Bob J. Jun 16, 2025 07:43:46 AM
Summary: 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.
Lesley F. Jun 14, 2025 01:35:48 AM
Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!).
Doug F. Aug 4, 2024 04:42:18 AM
Summary: Enjoyed the greenhouse, perfectly between Rapid City and Mt Rushmore
Heidi m. Aug 1, 2024 06:08:27 AM
Summary: 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
