the swimming hole. I enjoyed the deck and the sound of rushing water while reading or doom-scrolling. We enjoyed our stay so much and were lucky it was available for 1 more night. Don’t miss out on this amazing space!

This property is such a hidden gem! It was immaculately clean and we could have stayed on the property for our entire stay. The kids loved swimming, diving, and fishing in the creek. We explored the cave, hiked, and enjoyed evenings on the deck. Ken and his family were such great hosts - we were treated like family. We would love to be able to stay again next time we're in the area!

Property was amazing!! The house was clean and the swimming hole was so much fun for my kids! It was very centrally located to all the attractions we wanted to see and the trails accessible right from the house were beautiful!! An amazing spot!!!

Our family stayed here in early July. It was beautiful! The kids had an amazing time in the swimming hole. Every small detail planned by the host was appreciated. There were games for adults, toys for children, beach towels and extra toiletries if you forget something! Great host, great house, great history!

Words can’t describe this cabin/location. It was breath taking and peaceful. My boys spent hours upon hours fishing and kayaking in the swimming hole. The hikes were beautiful. The cabin fit us all perfectly. We will be back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Outstanding home stocked full of all the necessary household items and supplies to make my stay with four grandsons (one 17 yrs old, three 16 yr old) in an idyllic stream-runs-through-it wooded property in the StratoBowl historic and scenic area just outside of Rapid City. We enjoyed hiking, fishing, swimming, and panning for gold. Great proximity to local ATV trail rentals and to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, and The Badlands National Park.

My boys and I had the trip of a lifetime! The property was absolutely stunning—far beyond what we imagined. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing outdoor getaway. Ken and his family were incredible hosts, and the space was spotless and perfect for the whole family. We’ll definitely be back for more!

Close to all the tourist attractions, but could have totally spent the whole weekend on this gorgeous property without leaving! Exceeded our expectations!

We enjoyed the accommodations, meeting the host, and the beautiful hiking trails.

It was fantastic! Great location. Kids had fun swimming/using kayaks at the swimming hole. Cabin accommodations were great!

Property is beautiful. House well stocked, clean, comfortable, cozy. Wonderful location - able to enjoy so much the Black Hills has to offer.

We had a wonderful stay at the Creekside House. The house is charming, very well cared for, and hands down the cleanest vacation rental I've stayed at. The hosts are quick to respond to any questions. Great location for relaxing or seeing the sights. seeingsights.requeiries.

Staying here was the highlight of our visit to the Black Hills! The cabin was clean and cozy with lots of character. Ken was an excellent host. The views are absolutely stunning, and it felt like we had the whole valley to ourselves. My kids and I loved kayaking in the swimming hole and exploring the stream (highly recommend water shoes!).

Enjoyed the greenhouse, perfectly between Rapid City and Mt Rushmore

I don't think we could've fit more in in our four days day we were welcomed warmly by lynn, and she communicated some places we might like to visit via text message. The home was immaculate.... Plenty of supplies to assist our stay. We enjoyed all the amenities of the stream by fishing and hiking... Was nicely centrally located to go to Mount Rushmore, Lake Sylvan, Custer state park & the badlands.... If we are to return to this area, we will definitely use this cabin again Plenty of supplies

Such a stunning property! I was mesmerized by the beautiful creek in the backyard. We took a short hike that followed the creek. The house is very cozy. I didn't want to leave because it was so peaceful. Unfortunately,We were unable to swim in the creek because it was unseasonably cold for mid-June with highs barely reaching 70 degrees. We left 100 degree temps in St. Louis. So, the break from the head an humidity was exactly what we needed! I was only slightly bummed by the colder weather because the view of the creek and the mountains just took my breath away.

We had the most amazing time! The property was beautiful, super clean, with historical charm. The views and serenity of the StratoBowl are incomparable. Our kids LOVED the creek with the kayaks and could have spent an entire day out just doing that. We decided our stay was too short! We saw a ton of local attractions and would have loved one more day to spend exclusively at the cabin! Thank you!
