About this property

Crooked Creek Lodge

You will fall in love with the rustic charm and cozy atmosphere of this vacation and horse property located on approximately 5 acres just outside of Nemo, South Dakota. The property offers stunning views and ample space for you to relax, pets to roam and board your horses. The property provides corrals, indoor stalls and hay to accommodate your horses. There is also a hookup for your horse trailer or RV available upon request. Please contact host for the available fo the extra accommodations.

This spacious lodge features three bedrooms with four total beds, plus a sofa sleeper for additional guests. There are three full bathrooms and one half bath, offering comfort and convenience for groups of all sizes.

Relax and take in the fresh air and scenic views from two covered porch areas, or cozy up in the great room beside the beautiful gas fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen includes granite countertops with ample prep and serving space, making it easy to enjoy meals at home.

An attached two-car garage is included in the nightly rental and provides plenty of room to store all your toys and gear.

The property borders Black Hills National Forest, so there’s no need to haul your ATVs or horses—just step outside and ride. Less than a mile of gravel and you are to miles of highway access throughout the Black Hills for some excellent riding. Box Elder Creek runs through the property and originates upstream near Nemo. Just minutes away at the headwaters is an excellent brook trout stream, also home to brown and rainbow trout. While there’s no official fishing report, relaxation, adventure, and enjoyment are always guaranteed!

We loved our stay at the cabin. The amenities, views and plenty of room for our dogs, family and friends, UTV and boat to explore the Black Hills, see Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse memorials. We had a lot packed in for a week so the location was perfect for us.

Easter Vacation

We had a great stay at Crooked Creek Lodge! Such a great place to 4 wheel out of! The property manager was fantastic to work with! It was a great place for my family and friends to gather and hang out over Easter! We loved that they let us have our dogs with us too! We would love to stay here again!

Beautiful place in Nemo

We are frequent travelers to the Hills and your place in Nemo was spectacular. We love the little town of Nemo, eating at the Mercantile, being right in the middle of Rapid City, Hill City, Deadwood, Sturgis, etc. We did a few days of trail riding and enjoyed the Nemo flag, Custer Peak, Mini-canyon, lunch in Piedmont. Your place was the perfect little weekend get-away.

Short vacay

Great little cabin, nestled in a tiny little town. Super quiet with just us and Plenty of deer and other wildlife to see. The only thing disappointing for us was that the great fireplace wasnt working. The manager though got back with us right away and said the owner is trying to get it fixedfixedaway which was great.
