This property is such a hidden gem! It was immaculately clean and we could have stayed on the property for our entire stay. The kids loved swimming, diving, and fishing in the creek. We explored the cave, hiked, and enjoyed evenings on the deck. Ken and his family were such great hosts - we were treated like family. We would love to be able to stay again next time we're in the area!

We had a wonderful stay at the Creekside House. 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.

Outstanding home stocked full of all the necessary household items and supplies to make my stay with four grandsons (one 17 yrs old, three 16 yr old) in an idyllic stream-runs-through-it wooded property in the StratoBowl historic and scenic area just outside of Rapid City. We enjoyed hiking, fishing, swimming, and panning for gold. Great proximity to local ATV trail rentals and to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, and The Badlands National Park.

Om værten
Vært: Ken Tomovick
About the owner: We live in the Black Hills of South Dakota in a place known as the Stratobowl. This geological wonder is carved from the combined effects of water erosion and the uplift of a fault line in the rugged Spring Creek canyon. Secluded and idyllic, the property is reminiscent of another era. Maybe it is the silence, the old limestone cliffs, or the song of the creek meandering through the seasons. As these ancient voices surround us, we breathe in all the natural beauty. Peace melts into our being and comes out as creative expressions. When the moon is full, the canyon becomes an illuminated, mystical experience. That is why, at one time, this place was named 'Moon Valley'. Then, in 1934 and 1935, the Army Air corps and National Geographic Society launched manned balloon flights into the stratosphere from here. It was then, that the family field acquired its new name of 'The Stratobowl' while becoming the birth place for the space age.
Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
This specific home was built by our grandparents, Lawrence and Betty Jacobson in 1950. It has recently been renovated. With great pleasure, we share this property with guests from around the world.
Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
This home is one level. It has an attached garage to protect your vehicle, and the swimming hole in the backyard is one of a kind. This is truly THE Black Hills experience.
