We thoroughly enjoyed our river house on Rapid Creek! We especially loved the deck overlooking the river and fell in love with the huge screened porch, the sandy beach, and the many places to sit and enjoy the river. The arbor swing was my personal favorite. Oh, for the days when everyone had a porch! The world would be a happier place.
The house is very charming. The kitchen/dining/living area is comfortable and very functional and well stocked.
The area is stunning with the canyon walls rising up on each side. The seclusion was wonderful and very peaceful. We felt like we were miles from ANYWHERE, and yet it was only a very short drive into Rapid City.
The house reminds me of a Swill chalet. It's very charming. I waited for Red Riding Hood to appear at our door. I would not have been surprised in the least if she had.
Our host was SO easy going and very pleasant. We had an extra guest, a small squirrel who was bringing acorns across the drive to her hideaway, preparing for winter. We got a kick out of her diligence!
We hope to return some day.
My husband got a real kick out of fly fishing in the river. Wow, what a paradise!
