Plus, you're close to stunning lakes for boating and swimming, and famous sights like Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial. In the summer, our guests love our private 40-foot heated saltwater pool and the rec room next to the Osprey pool house. The rec room has a pool table, foosball, and an infrared sauna - open from June to August, 9am-9pm. The skies here are amazing. During the day, watch the eagles and other birds under the bright sun and blue skies. At night, it's all about the stars and the Milky Way, shining bright without city lights to hide them. It's truly a beautiful, peaceful place. The Nemo Mountain Villa is a 6500 square foot luxury home with everything you need. We have three big suites - the Eagle, the Heron, and the Mountain Blue Bird - and we can host up to 24 guests. The villa has two levels, a lovely cedar deck, and lots of comfy places to relax. Each suite has its own kitchen, dining room, living room, fireplace, laundry, and at least one full bathroom. Our guests always say it's luxurious, well-equipped, and super clean. Come make lifetime memories at the Villa! Here's a tour of the suites... Welcome to the Eagle Grand Suite at our lodge! This suite is a real treat, named after a pair of eagles that spend winters nearby. As soon as you step inside, you'll see a stunning foyer with a beautiful chandelier. The great room is framed with shiny blond logs and has a big, cozy mossy-rock fireplace. The suite is big and bright, with high ceilings and lots of windows. It's got a comfy living area, a dining space, and a fancy kitchen with everything a chef or butler might need. It's perfect for hanging out and making memories. The Eagle Suite is top-notch for a holiday stay. It has two big bedrooms with super comfortable queen beds, chairs, and love seats. Each room has a Smart TV and soft carpet. The main bathroom is like a mini-spa, with a jacuzzi tub, a walk-in shower, and lots of space. The double sink is set in lovely cherry cabinets, leading to a big walk-in closet. There's more to explore in this suite, like a special area for puzzles or board games, a closet full of books and games, and even a central vacuum system to keep things tidy.

It's not just a place to sleep - it's a place to feel truly spoiled and relaxed. Welcome to the Heron Grand Suite! This suite is named after a pair of herons that love to fish in our stream. It's a peaceful and elegant space. When you walk through the French doors, you'll see high ceilings, modern gray floors, and beautiful teak wood touches, all in soothing colors. The Heron Suite is all about luxury and fun. It has a great kitchen for cooking, a cozy table for meals, and a handy laundry room. There are two big bedrooms, each super comfy with two queen beds, lounge chairs, and plenty of space for your things. One room even has a full-sized couch for extra relaxation. The suite has lovely lighting and beautiful linens in creams, turquoise, and touches of red and black. Each room has its own style, like the western cowgirl room with cool vintage chairs and artwork. The bedrooms and the main room all open up to the deck, so you can easily go from inside luxury to enjoying the outdoors. Outside, there are two hanging bench/swings to relax on and look over the lawn. For fun, play corn hole or volleyball right outside, with benches for friends to watch and cheer. Staying in the Heron Grand Suite is more than just a place to sleep; it's a special destination with the perfect mix of relaxation, fun, and luxury. Welcome to the Mountain Bluebird Grand Suite! This suite is named after the beautiful bluebirds that visit us in summer. Located in the north wing of the Lodge, it offers stunning views of Nemo Mountain through its big windows. Inside, you'll find a spacious area with a kitchen, dining area, and living room. There are also two big bedrooms, each with two queen beds, and a full bathroom. For entertainment, each bedroom has a smart TV, and there's a large TV in the living room. The suite opens onto a deck shared with the Eagle suite. Here, you can enjoy an outdoor Yukon fire pit and a cozy area for hanging out and chatting. The furniture in the suite is unique, with mid-century modern pieces found by the owner across the country. The art is lovely, featuring scenes of animals in nature, adding to the calm and natural feel of the suite. The lighting is modern and includes some really special, one-of-a-kind pieces. The Mountain Bluebird Grand Suite is a mix of comfort, style, and nature. It's a peaceful and luxurious place to stay.

My family along with 3 other couples traveled in to Nemo for the first week of Sturgis. 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. Thank you thank you thank you!

The views and vistas are spectacular. Appliances and cookware are top notch. Showers and bathroom amenities are luxurious. 3 and 1/2 bathrooms for 24 people was inadequate.

Lovely ranch. 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.

The first thing we noticed upon arrival is how impeccably clean the house was. 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.

We had our family reunion with 19 people at The Lodge. 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!

