About this property

Creekside Cabin on the Mickelson Trail

Enjoy a quiet location close to town and on paved road. This property sits on the Newton Fork of Spring Creek. The back patio is shaded most of the day giving you a great place to sit and enjoy the sound of the creek as it runs by you. Easily run into Hill City for dinner or groceries or stay home and grill next to the creek. Hop on the Mickelson Trail and walk or ride right to the famous 1880's train. A short car ride gets you to all of the major attractions including Mt Rushmore (20 minutes) & Crazy Horse (16 minutes) or go the other direction to Deerfield Lake for fishing and boating.

This Cabin is located in the middle of all the major attractions most of them being less than 30 minutes away.

If outdoor activity is more your style. There are 3 different lakes within 25 minutes or less, not to mention the gated access to the Mickelson Trail in the back yard. Giving you access to 107 miles of biking and walking.

Hundreds of miles of ATV trails are surrounding this area. Less than a four mile drive gets you to ATV rentals and access to Horse back riding.

We can't wait to share our place with you and hope you fall in love with it like we have.

Disappointed and cheated

I drove 14 hours expecting a Creekside Cabin, just like the pictures show. Instead, I find a very old run-down mobile home, in need of a lot of work. once I finally got the old key out of the messed-up box, The first thing to hit me going inside was a strong odor. Smelt like a porta john on a hot day! I never could get the smell out of the mobile home. It was coming up through the shower plumbing. The septic tank. The owner did inform me that I couldn't have a campfire due to a fire ban in the area. that was disappointing but I understood. It would of been NICE if he also told me that the creek was all DRIED UP! That was the main reasons for choosing Creekside Cabin. So here I am in a smelly, run-down, dirty trailer. I worked and saved for this get away and that's what I got. outside is all dirty and in need of a lot of work. The list of things is too much to mention. They have posted notes all over the walls telling you to do certain things, instead of just fixing the problem. Truthfully, I deserve my money back.
