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.

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! ##### Emily C.

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....

Didn’t realize the swimming hole is shared with another property but it wasn’t a problem at all. Also was a little unclear with the check in process— but was all sorted out quickly!

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. ##### Jo Anna E.

Love all of the decor. Map of the property with hiking trails and pictures are available. Quite simply the best part of this cabin is the quiet escape from the rush (especially during Sturgis) AMAZING views, the swimming hole was excellent, kayaks available, water was pristine, I just cannot say enough cool things about this place...

It was nestled on a quiet road, with lots of privacy, and had a fantastic swimming hole right out the back door. It was a cozy place to unwind, enjoy the views, watch the wildlife and relax.

My family and I had the best family vacation to date!! The house is big and so full of history! The cabin is in a great location. It is 20 minutes from Mt. Rushmore. About 40 minutes from Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. Everything that we wanted to do was just a short drive away. But make sure you plan at least one day to explore around the cabin! We ended up staying two days relaxing by the creek. My two grandsons, ages 3 and 4, loved playing in the swimming hole. My older kids liked floating down the creek a short ways. There is a cave to explore and hiking trails. It is one of the most beautiful places. I enjoyed relaxing on the back deck and down by the creek. If you are looking for a peaceful, private place, this is it! Ken and Cory are the best!! They are very sweet people. Ken told us some history of the strata bowl and times he spent there as a child. My hole family would love to go back!! ##### Jonatha B.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob J. 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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. ##### Bob J.

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. ##### Natalie W.

Property was beautiful with the swimming hole and stream. Hiking trails to overlook the area was amazing. Close to places we wanted to visit. Would stay there again! ##### Kristin P.
