Secluded Creekside cabin with access to the best swimming hole on Spring Creek

Located in the historic and beautiful Stratobowl. Sleeps 6. This home was built into the landscape of a rugged canyon. The location is very isolated, yet convenient to Rapid City and attractions. Large windows provide incredible wilderness view up Spring Creek. Surrounded by hiking trails and Forest Service land. A bighorn sheep area borders the property. The master bedroom has a king size bed and a sleeping loft with a queen size bed. A second bedroom has a queen size bed. Both bedrooms have private decks overlooking the creek. Additionally, there are two full size beds in the basement. There is a well equipped kitchen and a very comfortable living room and a dining area. There is an entertainment center with a video library and local television channels. There is a wraparound deck with seating and relaxing areas. The master bath has both a shower and a claw foot tub. The home is a one-of-a-kind, in a very unique and beautiful setting.

Enjoy the natural beauty of the Black Hills secluded in this one-of-a-kind home along Spring Creek. The home is located in a very unique and historic area, the Stratobowl - birthplace of the Space Age where the Army Air Corps and National Geographic Society launched manned balloon flights into the stratosphere to a record 72,395 feet in 1934-35.

Wonderful secluded home!!

Every one of us enjoyed the whole property. Tons a hiking right by the house. A swimming hole that can be enjoyed! We all had wished we could have stayed at the house longer. House was clean and spacious for us 6 adults. We absolutely would stay here again! Ken was so nice when we arrived he gave us a tour of the whole property and walked us through the trail hiking map he offered. Such a genuine and kind person!
View from the main floor balcony
Little waterfall hike on property was about 15-20 minutes from the front door to the falls.
This is the view looking back toward the house from the waterfall.

A beautiful retreat!

We can’t say enough how much we loved staying at this property. It was the perfect size for our family of 6. So clean, attractive and with all the odds and ends we needed to make it our home for a week. And the setting amongst the mountains and stream were breathtaking. We were in great hands with the owners! They were very helpful and accommodating! We’ll be back again in the future!

Paradise in the Black Hills

This house is the perfect location for a Black Hills vacation. You are 20 minutes from Keystone/Mount Rushmore/Hill City, about 40 minutes to Custer State Park, 30 minutes from the Needles Highway, and about 75 minutes to Deadwood or Spearfish Canyon. Also, Rapid City is only 20-25 minutes away.House is located in a small canyon, minutes away from Spring Creek. There are hiking trails right out your door. Main bedroom has a VERY comfortable king bed!!Ken is the best host ... lots of history in the area.

Nature Made

This was the most serene and relaxing place we have ever stayed in a listed place. The description was perfect in saying it was a secluded cabin. The surrounding area of cliffs and woods offered so much peace. Any season would be so inviting. Ken was an exceptional host and very hospitable in showing us around the acreage and the history behind it!!

Magical Week

The drive into the property is pure eye candy, the 5 boys saw a deer as we approached the house! Hiking, Swimming in the pond, allowing us the use of the Kayaks and life vests!! Just the best host ever. There are certainly enough blankets, pillows and towels for any big family. We loved seeing the little chipmunks each morning and the star filled sky each night. I could not have picked a better place to bring my family to enjoy such a beautiful vacation. Thank you so very much

The location of this property is absolutely beautiful! Loved sitting on the decks and watching a momma deer and her two babies and listening to the sound of the running creek was so peaceful.

Perfect Relaxing Family Spot

This property and host are amazing! We enjoyed sitting on the decks listening to the creek, watching animals wander along the creek, hiking the property's trails, and swimming at the swimming hole. A perfect place to call home while exploring the Black Hills - close to many of the areas attractions, yet very secluded, quiet, and beautiful.

Peaceful and Relaxing stay in the mountains

Ken and Cory have created a gorgeous and peaceful home away from home. The cabin is very secluded, all the amenities you need for a nice stay, breathtaking scenery and just a short distance from Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custers State Park, Needles Highway (we went to all of these). We enjoyed a relaxing ride thru the Black Hills on the 1880 train. Very yummy restaurants, but we stocked up on groceries and cooked most meals. The history of the property that the cabin sits on is very interesting! Thank you again Ken and Cory for a remarkable vacation spot! We will be back!

Lovely property secluded in nature. We had it all...running river, swimming hole, granite and deer. This was perfect for us. We just finished the Centennial Trail and wanted a place to rest. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked seasonings. The living room has comfortable furniture with excellent views. The wrap around porch was used daily! The location was perfect for day trips to Custer, Rapid City or Hill City. The hosts are wonderful!, very knowledgeable and share our interest in outdoor activities. They even have a garden I was able to resource leafy greens and herbs. The property has a couple of trails to walk. We would definitely stay again!
