About this property

Family Friendly Vacation Home Near Hill City

Peaceful creek side home on a paved road in the heart of the Black Hills just 3 miles south of Hill City. Relax on the large deck and listen to the running creek in the front yard then cozy up to the wood fireplace in the family room when it's cool. Perfect home away from home close to Mt. Rushmore, 1880 train, Crazy Horse, Mickelson Trail, Custer State Park, and anything you wish to see in the Black Hills as this is centrally located making it easy for day trips. An ideal spot for family vacations, exploring the back roads of the Hills on atv's with trails just up the road or hiking the Mickelson trail nearby. Motorcycle riders love our place since it's all paved roads. Our home provides you with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Master bedroom has it's own bathroom and walk out deck overlooking the creek. Leave the window open at night and sleep to the sound of the creek. There is a log bunk bed at the end of the living room with the bottom bed a queen and the top a twin. A wood fireplace for those chilly evenings. Fully furnished kitchen, but need to bring your own food. Gas grill, tv and DVD player. Bedding provided. No pets allowed. WE NOW HAVE AIR CONDITIONING!

Such a wonderful place to stay. You’re away from everything but very close to town. It’s really perfect There are ATVs that drive by but they don’t start until around 9 My husband and I are early risers and could sit on the deck (which also has electric outlets for my coffee warmer) and enjoy the morning, listen to the birds, watch the chipmunks, listen to the creek and just enjoy Gods creation. The perfect way to start the day. It does have alot of stairs which they show in the pictures We are older and opted to stay in the middle floor bedroom to avoid some stairs. That worked perfect for us Melissa was very easy to communicate with. WiFi worked great If we return to South Dakota we will hopefully be able to stay here!

Peaceful Stay

We were able to go to all the surrounding areas to view the sights and hike around, then return here for a secluded, peaceful night sleep! It had everything we needed- listening to the river each morning while drinking coffee was my favorite! Thanks for a great family stay! My kids (7&9) loved the bunk beds and bridges!

Stay in the Black Hills!

The property was very clean & quiet. It was the perfect place to base our Side by Side adventures out of. Parking is very restricted though. Our Ford Ranger & 16 ft trailer BARELY made it across the bridge. Other than that our stay was amazing.

Relaxing home base

Great place for our family to come home to. Our kids were asking to have time just hanging out in the house. We especially loved opening the windows and listening to the creek run past. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great location!

This perfect location was a perfect escape! The house was well supplied with anything you may need including laundry supplies and dishes and cooking supplies for the kitchen. It was a great home away from home and our kids were so happy they didn't notice there was no wi-fi! It was a successful family stay.

Buffalo Roundup!

Great location for us. 2 couples over 60 years of age. Close to Hill City and Rapid City and Keystone. The train and ATV rentals available in Hill City were fun and the restaurants were good. We enjoyed the house.

LOVED This Cabin!

My two sisters and I stayed at this cozy cabin for a "sisters' weekend." We loved the secluded location, coziness, decor, space, and layout! We brought four-wheelers/quads and a dirt bike along and enjoyed the close proximity to riding trails, beautiful scenery, and wildlife of the Black Hills. The stream a short distance from the house was an added bonus! We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Nelson

Host profile image
We love riding motorcycles around the Black Hills and were looking for a home that we could stay in while riding, or visiting with our family then rent when we are not there. We found many homes but most were on gravel. This property is on a paved road that also gives us the peacefulness of the Black Hills. The creek in the front yard was the deal maker for us. We enjoy our time just the two of us and also when we bring our 4 grown children to visit. Come visit God's country.

Why they chose this property

Relaxing flowing creek on property, paved road, close to Hill City.
