Very nice property, would recommend!

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!

This property has been the cleanest lodge we have stayed at. There was a total of 29 of us staying at Freebird Ranch. We were all able to enjoy meals together, enjoy family activities together such as volleyball, kickball & swimming.

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.

The family especially enjoyed the saltwater swimming pool. The large house has everything you could possibly need or want for cooking, eating together, watching movies together.

Kids loved the space. Loved the pool. Adults loved all the kitchen appliances and dishes, pots and pans! Everything was there that we needed! Loved the porches/decks ! Quiet road through Nemo! Very peaceful place :)

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!

Property was very well maintained. A very beautiful, fully stocked, spacious cabin. Bruce, the property owner was more than helpful and accommodating. Everything about our stay was perfect and would go back in a heartbeat. We have a large family, with lots of grandchildren and they loved seeing the horses, the pool and rec area.

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!

This house was wonderful! It is completely stocked with kitchen utensils, towels etc.. I also loved that the listing stated it slept 24 and it did! (No couches etc.) The view was breathtaking! The home owners were also wonderful! I can’t say enough great things! We’ll be back!!!

fantastic

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.

The property was beautiful, very clean and very accommodating. The home has beautiful views of the valley. The owners were very helpful and sweet. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

Excellent

We absolutely loved our stay here. Great home for large families, had everything we needed & more, wonderful layout. Perfect location, close to many attractions, and ATV riding right out the back door. We'll definitely check this place out again soon!

Beautiful home with AMAZING VIEWS AND BEDS!!! OMG! Can't wait to come back!

This rental exceeded our expectations. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The location was convenient and the scenery perfect. One of our party left her iPad and the owner forwarded it on as soon as she was aware. We wish we could have stayed longer.

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!

Our family has a reat time

We had an excellent stay in Nemo.

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.
