Well stocked, clean, comfortable, & if you're lucky, you'll get to spend some quality time with Ken learning the his history & the history of the area.

We took a short hike that followed the creek. The house is very cozy. I didn't want to leave because it was so peaceful. Unfortunately,We were unable to swim in the creek because it was unseasonably cold for mid-June with highs barely reaching 70 degrees. We left 100 degree temps in St. Louis. So, the break from the head an humidity was exactly what we needed! I was only slightly bummed by the colder weather because the view of the creek and the mountains just took my breath away. ##### Jo Anna E.

The cabin is in a great location. It is 20 minutes from Mt. Rushmore. About 40 minutes from Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. Everything that we wanted to do was just a short drive away. But make sure you plan at least one day to explore around the cabin! We ended up staying two days relaxing by the creek. My two grandsons, ages 3 and 4, loved playing in the swimming hole. My older kids liked floating down the creek a short ways. There is a cave to explore and hiking trails. It is one of the most beautiful places. I enjoyed relaxing on the back deck and down by the creek. If you are looking for a peaceful, private place, this is it! Ken and Cory are the best!! They are very sweet people. Ken told us some history of the strata bowl and times he spent there as a child. My hole family would love to go back!! ##### Jonatha B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### R. D.

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. ##### R. D.
