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 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
Prairie Berry Winery and Miners microbrewery
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
Skiing and snowshoeing
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!

located near busy highway but sits back far enough so property is nice and quiet. Property stays cool even on warm days. Gas fireplace was nice to take chill out of air inside at night.
Overall, just a warm and comfy feel to the place. Ideal central location in Black Hills and highly recommend staying here on your trip to Black Hills.

I will definitely be coming back to this property on our next trip to the black hills. The apartment was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It was a great place to come home to relax after a day of seeing the sights. Peaceful and serene and close to everything.
5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our stay here. The apartment had everything our family needed. Location was central to several attractions we were visiting. Comfy beds, room sizes were good, kitchen had all the things needed. We would definitely stay again.
Things to note (didn’t affect us but may be important to others):
1) The freeway sits off behind the home so you can hear road traffic if sitting outside.
2) There is no AC. I didn’t realize that when booking & thankfully it was much cooler than normal we didn’t need AC (had to use heat), but, with the hot temps in SD, not having AC could affect your comfort level.
3) Bathroom towels are really small & thin, think hotel pool towels. But with washer/dryer you can use extra towels.
4) There is tv but only for dvd’s, it’s not a smart tv or at least we weren’t smart enough to figure it out so for 5 days we watched dvd’s.
Again, none of the above impacted us. We enjoyed our time in Hill City & surrounding areas.

My family and I had a great stay at Spring Creek. Perfect location to all the places we wanted to see an hike at. The place has everything you need for the week and is close to all the sights and parks. Hill city is right down the road for any food or stores you might want to goto. Kids love the place and enjoyed the creek out in front. Thanks for a great stay at your place.

The property is centrally located with quick access to many Black Hills attractions with a grocery and restaurants within minutes. The house is very clean and the kitchen came well stocked with tools as well as various sundries like spices, oils, coffee filters, etc. Beds and furniture were comfortable. The creek on the property provided easy hours of fun for our kids to explore and fish.

We look for a peaceful place to stay to recharge for vacation - and this did not disappoint!
The property is just surrounded by beauty, and the creek was so much fun for the kids to wade in, and the calm sound of the water washing over rocks was incredibly therapeutic - sipping coffee out there each morning was a treat.

Spacious with a nice location for your Mt. Rushmore.
Experience.
The cabin has WiFi which is very nice. You just can’t watch TV like you normally could/would.
They do have a lot of DVD’s to choose from to keep the family entertained which was a good idea.
The cabin does have heat in each room but no central air. The weather was good when we were there so we just opened up the cabin windows which made it comfortable. Overall it was a good experience with the family.

From first communication question to check out time, it was wonderful. Extremely clean, warm and felt like a place to call home for the time we stayed. Creek on property and the location was perfect. Minutes' drive to Hill City, a short drive to Crazy Horse, Custer, Sylvan Lake (Black Elk hiking) and more. Across highway from Mickelson trail. Would defiantly stay here again.

Such a beautiful location for my family for our weekend visit. Cabin and location are more beautiful in person. Cabin is clean and practical. Plenty of space for everyone. Only recommendations are a nonslip pad in the shower and internet connection to the TV. Perfect location from all the sights and just far enough from Hill City to feel like you're away from it all.
