Battle Creek Station

Summary:

Enjoy the visiting wildlife and the 1880 train.



The Space:

Battle Creek Station is a newer home in a beautiful location surrounded by trees, with the historic Battle Creek and the 1880 train going through the back property. Wake up each morning and watch the 1880 train pass by or enjoy your coffee on the back porch with the visiting wildlife. Cook in the gourmet kitchen or soak in the master tub by the relaxing gas fireplace. If you're planning a motorcycle trip, this home has no gravel except on the driveway and one car stall carport to park in. Bringing ATV's/UTV's? There are nearby forest service roads for riding and the Hill City trails aren't far away! With everything so convenient in a beautiful location, why stay anywhere else? Being set in the forest yet, only 3.5 miles to Keystone and 4 miles to Mt. Rushmore, makes this the perfect combination of convenience and country.



If you're in the area for adventure, this home is near Forest Service roads, ATV/UTV/snowmobile specific trails, Horsetheif Lake for fishing, and hiking in the Black Hills National Forest. This Battle Creek Station can sleep 6 comfortably.

Black Hills Home Base

We had so much fun staying at the Battle Creek Station home. Beautiful home, elegantly decorated with everything you need to enjoy time with family. We enjoyed watching the 1880 train go by and also enjoyed having a nice grill on the back deck. The beds are so comfortable. We really enjoyed ourself and can't wait to come back! Thank you!

Keystone cabin

This rental was very beautiful and the location was perfect for everything that the Black Hills has to offer. The beds were very comfortable as well. The price of the cabin was questionable due to the fluctuating prices. Our nights were priced significantly higher than the nights after our stay. And the fees were higher than we have been paying for other VRBO cabins in the past. Other wise, very lovely place.

a PERFECT home base for the Black Hills

The home was inviting and very well appointed. The setting was beautiful and it is right in the middle of a number of Black Hills destinations. We enjoyed Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, Deadwood, Custer, Lead, Sturgis, Wall Drug, The Badlands, Iron Mountain Rd., Custer State Park, Spearfish Canyon, Old Hill, Crazy Horse and all of the amazing beauty of the Black Hills. The furnishings in the house were all very nice and were all like new. This owner and the property managers are doing an excellent job to ensure our vacation was as good as it could be. Thank You

This was our 30th wedding anniversary trip and I searched forever to find the perfect place for us to stay and we definitely found it. Easy access to Keystone and Hill City, but the beauty of being in a mountain home. Even though it was just the 2 of us, the house would easily accommodate 8 people with comfort. Our stay was just perfect and we can't wait to stay again!! Thank you for helping make a special anniversary getaway even that more beautiful. I never really had to work with anyone.
