Comfy cozy stay
Great little cabin by the woods. Our two children LOVED the loft. The location is a great mid point between all the obvious stops one would make while visiting the hills. The cabin has everything you would want. Stop by a grocery store in Rapid prior to coming here if you plan on making your own meals which we did since they have every amenity to make your own food! There is a great little trail/creek not far from the cabin which we loved and seeing the sun come up over the mountains every morning was a plus as well. Will be staying again.

Cozy cabin
We loved the cabin! It was exactly what we were looking for; quiet, cozy and lots of charm! Close proximity to off road trails, which was our main focus while in the hills. We will definitely be staying again.

Home away from Home
Cabin was great and peaceful! Our family of 6 loved our stay. Kitchen was well stocked with kitchen items. Toiletries available if needed. Kids loved the loft. We were visited by a few deer each morning. Having washer/dryer on site was very convenient. Would stay again!

Out of the way, a beautiful country location. Wish our stay could have been longer, to take advantage of the horse riding nearby. Everything worked properly and the host was super helpful. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our time relaxing and exploring in the Black Hills. This was a great "home base" and had everything we needed and even things we had forgotten. There were beautiful views and friendly neighbors. Very clean, fully furnished kitchen, and lots of resources for local attractions.

Perfect family getaway
This cabin felt like home the minute we walked in the door. The boys loved sleeping up in the loft and having camp fires under the stars at night. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy the wildlife and scenery of the black hills.

We came to Nemo for a 3-day get-away & this cabin was the jackpot of the weekend! Perfect size & location just outside of town! It was quiet & private with easy access to town. We will definitely be staying here again!! Host was very efficient & responded to messages promptly so another plus:)

Perfect for us!
We are a retired couple that loves the Black Hills area and enjoy riding the trails. The cabin was well stocked, Wi-Fi, a nice fire pit, peaceful surroundings, deer in the morning and evening, just to mention a few things. We will definitely return to this wonderful cabin.

Cabin has everything you need, porch is the best, deer wander into the yard in the evenings. Neighbor's rooster crows pretty much anytime during the day. Good location for a lot of places to visit.

We had a great time! Everything was well maintained. The internet connection was excellent, which is helpful because phone service in the Black Hills is very spotty.

Great little quiet cabin
Loved this little cabin, it was super clean and comfortable. Very quiet setting. It had everything we needed, loved that it had laundry. This was a great central location to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy horse, Deadwood, Rapid City, Badlands, Custer state Park and Spearfish. We did not use the Grill or fire pit as we were so busy exploring South Dakota and Wyoming, but it was wonderful to come home to a great nights sleep.

Wonderful! The cabin is better than described. Quiet, yet close to everything you need including the Branding Iron Restaurant and the Nemo guest ranch. Wendy went above and beyond to meet all of our needs and was quickly available for questions. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

This is a great place to stay. Wendy is awesome to work with and super responsive. The cabin has everything anyone one need and very clean. We loved the use of the washer and dryer as well. That is super helpful when riding all the local trails. Nemo is also very local to all the near attractions too. We were very pleased with everything. Thanks Wendy for letting us stay and how you accommodated both of our long ATV trailers. We really appreciated that!
