Summer Creek Inn is by far the best B&B I’ve visited. Clean, quiet, comfortable…a beautiful place in the woods. The breakfast is top notch. The hosts are wonderful (I wish they were my neighbors!), kind and ready to help you discover the Black Hills. If we visit this area, we will stay here again.

Wonderful Stay

The accommodations were amazing. The place is beautiful and in a quiet location. My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast on our first day before going out to see the local sights. The location is perfect for visiting Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and the Badlands. The owners were very helpful, they recommended a great place to eat as well as provided a map of the area. We would definitely stay again.

Oh my... where to start. Summer Creek Inn was the very best place we have ever stayed in! Nancy and Daniel were the best hosts. Wonderful service, breakfasts that were delicious, coffee that I looked forward to each morning and a view that is just wonderful. Our room was immaculate! Well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. They provide a wonderful check in, showing us to our room and giving us a quick tour and how to for everything. The property is beautiful, quiet and serene. We enjoyed the beautiful waterfall and pretty fireplaces outside and walked all over the property and down the road a few times each day. We will definitely be back and will never stay anywhere else when we visit South Dakota.

Black Hills Oasis

Gorgeous Home! The waterfall in back is stunning. Our room was very comfortable and roomy. There is an extra charge if you want their breakfast which starts at 8:30. We didn't participate in that as we wanted to get an early start on our day. The area is wonderful to explore and is centrally located to Mt Rushmore and Deadwood. This would be great for Weddings and family gatherings.

Dan and Nancy are great host. They couldnt have been more pleasant. The place is beautiful and couldn't have been more thought out. Every detail was meticulously thought of. We would come back in a heartbeat. The "ONLY" ask, is that folks have an option at breakfast. We had a couple folks who were allergic to an item served at breakfast.

Dan and Nancy are wonderful hosts. Setting is very pretty and facility is very well maintained. Breakfast each day was wonderful. Severa items could be improved - no WiFi was difficult for us who have ATT as there is no service at the Inn. Television could be upgraded. And lastly a little oil needs to be applied to the doors - at least in our suite as they all squeezed. Despite these minor items we would definitely stay at the Summer Creek Inn again if we pass through that area.

The Good: Beautiful, quiet, scenic surroundings and the staff was friendly and helpful. The Inn itself is in great condition, and beautifully landscaped. Beds and all furnishings were comfortable and relatively new. The Bad: No internet service for your computer and minimal/spotty cell service in the area. I had difficulty communicating with work, but more importantly with friends to coordinate meeting spots, for food, drinks and adventures. If you want a quiet, secluded, romantic getaway with no distractions..., this is the perfect spot. Reasonably priced and has a great Breakfast.

We booked Summer Creek Inn to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and it surpassed all of our expectations! It was worth every penny and we would honestly fly to Rapid City from Michigan just to stay again at Summer Creek! This was our first time in the area and Summer Creek was my favorite part of the trip! I cannot say enough about this place. Dan and Nancy were the best! Our room was incredible. It is the perfect location for sight seeing in the Rapid City area. We could have stayed in our room the whole time and been totally content.

The owners are so rude - an ongoing theme in other reviews. They had paper in reception - visible - with my card details (number, expiration, CVV) and when I questioned this the man was very rude and insulting and refused to let me settle the bill and shred the information. The breakfast was the same for everyone - bacon quiche. We were forced to sit with strangers and I could not eat anything as I don't eat meat. I was still charged though. Nancy is such a rude woman, I think she is in the wrong business. There is also no WiFi or phone signal and the air-con was freezing and not adjustable. The bed was 4 poster but small and uncomfortable and our stay overall was horrible, expensive and a really disappointing start to our honeymoon.

A fabulous BnB in a beautiful and convenient location. This property was built with guests in mind. The grounds are filled with water features, plants and flowers. Common areas are comfortable and inviting. Guest rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and private; we did not hear other guests although all the rooms were filled. Breakfast was the icing on the cake--delicious and varied. Amazing value. Even the spotty internet access can't take away from the great experience here.
