Great property and a great stay! The location was perfect, with easy access to Mount Rushmore and everything the area has to offer. The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were looking for. The host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and very accommodating.

The cabin and property have an interesting history which was great to know. However we feel more attention could be made towards comfort. The king size bed mattress needs to be replaced as well as the pillows, more options available for tv use, and we were looking forward to kayaking but the water was too shallow to actually kayak. While the views were stunning, the grounds outside needed attention. Overall the location of this cabin is ideal in proximity to many of the parks, monuments and sights we visited.

This is one of the most memorable vacation rentals I have ever stayed in. The property is far more than the already-large front and back yards. The actual Strato Bowl, creek, trails and surrounding grounds are open for walking and exploring, making it feel like a private mountain retreat.The home sits at the end of a winding gravel road down into the forest and creek area, creating wonderful seclusion. Sitting on the back porch overlooking the grassy yard, creek and swimming hole, you feel like you have your own multi-million-dollar retreat. Other than birds and rustling leaves, it is remarkably quiet.The home is older but thoughtfully updated and very comfortable. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked, the bathroom clean and supplied with everything needed, and there are books and games for relaxing days.Owner Ken greeted us personally and showed us around. He grew up in this home, and his pride and care for the property are obvious. He even created a trail map with photos of destinations and wildlife.We wanted more than a place to sleep—we wanted somewhere to read, walk, hike, think and unwind. This was exactly that. Of the dozens of vacation rentals I’ve stayed in, this is at the very top of my list.Scenic, secluded, majestic, inviting, idyllic, warm, comfortable, accessible, and deeply peaceful. It is the rare vacation rental where staying at the property can be every bit as enjoyable as going out to see the surrounding attractions.

Great experience! Did have to check in personally with host to sign waivers, which was unexpected, but helpful to get info about the property and area. Was such a great property to stay at with the swimming hole and trails. Location to all of the things to explore in the area was also good.

This home offers all that you'd need for a wonderful vacation in South Dakota. Ken was prompt and very kind in answering questions we had prior to our arrival. Shortly after our arrival Kens daughter greeted us and in conversation we learned the history of the family home which we found very interesting. This home is the most well stocked home we've ever rented and included many things other rentals do not have. There were plenty of towels (bath,hand & washcloth), beach towels, shampoo, conditioner & body soap dispensers in the shower, hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper and even kleenex were provided. Despite the homes age it has central air which my husband was very appreciative of as the temperatures were in the 90's. It's central to many places to visit in South Dakota yet also offers so much to do if you choose to spend a day at the house. The kids enjoyed the swimming hole, kayaks and trails on the property, while we enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching them have fun. My husband and I enjoyed early morning walks on the trails while the boys slept in. Thank you Ken & family for sharing your home and property with us.

From our family to yours, thank you. We are fortunate to be “stewards” of this very special place and adore this cabin. It brings us great joy to be able to share with others who appreciate the experience.

This property is such a hidden gem! It was immaculately clean and we could have stayed on the property for our entire stay. The kids loved swimming, diving, and fishing in the creek. We explored the cave, hiked, and enjoyed evenings on the deck. Ken and his family were such great hosts - we were treated like family. We would love to be able to stay again next time we're in the area!

The Best South Dakota Trip!

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!

Stay in the Stratobowl

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.

Amazing and Beautiful

Our family stayed here in early July. It was beautiful! The kids had an amazing time in the swimming hole. Every small detail planned by the host was appreciated. There were games for adults, toys for children, beach towels and extra toiletries if you forget something! Great host, great house, great history!
