About this property

Fun Historic Cabin with the Best Swimming Hole on Spring Creek

  • Located in the historic Stratobowl near Rockerville, this classic Black Hills ranch style home is right on Spring Creek in a rugged canyon. The back windows and deck look out onto the best swimming hole on all of Spring Creek. Surrounded by hiking trails along the creek and in the National Forest, this is the perfect location for families searching for adventure in the great outdoors or couples who want to get away from it all in an incredibly peaceful setting.

    The house has been fully updated with all of today's conveniences including climate control, updated electrical system, and DSL internet. Located near Rockerville, this home is secluded, yet only 20 minutes from Rapid City or Mount Rushmore.

    Sleeps 6. The master bedroom has a king size bed with large windows looking down to the creek. A second bedroom has a queen size bed also with views of the creek. The third bedroom is the heritage room with a king size bed built into the room. The home has a deck on the creek side where guests can enjoy their morning coffee or grill out later in the day. There is a well-equipped kitchen and a very comfortable living room with a 42" television. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with grab bars. The single level and attached garage make it ideal for anyone with mobility difficulties.

    Enjoy the natural beauty of the Black Hills secluded in this classic home along Spring Creek. The home is located in a very unique and historic area, the Stratobowl - birthplace of the Space Age where the Army Air Corps and National Geographic Society launched manned balloon flights into the stratosphere to a record 72,395 feet in 1934-35.
    Note: New driveway concrete construction planned for May. You are still welcome to stay!
    Note: Between the hours of ~Noon and 6:00pm there is a chance that the swimming hole might be shared by the owner's grandson and one other adjacent vacation home.

    In order to access the surrounding property (Stratobowl, trails along the creek, etc.), a hold harmless waiver will be available to sign at check in.

    Check in time is 4:00 PM and check out is 11:00 AM.
