Amazing stay in the beautiful Black Hills

We loved our time at this amazing home. We loved the spacious, well appointed rooms, we spent a lot of time in the pool and had a lot of fun in the game room. We also loved the spacious outdoor area and walked down to the creek every day. We wouldn’t hesitate to come here again for another fun stay in the Rapid City area!

Amazing centrally located place near Mt Rushmore

Amazing pool, well appointed kitchen and bathrooms with unexpected extras such as spices and zip lock bags and every appliance you’d need in the kitchen and all the toiletries you’d need in the 3 + 1/2 bathrooms.

We stayed in Nemo for a sturgis soccer tournament. The property was easy to find, clean and plenty of room. The weather was beautiful so we were able to use the pool. The pool area was spacious and really I wished we didn’t have as many soccer games and we could have spent the day there. Bruce was quick to respond and help get the pool cover off. Great house

Kitchen was well equipped. House was clean and well equipped for three couples. It was just me and my wife. The view out in the pool area was awesome. The grill was clean and had gas! Can’t tell you how many times I have arrived and grill has no gas and is as nasty as you can get. Many thanks to Bruce. He was an awesome host.

Beautiful country property in a very convenient location

Before arriving, our hosts (Bruce and Traci) gave us some helpful tips on restaurants, grocery stores, and other businesses in the area. Beautiful location inside and out. Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teenagers) appreciated the extra space inside and the kids having their own beds and bathrooms. Everything was very clean, well kept and newly remodeled. We loved having the heated pool to ourselves. The host was very helpful getting the pool setup for us. The pool rec room was a great hang out spot to unwind at the end of day, playing games or listening to music. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with supplies and linens. Relaxing mountain view with small creek; great for stargazing. We loved that it was in the country but still close enough to most attractions we planned to visit. The hosts were very helpful and easy to reach with any questions or needs. We’ve stayed in many different VRBO properties in different states, and everyone agreed that this was our favorite stay.

Our stay at this Nemo property was exceptional. The home was immaculate and thoughtfully prepared, with every detail clearly cared for. The setting is peaceful and beautifully nestled in the Black Hills, offering both privacy and convenience. It’s ideally located between the northern attractions (Sturgis, Deadwood) and the southern highlights (Rapid City, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and the Badlands).The hosts were attentive, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our stay comfortable. We also appreciated how welcoming the property was for our dogs—safe, quiet, and easy to manage.Although it was too early in the season to enjoy the saltwater pool, it’s a wonderful amenity that adds even more value to the property.We highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a clean, peaceful, and perfectly located home base in the Black Hills.

Vicki, usually the start of our season is overwhelming, trying to do everything we can to create a wonderful experience, making sure that our staff is trained, and making sure the birds all have homes safe for raising their young, are all things we stress about every spring. To have your group as our first group was a mutual experience in gratefulness. You left the property immaculate and then left me beautiful sunflowers. I just can't thank you enough!

Really great stay here. The space was perfect for our group of ATV riders and Nemo was a great jumping off point. The pool was perfect after a long day, and owner was gracious and easy to communicate with. Really recommend this spot to anyone. Rooms were super large and spacious and comfy.

Great Place with Plenty of Room

We stayed in the Osprey, it had lots of room, everything was provided except food! It was very convenient to be connected to the pool house and the game room, our kids loved it! The house had a portable air conditioner, which kept it fairly comfortable, but it was in the 90’s when we were there, so it ran constantly, so just an FYI, it wasn’t as quiet as central air. We also opened the windows during the night and it cooled off nicely. The location is in the valley with beautiful views of cliffs and evergreens, along with a stream just a short walk away. The amenities were a drive to get to, ie. groceries and restaurants. There is a small local store with necessities if needed. There is also a local restaurant in Nemo, but it was closed when we wanted to dine there. We loved the Sugar Shack which wasn’t too bad of a drive. They had great burgers! The hosts were very responsive when we had a question or needs.. Overall a great place to stay!

Absolutely amazing

This was the best place for us, a group of 6, to stay while attending the Sturgis rally. We were centrally located from so many attractions. The Osprey accommodations were perfect and provided privacy for each couple yet large enough gathering area for all of us. The views were breathtaking every morning and night. We would highly recommend the Freebird Ranch.

Absolutely Amazing!

Cannot recommend this home/property enough! Beautiful setting and home. It's away from everything, but that was perfect for us to drive to all the area sites daily. We were gone to the sites all day and then we could play pool, foosball, badminton/volleyball in the evening (or go for a swim). Great for families. Super clean and comfortable. Wonderful, friendly owners!
