About this property

Spring Creek Splendor. The Perfect Location. Private Lower Level Apartment. Fun!

  • To see short video of the property: Search YouTube Vrbo#1291113

    This newly constructed walkout apartment is just a few feet from the enchanting sounds and solitude of Spring Creek. Huge front windows provide great light and visibility of the creek, willows, scenic bridge, pine trees and surrounding mountains. It does not seem like you are on a lower level. Good internet and cell service is available. Very open floor plan in the round makes for great family space accented by the natural pinewood bar and autumn gold slate gas fireplace. Located three miles south of charming Hill City, guests are only a short stroll from the Mickelson Trail, 15 minutes from Mount Rushmore and Sylvan Lake, 10 minutes from Custer, 30 minutes from Rapid City, and less than one hour from Deadwood and the winter sports areas near Lead.

    This is a spacious fully furnished walkout apartment with huge windows and a large private patio where the gurgling brook, meadow, and scenic pines invite exploration. Deer, turkeys, and chipmunks are frequent visitors. The creek has catchable rainbow trout.

    This circular shaped structure is a "Mandala" kit home and fits into this alpine hillside beautifully. The cozy furnishings and natural Black Hills slate gas fireplace will help you relax after a day enjoying the historic sites and unforgettable adventures which abound in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
    The master bedroom has a comfortable queen bed and a direct opening to the patio. The second bedroom also has an excellent queen size bed.

    The activities available are beyond description but some of our favorites include:
    Biking and hiking on the Mickelson Trail
    Eating at the Alpine Inn in Hill City, Skogen Kitchen in Custer.
    Hiking to the top of Black Elk Peak (tallest peak between the Rockies and the Alps)
    Fishing
    Historic sites galore- Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Deadwood, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave, Badlands National Park, Pine Ridge and Wounded Knee, The Open Cut at Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, etc.
    Swimming at Sheridan, Sylvan, Pactola Lakes, Cascade Falls, Hippy Hole, Angostura Reservoir
    Devil's Tower
    1880 Train
    Black Hills Geologic Institute
    Lost Cabin Brewery
    Centennial Hiking Trail
    Picnics anywhere
    Wine on the patio and watch the sunset
    Look for satellites in the incredibly bejeweled starry heavens
    Exploring the art galleries
    The wildflowers
    Horseback trail rides
    Chuckwagon rides and suppers
    Rock climbing with Sylvan Rocks
    And the list goes on...

    We would love to share our prized piece of these amazing Black Hills!
