About this lodge

Beauty and adventure inside and out! This custom stunning log home was built with relaxation in mind. When here, you will find yourself at one with the beautiful Black Hills with views for miles, thousands of ponderosa pines and frequent visits from wild turkey and deer. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath log home has 3 king beds, relaxation areas on each level, 22 ft high soaring vaulted ceilings, free wireless internet, 2 smart TV's, exercise equipment, ping pong table, fully equipped kitchen, laundry, gas grill, plenty of parking (including space for trailers), zero entry on the main level, Geothermal efficiency, 2 viewing decks and over 8 private acres to take in all the wildlife!

This property is on approximately 4 miles of gravel roads. The roads are well maintained by the county but it is gravel with some steep hills to navigate and in winter months a 4wd vehicle is recommended.

Upon arrival you will instantly fall in love with your surroundings of the beauty Black Hills country living had to offer. Once inside you'll love the openness of the soaring vaulted ceilings, attention to detail, rustic log interior, and oversized windows that allow tons of natural light to pour in. Hang out in the main floor family room where the amazing spacious structure of the home itself will amaze you.

You will most likely be spending most of your time outdoors and this home could not be better situated: Hermosa is a growing community offering a central location to all the area’s surrounding magnificent sites.  Once dubbed the ‘Hub to History and Adventure’, Hermosa serves as the eastern gateway to the beautiful Black Hills.  The property is located a mere 12 miles north east of the Custer State Park entrance and only 12 miles east of the historic Mt. Rushmore!

Additionally the property sits close to other major area attractions: less than 30 minutes to the following: Bear Country, Old McDonald's farm, Putt Putt golf, Reptile Gardens, Black Elk peak, Crazy Horse monument, and Lake Sylvan!

In addition to being a central location, Hermosa also offers locally owned dining options; whether it’s one of many delicious specialty pizzas from the famous Lintz Brothers Pizza, burgers or chicken from Lazy R Bar & Grill, the daily lunch special at the Community Senior Center, or just a quick bite from the Flying J Truck Stop Deli. 

Master suite #1: (upper level): king bed, whirlpool, WIC, fireplace, private deck.
Master suite #2 : (main level): King bed, Large Closet, Smart TV, Bath access.
Bedroom 3: (Main level ): King bed, oversized closet
2 separate sitting/living areas on each floor
Fully stocked kitchen, just bring your own perishables
2 full bathrooms + 1/2 bath

Great property.

We had a wonderful trip and loved property. Very unique house in a beautiful setting. Off grid but with all the comforts and amenities of home. Host was very helpful and accommodating. If we ever have chance to visit Black Hills again I wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else.It was a 25-30 minute ride to Mt Rushmore but a beautiful ride. If you're looking for serene and secluded this is a great rental. Just be sure to plan provisioning ahead of time. Rapid City Walmart is probably 45 minute drive. Nearest shop is 20-25 minute ride.Loved staying here, great memories. Hope to visit again.
