About this property

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.

    Note: Guests of the "Be House" have access to the best swimming hole on Spring Creek shown in the photos via short drive or stroll of 1/2 mi.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. It is in a great location with lots to do in immediate stratobowl area with various hiking trails and a creek with a swimming hole which our kids really enjoyed kayaking in. The house was very nice and clean with beautiful views of the canyon and creek. Ken was wonderful and very hospitable; he gave us an introduction to the house and the surrounding area on the first day we arrived which was much appreciated. We definitely would love to come back again!

This was our first time in the Black Hills and staying at Ken’s was by far one of the coolest places we have stayed. Not only does Ken make you feel at home, he shares his beautiful property for us to explore. Stratobowl is historically fascinating and stunningly beautiful. We enjoyed being close to Rapid City, Mount Rushmore, all the hikes and scenic drives around Custer States and coming back to the house to enjoy the decks overlooking the rim. We only used the upstairs beds and they are very comfortable!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
