About this property

~ Cozy Creek Side Cabin ~ Nature ~ Peaceful ~ Relax ~Family!

***Our cabin is located in Rochford NOT Hill City—the mailing address is Hill City and VRBO lists it as Hill City but it is located in the town of Rochford, SD. Also, the address for the cabin is across the street from what is posted—again—VRBO would not list it at the correct address. I give you exact/step-by-step directions on how to get there when you book.

This is a “cabin” but also a nice, clean, comfortable home.

Our cabin is nestled in the heart of the central Black Hills 1/2 block from the popular Moonshine Gulch Saloon and right on the Mickelson Trail and Rapid Creek.

Our cabin offers the quiet serene beauty of the Black Hills with some of the most incredible rides imaginable just outside the back door.
Located in Rochford SD just 22 miles from Deadwood and 35 miles to Sturgis. Paved roads the entire way from Hwy 14 Lead/Deadwood area. If coming from Hwy 385 you can take the 11 mile gravel road to get to Rochford.

Ideally accommodates 2 couples, but can sleep a family of 6 comfortably. One bedroom has a queen bed, the other bedroom has a queen bed and a bunk bed (2 twin beds). It has 1 bathroom with tub/shower.
It is fully furnished with a washer/dryer, towels, linens kitchen utensils, coffee maker, blender, crock pot etc., it has a window air conditioner (when necessary—but barely needed), wood fireplace, gas Weber BBQ grill, and a garage for motorcycle, car, or ATV parking. Large deck off the back of the entire cabin which faces the creek. There is also an outdoor fire table with seating.


We have Wifi at the cabin and you can use your smart phone with the TV that has Roku. There are board games, cards, a 50" TV/DVD player and we have some movies for evening entertainment. There are also outdoor games —corn hole and croquet!


Everyone who has stayed had commented about taking one day just to enjoy relaxing at the cabin, playing in the creek, finding new trails and just walking around the small town—so keep that in mind when booking!



Please feel free to ask any questions. This is our family cabin that we have owned for over 20 years where we have created many wonderful family memories and we hope you will create some of your own!

Home away from home

Our stay was wonderful. We enjoyed the serenity of the location with the stream in back of the property. The amenities in the house was excellent, including kitchen needs, washer and dryer, and and comfortable space for relaxing. We had excellent communication with owners. We would stay here again.

The location to the Michelson trail is extremely close( we came to bike). The backyard is large and has a view of the trail. Our dog enjoyed playing ball in the back yard and taking long walks down the country roads nearby. The house is also situated on a creek and has a swing located on the back of the property to view the creek. The town of Rochford ( where the house is situated) is extremely quaint and charming. There is a book in the house called "The History of Rochford" which I ended up reading every night. The town gives you the feeling of living in the Gold Rush Days. Right across the street is the original school house & up the street is the small cute church plus the original saloon!

So serene

Loved our stay in Rochfort! The cabin has everything we needed. Especially a swing along the river. It was all so delightful. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Saw deer and bunnies every day. What’s not to love?

Time to disconnect

Beautiful location, we loved it. The place is hard to find because the picture is of the back of the house. The street view is totally different, they have a different address on the mailbox. They sent us a email outside of VBRO with check-in information, so it got lost in my junk email. Trying to contact the owner was horrible. When she finally answered she was annoyed and straight up rude. In addition, there is no cell phone or internet service except at the local bar. When I did finally find the email the lockbox code was wrong. Great place, loved our stay, but have all your check-in information before you leave. Once you get there you are on your own and the owners won't help you.

Perfect spot to spend a week in the Black Hills! Very clean, Wi-Fi (helped with lack of phone service) and comfortable cabin. Rental had everything we could ask for and more. Loads of space to park our 20 foot trailer (transported our 2 Can-Ams) for the week. Our first VRBO experience and I’m afraid we are spoiled by this stay!! Rochford had a great ice cream/general store and Moonshine Gulch Bar had fantastic burgers…within an easy walking distance. Also perfect for our 5 year old doodle. Loads of space to sniff around! Would return anytime!

Daily Deer Visits

An awesome experience every day. Deer visits daily, sitting on the swing listening to the birds and the water from the creek was so peaceful. The cabin was perfect with all supplies needed. The George Mickelson trail is just down the road and it meanders through beautiful valleys. We will definitely come back.

Lovely little cabin in nature :)

Beautiful little place off the beaten path. House is cozy and nature is all around to enjoy. Bring bikes as there are amazing bike paths all around. The creek is fun and we enjoyed our stay. House is well appointed and kept up. Be prepared to drive a bit when you are there, but it’s a beautiful place to be!

We loved this place! Even better than expected. We love to fly fish and enjoy the outdoors and we had the best of both worlds here. We were supplied with everything we needed, my only regret was not being able to stay longer. We dream of living in the area and we’re so thankful and blessed to have found this wonderful place! Thank you for sharing and as much as we’d love to have it to ourselves, we’ll spread the word!
