Great Place!
The yard and creek are BEAUTIFUL, and so peaceful.We took gorgeous pictures!The rock cliff directly on the other side of the creek is MAGNIFICENT to behold.There is a full loft bed in the 'hut', that's not listed, so that's a bonus for room to sleep.There are two scantily clad cartoon girls on the wall in the hut, and no lock on that door.Just general info. The layout of the main floor in the house is great for groups!The big kitchen w/large island, flows into the dining table, which flows into the living room couches, so people can be together but with space and room.There was plenty of coffee waiting for us!The deck is very cool.The basement is neat and clean and open, but with unfinished ceiling and exposed water heater and some exercise equipment.This house is not crispy brand new, but it is clean and comfortable, roomy, and nice-and the price is awesome.The neighboring houses are very close, but you have a really nice, roomy yard with several SUPER NEAT trees where kids can run and play and explore along the creek.We were wishing we could've stayed longer! The hosts were VERY, VERY helpful and accommodating to our special requests, they were very responsive. We would stay again!

Idyllic setting
This setting had a beautiful view, was quiet and separate from neighbors, and between the deck, yard, basement, fire pit, and hot tub, had multiple spaces for people to interact. We also appreciated the open dining and living room spaces adjacent to the kitchen, as we were able to set up board games and play while cooking.

Beautiful Getaway
We had a great stay in the hills. The location was perfect and the accommodations were great. The house and surrounding area was beautiful and we enjoyed the amenities, especially the hot tub. The house was clean and had everything we needed, right down to the Christmas tree which added a special touch this time of year. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the house/area. The hosts had great communication with us. As soon as we booked, we reviewed a welcome message with instructions and the information on checking in and checking out was sent in a timely matter. Overall, a great experience and we would stay here again. Thank you.

Worst experience
I was so excited to stay & have my micro wedding at this property, I called to confirm with the property manager 3 times after online confirmation, upon arriving at property another vehicle was in the driveway, the family had also reserved the property, I had messaged the property manager that day, how could she not have realized she was giving codes to the front door to 2 different reservations, when confronted she apologized & said there weren’t any other available rentals in the area which was a lie, I later found out the property was actually booked 3 times that weekend, I not only blame VRBO but the property manager for not realizing what was happening.

Beautiful setting!
We stayed for a long weekend! Getting to the property was not a problem, and the check in process with the host was very easy! The creek flowing through the back was my absolute favorite! It was so peaceful to sit out on the deck in the morning with my coffee and just take it all in. The hot tub was perfect on the cool fall evenings too! It is located right off the highway, but there never seemed to be too much noise from it. We really enjoyed our stay!

The location is perfect for experiencing the Black Hills
• The location is perfect with great access to many sites in the BH. Liked the Johnson Siding General Store just 2 miles away for picking up a little food/liquor. Internet was reliable. Code lock for front door worked well and plenty of room to park 2 SUVs. • Backyard is gorgeous and one of the best features of the property. The view from the deck and the flowing creek are so cool! We played frisbee, bocce ball and enjoyed drinks on the deck. Deck could use a face-lift. We used the charcoal grill. A large gas grill would be nice. • Main floor was arranged nicely with room for 6 to dine and a comfortable living room with large windows. The beds were really comfortable, nice linens were plentiful. The bathrooms were clean, large. We cooked almost all our meals. Suggest more flatware, new knives, a large cutting board. Nice glass containers for leftovers. New non-stick cookware, toaster, coffee pot, and electric griddle all worked well. Suggest an icemaker. • The damp basement was really the only bummer for us. Two people ended up sleeping on the living room couches. We didn't sleep in The Hut. Without a bathroom and with two little kids, just didn’t work for us. It's a cool little space though with a great hot tub! Recommend adding an outdoor shower. The hosts are excellent communicators. They answered our questions promptly before and during our stay. We feel they truly want to offer people a great VRBO option. Many thanks Robert and Jennifer!

Excellent place to relax for a wedding weekend
The property is exactly as what is listed, right along Rapid Creek. I recently got married just a couple miles down the road and this property was perfect for members of my wedding party. It was clean, absolutely beautiful and a nice and relaxing place to stay. The hosts were great to work with and were very timely in response to any questions I had. Next time I am in the hills, I will be staying here. Thank you Robert and Jennifer!

Perfect Getaway
The property was absolutely perfect for me and my family’s vacation. It’s location was perfect for seeing both Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Monument. Rapid city was a short 15 minute or so drive into town witch was a huge plus for running into town quickly and being able to maximize or peaceful stay at the property. Best thing about the property was sleeping in the loft in the smaller building by the creek and listening to the creek running though out the night. Couldn’t beet the price compared to staying at a Hotel.

Heaven on Earth
I feel so fortunate that I found this listing when booking our vacation. The house is perfectly located if you are looking to check out the Badlands, Custer St. Park, Mt Rushmore, Deadwood and all of the other wonderful things that this area has to offer. My only regret is that we were so busy...I would have loved several days to just sit by the river. The river sounds can be heard inside the house and it is beautiful! I drank coffee and read outside every morning and it was the perfect start to each day. The owners were super communicative and we had zero issues with the reservation or property. My elderly parents and teenage daughters all agreed that we found the perfect place to stay. I had two small dogs with us, and they loved it too! If we ever get back to this area, I will absolutely book this property again!

Great Vaca
I have very high standards and I know what I like. This place met all the criteria. Pictures are exactly what this beautiful home is. 3 bedrooms 2 baths which only ONE comes equipped with a shower. All tvs came with Roku, which was cool to fall asleep too. Washer and dryer were great because I went home with clean clothes and didn’t have to clean when I unpacked! The home was clean, smelled good and very homey. I didn’t want for anything, except maybe a pizza cutter! Ha! But we made do with a knife! The jacuzzi was the highlight of our nights! It was located just outside rapid city and a gorgeous drive to and from. No complaints! Would definitely stay here again! 10/10

Creek Paradise
Wonderful location next to the creek. Plenty of space and nice accommodations. Not friendly for seniors (low toilets, no grab bars, tub shower, etc.). Updates needed on deck. Gas grill on photos but charcoal grill on site. Overall well worth the expenditures considering the peace and solitude of the location. Would book again knowing what we know...

Why they chose this property

This property is amazing. It is a peaceful getaway. I love this home it has Rapid Creek running through the backyard that backs up to the Black Hills National Forest with trees and mountains. There always seems to be plenty of wildlife to watch from mountain goats, and turkeys to deer, and ducks. It's definitely a great escape from reality.

What makes this property unique

The location alone is unique. It is a serene environment that makes you feel like your in a different world for the little while your there. There is a mini bar with a sleeping loft overlooking the creek. There is a 6ft soak tub in the master bath, with a door to the backyard to hear the water. We have a great walking path that goes around the backyard. We have a nice private backyard.
