The house was beautiful, perfect view from porch of the amazing landscape. It was very clean and comfortable. About 1-1.5 hours from badlands depending on which entrance you use, and about 20 minutes from mt.rushmore. Was a great base for our traveling. The town also had a great restaurant around the corner. The owner, Bob, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and a great resource to help direct you in any advice on what to do for the day. We greatly enjoyed our stay and if we ever get back to South Dakota we would love to stay there again.

Thank you for the 5 star review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay!
We loved our stay at this great house in Hermosa. It had everything we needed and Bob is an excellent host. He made sure we had everything we needed. We even made friends with his horse Diamond.
The location is central to all the sights and activities in the area. We would stay here again!
Perfect place to stay. Not to far from rapid & all the things to do with young children. Our family enjoyed the view & the house was very well kept and had almost everything you needed. Bob the manager was super friendly checking on us and willing to help if ever needed.

The house is exactly as advertised. Bob is a true gentleman and great to hang out with. Diamond (the horse in the field) was the icing on the cake for my kids!!

About the host
Hosted by Bob Shedeed
We owned a hardware store for 30 years in Nebraska and decided to retire to the beautiful South Dakota Black Hills. In 1983 we joined the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association. This organization gives you a second chance after the kids are gone and you have worked long enough. Bob accumulated several championships in the NSPRA - 3 in the All-Around, 4 in the Ribbon Roping, and 6 in the calf roping. In 2009 through 2012, he was the World Champion Header in the team roping competition in the 60 plus age group. We also traveled in Canada and received several titles there. Bob was inducted into the South Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Donna won the titles in Ribbon Roping with Bob - he catches the calf, she grabs the ribbon off the tail, and runs to the finish line. She's won 4 World championships in the All-Around, 3 World titles in Barrel Racing, and Frontier Champion team roping heeler in 2007. She's also inducted into the South Dakota Cowgirl Hall of Fame.
So, after 15 years in this home, we built a second home down the road, to be closer to our big barn and roping arena.
Why they chose this property
This home is in the foothills of the beautiful Black Hills, where prairie meets mountains. We built it on a cliff, with a spectacular view. It has log siding, with subtle stone trim, and sits on 7+ acres, overlooking the horse barn and pasture.
We are centrally located to all that is good in the Black Hills.
What makes this property unique
We built our place on a cliff, overlooking the southwest valley. This one-of-a-kind view includes pasture, hills, our roping arena, and the biggest, bluest sky imaginable.
Oh, and did we mention only 20 minutes from Mt. Rushmore and 15 from Custer State Park?!
