Creek-side Paradise + Hot Tub + Bar + Sleeps 8 + Black Hills

Fish for trout steps from your back door. Soak in a private hot tub while the creek flows below. Watch bighorn sheep graze on the hillside across the water. This is a genuine Black Hills paradise — and there is nothing else quite like it in all of South Dakota.

Perfectly situated just 1 minute from Thunderhead Falls and 15 minutes west of Rapid City, this charming 3-bedroom cabin sits right on the water on a beautifully private stretch of the Black Hills. With 117 reviews and a 9.6 out of 10 rating, guests come back year after year — and it's easy to see why.

SLEEPS 8 | 3 BEDROOMS | 2 BATHROOMS

THE CABIN
This fully furnished 3-bedroom retreat sleeps up to 8 guests comfortably across a king master suite, a main floor queen bedroom, and a lower level queen bedroom — each with its own character and charm.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for home-cooked meals, and the dining area seats the whole group. The spacious living areas flow naturally to the outdoor spaces where the real magic happens.

THE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE
Outside, the private hot tub overlooks the creek — one of the most breathtaking spots to relax in all of the Black Hills. The bar area with Bluetooth music system is perfect for entertaining. A scenic walking path follows the creek through the property, and the water is ideal for trout fishing right on site. A wood-fired experience and outdoor grill round out the outdoor entertainment options.

The property also features "The Hut" — a unique bonus entertainment space and sleeping loft that guests absolutely love.

SEASONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Summer: fish the creek, soak the hot tub, hike the Flume Trail
Fall: brilliant foliage surrounds the cabin, bighorn sheep are most active
Winter: snow-dusted pines, cozy fires, peaceful seclusion (4WD recommended)
Spring: rushing creek, wildlife everywhere, wildflowers on the hillside

HISTORY
This property is steeped in remarkable local history. The original Flume Trail — built to carry water to the gold mines of the Black Hills — runs behind the cabin along the mountain. At the front of the property, the old railroad that operated in the late 1800s and early 1900s once passed right through. And the bend in the creek nearby was a traditional camping area for Native Americans — a peaceful, storied spot with centuries of history beneath your feet.

WILDLIFE
Keep your eyes open — bighorn sheep are regularly spotted on the hillside across the creek, bald eagles soar overhead, and a wonderful variety of birds make this area home year-round.

PARKING & ACCESS
Free off-street parking on site. Self check-in via smartlock — your code will be provided prior to arrival.

PLEASE NOTE
Like most properties in the Black Hills, this home uses a well system — completely standard for the area. In winter months, 4-wheel drive or AWD is recommended for the lower parking area.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great home with convenient location to mt Rushmore. The yard is huge and waterfront area has seating to help you enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The tiny house with hot tub was a huge hit with our kids and the dogs loved the yard to stretch their legs after a long day of travel. I'd definitely stay here again.
