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.
Comfortable beds, clean, nicely decorated, and fully stocked. Great location, near riding trails. Plenty of parking for your trailers and SxS's. Host responded quickly! Would stay here again and highly recommend!
This is literally in the middle of it all! Can hit up Deadwood, Lead, Spearfish, Devils Tower, Hill City, Custer, Keystone all in reasonable times and can see it all! Lots of wildlife, well stocked kitchen, and overall wonderful clean property! Highly recommend!
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!
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.
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.
