Spring Creek Splendor. The Perfect Location. Private Lower Level Apartment. Fun!

To see short video of the property: Search YouTube Vrbo#1291113

This newly constructed walkout apartment is just a few feet from the enchanting sounds and solitude of Spring Creek. Huge front windows provide great light and visibility of the creek, willows, scenic bridge, pine trees and surrounding mountains. It does not seem like you are on a lower level. Good internet and cell service is available. Very open floor plan in the round makes for great family space accented by the natural pinewood bar and autumn gold slate gas fireplace. Located three miles south of charming Hill City, guests are only a short stroll from the Mickelson Trail, 15 minutes from Mount Rushmore and Sylvan Lake, 10 minutes from Custer, 30 minutes from Rapid City, and less than one hour from Deadwood and the winter sports areas near Lead.

This is a spacious fully furnished walkout apartment with huge windows and a large private patio where the gurgling brook, meadow, and scenic pines invite exploration. Deer, turkeys, and chipmunks are frequent visitors. The creek has catchable rainbow trout.

This circular shaped structure is a "Mandala" kit home and fits into this alpine hillside beautifully. The cozy furnishings and natural Black Hills slate gas fireplace will help you relax after a day enjoying the historic sites and unforgettable adventures which abound in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
The master bedroom has a comfortable queen bed and a direct opening to the patio. The second bedroom also has an excellent queen size bed.

The activities available are beyond description but some of our favorites include:
Biking and hiking on the Mickelson Trail
Eating at the Alpine Inn in Hill City, Skogen Kitchen in Custer.
Hiking to the top of Black Elk Peak (tallest peak between the Rockies and the Alps)
Fishing
Historic sites galore- Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Deadwood, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave, Badlands National Park, Pine Ridge and Wounded Knee, The Open Cut at Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, etc.
Swimming at Sheridan, Sylvan, Pactola Lakes, Cascade Falls, Hippy Hole, Angostura Reservoir
Devil's Tower
1880 Train
Black Hills Geologic Institute
Lost Cabin Brewery
Centennial Hiking Trail
Picnics anywhere
Wine on the patio and watch the sunset
Look for satellites in the incredibly bejeweled starry heavens
Exploring the art galleries
The wildflowers
Horseback trail rides
Chuckwagon rides and suppers
Rock climbing with Sylvan Rocks
And the list goes on...

We would love to share our prized piece of these amazing Black Hills!

Liked: Cleanliness
The owner was kind and was easy to communicate with. The property was clean. The downside to this property is how close it is to the highway and the noise of the cars. Additionally, there was someone staying upstairs and we could hear every footstep. This made sleeping past 7am difficult and didn't make it feel very private. I hate leaving a negative review. Our stay just wasn't as relaxed and comfortable because of these issues.

Pleasant cabin

We have stayed at this cabin twice. We love the location. It's pretty private other than the neighbors up the way. Unfortunately, we have not seen fish in the creek. Nonetheless it's still a pleasant get away. The first time we stayed the landscaping was done very well. This time the weeds were quite tall and a bit of a nuisance. I'm sure we'll be back for round three :)

Perfect getaway

We loved the proximity Hideaway was to all the things on our list to see and do. We could leave out early in the morning and explore, come back for a nap, and then go out again. Hideaway was very peaceful at night. We enjoyed sitting outside and listening to birds and watching wildlife. We saw deer, a groundhog, rabbits, birds, and a chipmunk. The manager responded to questions and this place was exactly as advertised. Would definitely recommend.

It was a nice place. Good location.

Overall nice place to stay. No air conditioning but at night it cooled off well. Faster Internet and a smart TV would be awesome. Not sure if a different time of year would have produced fish in the creek, none while we were there.Good central area for the activities we did. We would stay there again.

This is a perfect location if you want to be in the middle of the Black Hills. Very close to Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Iron Mountain Road, Needles Highway, Custer and just 3 miles to Hill City. Very quiet and well off the road. The space is roomy and there's a collection of DVD's to watch and books to read. Nice patio, Washer Dryer, well appointed kitchen and parking right outside the door.

Incredible Property and Great Location

I know it’s common to say “I would stay here again” in a review, but I would actually go out of my way to stay here if I found myself in the Black Hills again. It literally had everything we needed for our 5 days in the Black Hills. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed for the days we decided to cook, and it is extremely easy to access all the tourist sites from it. We were 13 minutes from Mount Rushmore, a beautiful 20 minute drive to Sylvan Lake, 30 minutes to Wind Cave and Jewel Cave and as near to the Needles Scenic Highway as you can get. There were games for the kids to play and movies to watch, but we were so busy with everything that there was no do that we didn’t have much time for that. You won’t regret staying here.
