The Lodge at Nemo – Where the Black Hills Become Your Backyard The moment you turn onto the quiet road that winds into Nemo, South Dakota, the outside world begins to fade. The air feels cleaner here. The pines stand tall like sentinels, their scent mingling with the crisp mountain breeze. Somewhere in the distance, the rush of a hidden creek plays like background music. And then you see it—The Lodge at Nemo—your private retreat tucked deep in the heart of the Black Hills. This is where your people gather. Where a weekend becomes a tradition. Where stories aren’t just told—they’re made. Whether you arrive for a wedding, a family reunion, a milestone birthday, or simply to escape to a place that still feels wild and untouched, The Lodge welcomes you with open arms. A Place Made for Connection Mornings here start slow. Sunlight filters through floor-to-ceiling windows in the Eagle Grand Suite, spilling across the great room’s mossy-rock fireplace. Coffee brews in the chef’s kitchen as laughter drifts in from the deck. Someone is already outside, taking in the view of Nemo Mountain while deer graze just beyond the trees. Days are yours to fill—wander pine-lined trails on foot or ATV, cast a line in crystal-clear streams, or pack a picnic and explore nearby icons like Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, and Custer State Park. If adventure is your style, the Black Hills are your playground. If peace is what you crave, there’s a quiet spot on the wraparound deck calling your name. We even mow a path down by the brook-trout filled bubbling creek for peaceful walks and contemplation. Or stay home and enjoy a game of pool or a soothing sauna. Evenings are magic. The fire pit crackles, marshmallows roast, and voices mingle with the chorus of crickets. Above you, the night sky comes alive with more stars than you knew existed—bright, unhurried, and endless. Stay Connected, If You Want – High-speed mesh WiFi and 5G keep you in touch without pulling you away from the moment. Three Private Worlds Under One Roof The Lodge is big enough for everyone—yet designed so you’ll never feel crowded. The Eagle Grand Suite: Vaulted ceilings, towering windows, and a fireplace that begs for long conversations. Cozy king and queen beds, a jacuzzi tub, and a game room keep everyone entertained. The Heron Grand Suite: Western-chic style meets wide-open space. A pool table for friendly competition, a deck with porch swings, and room for gathering after the day’s adventures. The Bluebird Grand Suite: Mid-century modern warmth, curated artwork, and a wrap-around deck with breathtaking views. Nights here end with stories by the Yukon fire pit under the stars. Why Guests Return Again and Again Nature on Your Doorstep – Eagles overhead, creeks at your feet, and miles of trails to explore. Moments That Matter – From wedding vows at the Nemo Church next door to late-night family card games. Peace of Mind – One of only two homes in Nemo licensed by the South Dakota Health Department, meeting the highest standards for quality and safety. Room for Everyone – Sleeps up to 22 with spaces for both togetherness and quiet escapes. The Black Hills Are Waiting Here, the pace is slower. The air is fresher. The memories last longer. The Lodge at Nemo isn’t just a place to stay—it’s the backdrop to your most treasured moments. Come for the adventure. Stay for the connection. Leave with a story you’ll tell for years. Please note that VRBO has a system error under “Pool/Spa,” sometimes showing “Fenced private pool” even though we do not have a pool and have the pool amenity turned off. Our neighboring 'Osprey' rental does have a pool, but this one does not. We do offer a pool table, large yard, corn toss, volleyball/badminton, and an exercise room equipped with foosball, ping pong, elliptical, a spin bike, and a Bowflex.

The kitchen was well equipped but we were looking for some 9/13 pans for baking. The right front burner should be looked at as the flame shoots up. The layout of the bedrooms is a bit odd, and it seems strange to share such a lovely master bath with another couple. However, we had so much fun together in the home sitting on the beautiful front porch and the comfy back deck, and enjoying the fire pit. We are sure that anyone who rents this home will enjoy it as much as we did. ##### Dr. Len and Marcia W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob M.

The pictures online looked beautiful, but were nothing as nice as when we walked through the front door! What an incredible, upscale place! A large kitchen and open living room for entertaining and a huge deck outside with everything needed for a trip, to include 3 sets of washers/dryers and 3 refrigerators total! Our entire group, ages 54-80, highly recommend this for a group of friends, family or a reunion. As a bonus, it's located next to a restsuramt/bar with general store and gas. Thanks for providing the house where great memories were made! ##### Bob M.

