Cabin at Mickelson Trail and Rapid Creek in Rochford
About this cabin rental
Nestled in West Pennington, this lovely cabin for R 3,655 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Serene 720 sq ft cabin in the north central Black Hills with the Mickelson Trail and Rapid Creek running through the property. Enjoy direct access to the 109 mile Michelson Trail, famed for beautiful bicycling, walking or hiking, that runs through the heart of the Black Hills. The cabin has two bedrooms (curtains instead of doors on bedrooms) and one bath with a tub/shower. Both bedrooms have queen beds. Sofa sleeper in the living room. The property comes fully furnished with towels, linens, air conditioning, outdoor grill and griddle, large patio and an outdoor propane fire pit. A tv and large selection of DVD's are also available. WIFI and Verizon cell service are on the property. Access to the property crosses over a small wooden bridge so we ask that vehicles pulling trailers and oversize vehicles park at the Rochford trailhead approximately 200 yards from the cabin. There are three roads into Rochford but only the one from Lead/Deadwood (Hwy 85 WY/Alt 14 SD) is paved. The rest require 11-16 miles travel on well maintained gravel.

We had a great time in the black hills. Our boys (twin 6 year olds) loved playing with the chickens, seeing deer every morning / evening, and s’mores on the bon fire pit. A big bonus was a nice trout stream right in front of the property where we were able to do some fly fishing for trout. The property is a bit out of the way, but not too hard to get to. We liked the fact that it was a more secluded location and we’re extremely happy with the cabin.

Perfect little hide away. Very comfy house. Way larger than listing states. Only bad, no washer and dryer. Other than that, we loved it.

We had such a nice time at your place Julie! Super cute and clean and the air conditioning was a plus. My kids had such a blast checking out the chickens and ducks. My young son enjoyed putting some casts in the little stream on the property too. Having a nice patio with grill and patio furniture made eating breakfast outside delightful. We are sure to come again!

Me and my wife booked this cabin for a 30th anniversary trip to South Dakota. This cabin has everything it’s beautiful. It’s on beautiful piece of property. It’s well-maintained. It is absolutely hands-down, the best cabin. My wife and I have stayed in. We have traveled 48 states stayed in several rentals during these travels and this one is the best by far.

We loved staying at this tucked away cabin with our young children. The cabin is comfortable and has everything you need. The hosts are awesome and very caring. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a more authentic black hills experience.

My husband, I and our three kids had a blast. This cabin was perfect size, cozy, and we got the experience of being in the hills. We were close enough to get take out if we wished yet far away from the hustle and bustle of the people. Played games, enjoyed meals, coffe on the patio in the morning was priceless! Would definitely stay again!

We stayed here a few nights while biking the Mickelson Trail. It was a perfect stop along the way from Deadwood to Hill City. The cabin was clean and very well appointed and comfortable. Hosts were wonderfully accommodating. Thank you!

Spent a week at this location. It was clean and exactly as described in the listing. Owners were extremely responsive (responding within minutes to a question). Location is beautiful and squarely in the middle of the national forest. Deer in the yard most days, sometimes multiple times. The road from the south is well maintained gravel. To the north is asphalt. Would definitely stay again.

The Johnsons were very accommodating. The coffee and eggs they provided were amazing. The home is where they typically live so thus isn't just a rental. I wish I had noticed before we rented their wasn't a washer or dryer. We were there for the Sturgis motorcycle rally and thought this would be a nice location. This cabin is nowhere near Sturgis and requires riding on gravel (although well maintained) still gravel roads to the south. So this makes it even more remote. This cabin is probably more suited for bicyclist on the Mickelson trail than motorcyclist. But if you are looking for a beautiful little town to spend time in Rochford is a great place.

Property was fantastic. It was quite large, secluded from other residences, and picturesque. Kids liked checking on the chickens and enjoyed being able to hop right on mickelson trail to ride their bikes. Loved all the Pendelton throws, linens, and towels! Would book again, thanks!

My husband and I decided to try this cabin as we like to ride bike on the Mickelson Trail. The cabin is right on the trail so we could travel out right from the cabin without driving to a trailhead. That was super nice. The cabin is super clean, cozy and has a beautiful patio. The coffee bar is great! We were only there three nights and it was pretty warm during our stay, but it cooled down nicely at night.

The cabin was as it was advertised. It is a very peaceful and quiet area of the hills. The outside fireplace added that extra touch that we enjoyed. The cabin was furnished with everything that you need for everyday needs.

Family Vacation
This cabin was the perfect place for our annual UTV family vacation to the Hills! The Owners happened to be there, working in the garden, when we showed up and helped us get our trailer situated and parked. There wasn’t enough room to access the property with our trailer, but that wasn’t a problem at all to unload at the trailhead, next to the cabin. We would definitely stay here again!

I didn’t quite expect such tranquility but it was heaven. Julie provided every amenity and then some (the chickens!). We will definitely be back. Thank you very much!!

Located in the woods!!
This is a charming little home, well furnished & we were happy to see 2 queen beds!! The deer and chipmunks came to visit daily and the morning clucking from the chickens was wonderful! We would bring dinner back to the house, watch a movie and simple enjoy it all! Thank you Julie for the eggs and warm hospitality— 😊

Very responsive communication from the owners. Very scenic location, away from the busy areas of the Black Hills. Cabin is wonderfully updated, also larger and more open than we expected. Visits from wildlife are common.

Black Hills Serenity
This property was perfect for our visit to the Black Hills. The house has numerous amenities and was very cozy. We saw deer and rabbits on the property and they had chickens and ducks that excited our 2 year old. You can walk to the Moonshine Gulch and it has private access to the biking/walking trail. It was really beautiful on the patio and we enjoyed s'mores one night.

We really could not have asked for a better stay. The property owners reached out several times before we arrived and came to visit while we were packing up. Very friendly and caring couple. The cabin was beautifully remodeled and had every necessity we could think of that made it feel like we were at home. Our kids loved seeing a new part of the black hills and we will be back next summer for another stay.

This is the perfect little cabin in a small community that feels just like home. We had deer in the yard everyday that were fun to watch.
Where this cabin is off the beaten path, the travel to larger towns definitely does not disappoint.
Our hosts were very helpful with any questions we had & an absolutely joy to speak with.

This place is everything that you could want and more! We were riding trails, so the location was perfect. Perfect size for family of 4…owners were downright friendly too! The deck, the grills, the decor, the beds, the movies, the hot beverage station, the games, the chickens, the creek…I could go on and on. We will be back!

Deer Heaven
Very nice property, clean and comfortable.
Had a couple of deer 'families' entertaining most mornings - fawns cavorting around the yard while does grazed on the grass.
The only downside are the steps to the front door - poured concrete that have slightly different tread heights and require one to concentrate while going up or down.

Great Family Cabin
What a great place to stay! Cute, cozy cabin that was perfect for our family of 6. We will definitely rent this cabin again.

Great stay!
We loved the cabin we stayed at. Very scenic drive everywhere we went. Lots of gravel and windy roads. We were at the center of all the places we wanted to visit; Mt. Rushmore, Custer Park, Spearfish Canyon, Sturgis, and Bear Butte.

Right on the Mickelson trail. We are bike riders and we took out each day going either direction on the trail, so it's the perfect location for that. The cabin is very well equipped and modern with everything you could think of and more including a fast Wifi connection! We especially loved the large gas griddle for cooking our breakfasts outdoors each morning on the patio and then sitting at the large table to eat and watching walkers or bike riders pass by. Gas firepit at night on the patio with heat stands if it got really cold. It's remote and private and that is what we wanted. Could not recommend the cabin and host more. Very nice!
