We met up with family who were staying at a different rental and it worked out great. It was very well stocked-had everything I needed for cooking. The decor was very well done.

My mom is 83 years old, and her sister is 79. Neither had been to Mount Rushmore, so it was on their bucket lists. My husband and I took them this year. The Creekside Cabin was fantastic. The location could not have been better - so conveniently located to so many beautiful things.
The cabin was so clean and cute! We really enjoyed our stay.

My husband and me, our adult son and daughter in law, and their children (age 3 and 1) stayed together. It was the perfect set up for us - not fancy, but very comfortable and close to everything we wanted to see. During the days we went to all the sights, at night we relaxed by grilling dinner, cooking s’mores over the camp fire, and playing games. Thank you for a memorable vacation to beautiful South Dakota!!

The location was great, close to Hills city; the cabin was spotless, very clean, we did see deer grazing, that was great! The problem, one of the mattresses had a huge dip in it, I tried to fill it up using 2 pillows, sleeping was nearly impossible-I did speak to the owner and did let him know that a new mattress was necessary

Location was great, short distance from a great small town. Located right on the Mickelson Trail saw a nice bull elk and deer,but you should not advertise your place as a cabin when in fact it is a trailer.

The location is ideal for those exploring the Black Hills — close to all the attractions! And this home is set on a beautiful piece of property. The interior could use a few updates. It provided our family with plenty of space and the kitchen and baths were stocked well. However, we had difficulty using both showers (poor water pressure for women washing hair) and the mattress in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable.

This was a wonderful spot to stay for our 3 day weekend! The creek added so much to the quaint atmosphere. My kids loves the room with the bunk beds and all the games available to play. Every thing we needed was there and easy to find. Grill works great and came in handy for supper in. Being just outside hill city makes it a great location to go to many area sites. Highly recommend!

The space worked well for our family of four. We had enough room inside and space to play outside. We stayed a week over 4th of July. The house is about 0.75 miles outside of Hill City and a good jumping off spot for adventures. Check in was easy and the amenities were as described. Thanks for having us!

The creekside cabin was cute, clean, right on the trail, and really convenient to Mt. Rushmore and Hill City. We saw deer and a beaver in the creek!

The rental was very clean, comfortable and conveniently located to the side-by-side trails yet close enough to Hill City to access anything we may have needed. The creek was beautiful and the sound of it tranquillizing! Thank you for opening up your home-away-from-home to us!

We go to the Hills every June for an annual getaway with our close friends. This was a new place for us this year and we LOVED it. Quiet, relaxing and close to Hill City and trails. We will definitely be booking this place again.

This was a very cute and comfortable cabin. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. The property is easy to get to and very peaceful, private and relaxing. We loved our stay! We enjoyed the fire pit, the sound of the creek and even the covered patio during the rain showers.

My family and I really enjoyed this well stocked and conveniently located home. As a bonus, the National Forest boundary is a two minute walk from the back door. The living room is huge and we really enjoyed playing card games located in a nearby kitchen cabinet. We would definitely stay here again!

Cabin was cute and cozy. The location couldn't have been better for all the exploring we did. We loved having the creek and the trail right behind the cabin as well.

This little cabin is in a great location! It is no more than a 30 minute drive from all the things the black hills have to offer. We especially appreciated that this cabin had enough space for our family of 6! Brandon,
the home owner was incredibly kind and hospitable! He is very easy to communicate with! For the price, this place can't be beat!

Property was clean and well stocked. Within driving distance to everything our family was looking to see. Large grassy lot with cute creek for the kids to play. The only complaint would be that the septic smelled. Otherwise would go back!

Beautiful location...almost perfect
The locations was ideal. Loved the creek and the access to the Mickelson Trail. Also, very convenient, quick drive into Hill City if you want more touristy shops and restaurants. The owners were very easy to communicate with and made check in and out very easy. We loved visiting with friends on the back patio, and my kids loved having a field for soccer and Frisbee. The only knock was that the master bedroom could smell like septic at night...tip: make sure you close the windows before night time (and bring fans, as it can be hot). Also, if you're planning on using kitchen bring your own ice trays, pizza cutter, or anything else you know you'll need.

Great stay!
This property is very well kept, clean, & located in a quiet and beautiful area near Hill City. You are within close driving distance to lots of things to do in the Black Hills. The creek running through the property is beautiful. Loved grilling & eating outside. Owners are awesome with communication. Book with confidence!

The location of this property was great. The creek brought us hours of enjoyment. We loved making smores by the firepit. Deer crossed through the property multiple times throughout our stay. There was even a full propane for the grill which was wonderful for our cookout. Super close to so many amenities and activities while still creating a beautiful country atmosphere. Had a little trouble having enough hot water for all 4 of us, but we figured it out by staggering the showers and the rest of the property made up for it! Great communication from the owner as well. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great Time at "Dream by the Stream"
We loved our stay at this cozy cabin in the woods! It was clean, well-decorated and easily accommodated six of us. The cabin is just two minutes from downtown Hill City and centrally located to all the local sights of interest. After a long day of sight-seeing, it was so nice to return to the quiet cabin. The owner was very helpful. We are so glad we chose "Dream by the Stream" to start our tour of three states.

This property has a great location and wonderful outdoor areas. We loved the covered patio which looked out onto a beautiful stream. The inside of the property is not fancy, but is clean and comfortable. Brandon’s communication was great - he even let us check in early!
