Some places help you relax.
Others make you exhale the moment you arrive.

At The Osprey Poolhouse Retreat, the Black Hills feel like they’ve slowed down just for you.

Tucked into peaceful Nemo Valley, you’re surrounded by whispering pines, fresh mountain air, and wide South Dakota skies. The noise of everyday life fades. The pace softens. And suddenly, you have nowhere to be but right here, ensconced in atomic, mid-century, and danish modern furniture.

And then there’s the pool.

A private, heated 40-foot saltwater pool — yours alone during your stay. No crowds. No sharing. Just your favorite people and the rare luxury of space and privacy.

(Pool is seasonal and typically open June through early fall, depending on temperatures.)

Mornings That Start Slow. Evenings That Linger.

Imagine starting your day with coffee on the deck, wrapped in a light blanket as the mist lifts from Nemo Mountain. The valley is quiet. The air is crisp. The day feels full of possibility.

Afternoons are yours to shape:

Float beneath blue skies in the heated pool
Lounge in the sun with a good book
Take a scenic drive to Mount Rushmore or Crazy Horse
Explore winding ATV trails and forest paths
Or simply stay home and do nothing at all

Evenings gather everyone back together. Dinner in the fully equipped kitchen. A movie night in the spacious living room. Music playing softly through the Alexa stereo. Laughter drifting out toward the pool as the last light fades.

When night falls, the sky puts on its own show. The stars here are bigger, brighter, and impossibly clear.

Designed for Comfort That Feels Effortless

The Osprey Retreat was created to feel welcoming, easy, and beautifully livable.

Two King Suites & One Dual Queen Suite
Each bedroom features soft bamboo linens, private en-suite bathrooms, and thoughtfully curated furnishings that feel personal and elevated.

Spacious, Light-Filled Living Areas
Two gathering spaces offer room to spread out — Roku TVs, Alexa stereo, and live plants create a fresh, relaxed atmosphere. No stairs means easy walk-in comfort for all ages.

Stay Connected — If You Choose
High-speed mesh WiFi and strong 5G keep you connected without interrupting your escape.

In the Heart of It All — Yet Quietly Apart
You’re steps from Nemo’s small-town restaurant, community center, and historic church — perfect for wedding weekends or casual dinners.

And within a scenic drive:

Mount Rushmore
Crazy Horse Memorial
Custer State Park
Deadwood
Spearfish Canyon
Adventure is close. But peace is closer.

A Rare Find in the Black Hills
Private heated pools are unheard of in Nemo — and exceptionally rare in the Black Hills.

Here, you don’t share amenities with other guests.
You don’t compete for space.
You don’t settle.
You relax.

Hospitality You Can Feel
We live right here in Nemo. When you stay at The Osprey, you’re welcomed by real people who care deeply about your experience. We’re nearby if you need us — and respectfully out of sight when you don’t.

The Osprey Poolhouse Retreat isn’t just a place to stay.
It’s where privacy feels luxurious.
Where time stretches out.
Where relaxation turns into memory.