From the moment we booked this incredible property, Bruce was prompt in answering any questions I had. Then we walked in to what may be the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in. And I mean immaculately clean. From bedding, to towels, to kitchen, bathrooms, floors. Spotless. The property then extended down to a gorgeous pool that is attached to a sweet little game room. Lots of pool floats and swim diapers available. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you may need to include crockpots. We were so impressed Bruce and Terri.

Truly all you need to pack is your clothes and food/drinks. Bruce was accommodating and easy to contact. We came with a crew of 16, of all ages, and everyone slept comfortably in beds. I was a little nervous about only 3.5 bath, but with the way the suites are laid out, it worked very well. The space is well utilized. We cooked as a group in the main kitchen each day. We came to explore the Black Hills and this location in Nemo was very central to anything we wanted to do or see. There is a small convenience store next door and we rented UTVs across the street from D&K Rentals for riding trails. The home had plenty of parking for our 3 large vehicles and trailers plus UTVs. The pool was refreshing and clean as well. We hope to plan another trip here again. ##### Hannah K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walter W.

We have a large family, with lots of grandchildren and they loved seeing the horses, the pool and rec area. ##### Jane K.

Our stay included 24 family members ranging in age from 4-74\. The house was perfect in that there were separate areas that groups could be, so the number of people we had didn't make it seem crowded. The kids loved the pool and rec room. The adults played yard games. There was a nice sitting spot on the deck where the adults would congregate in the evenings. The built-in griddle on the commercial style range was amazing for making breakfast for the whole group. ##### Bob A. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie B.

It’s a spectacular spacious lodge with a fantastic view. We had a baby along and Traci had a feeding chair, bathtub and pak&play there for us. We did all our own cooking. The kitchen is very upscale and well stocked, including spices and 2 gas grills. We wanted for nothing other than an earlier checkin and later checkout. Very memorable time. I would highly recommend. Thank you Bruce and Traci for being such gracious hosts! ##### Jamie B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caren M.

We had a family emergency in February and the hosts were gracious and allowed us to switch our reservation to the end of March. We walked in the lodge and were immediately impressed. The rooms are spacious and we loved the additional attached guest (house) our employees had their privacy and we had ours. The game room was a hit with the kids. We cooked all our meals in the home and it was stocked with all the pots, pans, serving dishes, instapot and utensils needed. I really enjoyed cooking on the griddle that was part of the stove top. It made cooking for lots of people super convenient. The hosts are very quick to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend this VRBO! ##### Caren M.

Jun 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice House Is really 3 kitchens and 3 different apartments connected into one big house. But they are also separate. We only used one kitchen of the 3\. There were plenty of pots and pans and cooking stuff. Also I think he replaced the dishwasher which was pretty tempermental. Pretty old horses on the property. Wish there was a jacuzzi but the property was amazing. We definietly enjoyed it. BBQ was a little far from the kitchen but, it worked more than fine. And theres no wood fires due to droughts etc. Other than the no fire the place was super nice. ##### doug H. Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie H.

Nineteen of us had plenty of room, comfy beds, and everything we could possibly need to cook and entertain our family. Our food and clothes were all we needed to make the stay perfect! Bruce was available for any questions we had, and we have never stayed in a cleaner, more accommodating, and fun home away from home! Highly recommend! ##### Julie H.

It was a nice place to get away from the crowds for downtime. The property was clean and more than enough space for employees to spread out. The only issue was temperature control as it was rather warm in the house. ##### Lisa B.

There was a total of 29 of us staying at Freebird Ranch. We were all able to enjoy meals together, enjoy family activities together such as volleyball, kickball & swimming. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [AmericInn by Wyndham Rapid City](https://www.expedia.ca/Rapid-City-Hotels-AmericInn-By-Wyndham-Rapid-City.h583030.Hotel-Information) > > [Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Salamanca-Hotels-Seneca-Allegany-Resort-Casino.h2238839.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandusky-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Sandusky-OH.h1183594.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Riviera-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Westwood Inn & Suites Kimball I 90](https://www.expedia.ca/Kimball-Hotels-Westwood-Inn-Suites.h10648983.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge at Deadwood Gaming Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Deadwood-Hotels-The-Lodge-At-Deadwood-Gaming-Resort.h8213686.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake ](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information)