We reserved the lodge for our February company retreat and their families. 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!

Our rental was for a business trip during the Sturgis motorcycle rally. 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.

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.

Absolutely Great! Three generations of family gathered for an unforgettable vacation. This beautiful, spacious and comfortable home was perfect for our family to relax and play. The fully stocked kitchen enabled us to easily prepare meals. We enjoyed the pool, rec room, playing volleyball, petting the horses and hiking the trails right behind the property. Bruce was an amazing host. Many great memories were made!

We had a large group/family meet up and Eagle Lodge was just what we were looking for! The property provided us plenty of space and is in a prime location. We rode ATV's from the property and there was plenty of space for our trucks and trailers and great trails nearby. The kitchen was big enough for all of us to cook and enjoy meals together, which we really enjoyed. The pool was a huge bonus, we all loved taking an afternoon swim and having that space to relax and hang out together. We hope to visit Nemo again in the future, we highly recommend!

Luxury accommodations in a spectacular Black Hills location
We have always wanted to try the Black Hills for a summer vacation and always heard great things, and this year a driving trip made a lot of sense given COVID-19, so we went for it. In our prior research, the challenge we had with the Black Hills area is that there were not many higher end properties, and when we camp, we prefer our camping to be remote and not at campgrounds. Fortunately, the lodge gave us a combination of an idyllic mountain setting in Nemo, a huge and beautiful home, and a great swimming pool complex which we used daily. Bruce and Traci could not have been nicer to us, and they are meticulous in keeping everything in great shape.
The setting for the home is amazing. Off the back deck, your view is of the 600 foot canyon wall across the valley, the horses in the pasture and the trout stream. I like to exercise in the early AM, and you can hike up Mt. Nemo and back from the lodge in less than 2 hours, or take great runs back on a dirt road along the stream.
We found Nemo to be a convenient location to see everything in the Black Hills (even with a bridge out forcing us to take a detour every day), including beautiful Spearfish Canyon and the fly fishing we did about half way to Rapid City. If you only wanted to do things in Custer Park (which would be a big mistake in my opinion), there are more convenient places. But we found the location to be great.
For whatever it is worth, our favorite Black Hills sites were trout fishing up stream in Rapids Creek (above Rapid City but below the lake), the Bear Park near Rapid City (go during feeding time - kids loved it!), Needles Highway, the walk around Sylvan Lake, and Spearfish Canton. The Mammoth Site in Hot Springs and Devils Tower we’re also worth the trip. We found the southern part of Custer Park to be uninteresting, even though you do see buffalo. We liked the longer waterfall hike in Spearfish Canyon (but you do see cars for much of the hike on the road across the stream), Lover’s Leap in Custer (but there is tons of poison ivy down in the stream portion - almost unavoidable - wash off with soap right after if you wear shorts), and around Sylvan Lake. The hike up Mt. Nemo was great. If we had another day, we would have rented ATVs in Nemo - looked like a lot of fun. The Black Hills are beautiful and have a ton to offer. If you think that the only beautiful mountain vacations are in the Rockies and West, the Black Hills will change your mind.

This Lodge is an incredible place! Absolutely amazing.
I will recommend this listing, these owners, and this location to everyone I know. This magical lodge is in the perfect location for privacy and also accessibility to lots of tourist attractions. I took my team of 23 people to this lodge and it was even more incredible than I imagined. It accommodated us well, it was perfect for space to hang and work. I would give this 10 stars! You won’t regret any part of this rental. Thank you Traci!

Freebird Ranch Lodge-Amazing!!
The Freebird Lodge exceeded our expectations! There were a group of 18 adults and 5 kiddos. We each pretty much had our own living area and we congregated in the main lodge to cook, eat, and then retreated to the amazing deck to visit, watch the horses, and the beautiful scenery of the hills. The lodge was very clean and is stocked very well with anything you need. There is plenty of cooking utensils, plates, etc and the bathrooms are stocked with all kinds of product. There are two grills, bean bag outdoor game, bikes to ride, horses to pet, and access to a stream. Tracy and Bruce have pretty much thought of all the details to make your stay worry-free. The new salt water pool is amazing and is just down the hill for easy access. The pool house was not finished yet but looks like it is going to be a very nice place to stay and play. The people of Nemo are very nice and accommodating. We rented a UTV and the kids' road horses from D&K ATV Rental and trail rides. Bruce and Tracy are top notch people. We can as strangers and left as friends. We plan to return in the near future.
