Comfy cozy stay
Great little cabin by the woods. Our two children LOVED the loft. The location is a great mid point between all the obvious stops one would make while visiting the hills. The cabin has everything you would want. Stop by a grocery store in Rapid prior to coming here if you plan on making your own meals which we did since they have every amenity to make your own food! There is a great little trail/creek not far from the cabin which we loved and seeing the sun come up over the mountains every morning was a plus as well. Will be staying again.

Long weekend trail riding
The cabin was very nice and the view of the Nemo is breathtaking. The owners took a lot of thought on how to make the stay here at their cabin wonderful. So many amenities that were just a special touch. And the information of all the important phone numbers and instructions for all appliances, TV, mini split and the restaurants in the area with the picture of the menus. Very well done. Loved our stay and hoping to come back soon.

Short Stay
This cute little cabin was perfect for our family of four for our short stay in the Black Hills. We loved exploring the area and playing games in the yard. The cabin was very well-supplied and the kids loved sleeping in the loft.

Perfect Family Cabin!
Perfect cabin for our family in one of our favorite black hills cities. This place has everything you need! Front porch was perfect for that early morning coffee drinking! We loved all the small travel size amenities in the bathroom. Excellent touch! The cabin stayed very cool the whole time (which we loved!), even during those very warm afternoon! If you’re looking for a perfect cabin in a perfect location, look no further. We will definitely be back! -Jeremy and Lacey

Stay here for a great spot to catch all the touristy spots in the Black Hills! The cabin was perfect for our family of 4. We saw at least 10 deer close to the cabin on the morning we left.

We are a retired couple that loves the Black Hills area and enjoy riding the trails. The cabin was well stocked, Wi-Fi, a nice fire pit, peaceful surroundings, deer in the morning and evening, just to mention a few things. We will definitely return to this wonderful cabin.

ATV GETAWAY
Like previous years, this cabin does not disappoint. One must look at before and after pictures to appreciate what hard work and creative remodeling has taken place. There are pictures in note book in cabin that are worth the look. Location is incredible, but the view from front porch is 5 star. Watch the sun come up over the mountains…later watch it set into the mountains. But wait here comes the moon. Next time I come to this cabin I will check when the moon will be full and see if that schedule will work with my plans. Thanks for another year Wendy!

Mini Vacation
This is a great place to stay. Wendy is awesome to work with and super responsive. The cabin has everything anyone one need and very clean. We loved the use of the washer and dryer as well. That is super helpful when riding all the local trails. Nemo is also very local to all the near attractions too. We were very pleased with everything. Thanks Wendy for letting us stay and how you accommodated both of our long ATV trailers. We really appreciated that!

The only hard thing about the property is finding it on Google. Google took us past the vrbo to the dead end of the forest road camp ground. Start looking at street addresses after the Nemo Restaurant/Branding Iron Inn. The property is set back off the road about 100 yds.
