The air is fresher. The pines rise tall and steady. A nearby creek hums softly in the background. And as you pull into the drive, the world seems to slow down in the best possible way. This is more than a place to stay. It’s where your people come together. Family reunions that turn into annual traditions. Wedding weekends filled with laughter. Milestone birthdays that deserve something special. Or simply a few peaceful days in the heart of the Black Hills. Made for Connection — Indoors and Out Mornings begin gently here. Sunlight pours through tall windows and dances across the moss-rock fireplace. Coffee brews in the kitchen while someone steps onto the deck to breathe in the mountain air. Deer sometimes wander through the trees. Eagles circle overhead. The view of Nemo Mountain quietly reminds you why you came. Spend your days however you choose: Explore nearby trails by foot or ATV Fish crystal-clear streams Visit Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, or Custer State Park Wander down our mowed path to the brook-trout filled creek Or simply stay home and enjoy the sauna, pool table, yard games, and space to relax Evenings are pure Black Hills magic. The fire pit crackles. Marshmallows toast. Laughter carries through the trees. Above you, a sky full of stars stretches endlessly — brighter and clearer than most have ever seen. And if you need to check in with the outside world, high-speed mesh WiFi and strong 5G service keep you connected — without pulling you away from the moment. Three Private Suites Under One Roof The Lodge comfortably sleeps up to 22 guests, with thoughtful design that allows everyone to gather — and still find quiet space when they need it. The Eagle Grand Suite Vaulted ceilings, towering windows, and a stunning fireplace set the tone. King and queen beds, a jacuzzi tub, and a game room create space for both comfort and fun. The Heron Grand Suite Western warmth meets open gathering space. A pool table invites friendly competition, and porch swings on the deck offer the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure. The Bluebird Grand Suite Mid-century modern style, curated art, and wraparound views. Evenings end by the Yukon fire pit under a sky filled with stars. Why Guests Return Again and Again • Nature at Your Doorstep – Trails, wildlife, creeks, and mountain views • Moments That Matter – From wedding vows at the Nemo Church next door to late-night card games around the table • Peace of Mind – One of only two homes in Nemo licensed by the South Dakota Health Department • Space to Gather, Space to Breathe – Large enough for everyone, cozy enough to feel like home.

Lovely ranch. The kitchen was well equipped but we were looking for some 9/13 pans for baking. The right front burner should be looked at as the flame shoots up. The layout of the bedrooms is a bit odd, and it seems strange to share such a lovely master bath with another couple. However, we had so much fun together in the home sitting on the beautiful front porch and the comfy back deck, and enjoying the fire pit. We are sure that anyone who rents this home will enjoy it as much as we did. ##### Dr. Len and Marcia W.

The pictures online looked beautiful, but were nothing as nice as when we walked through the front door! What an incredible, upscale place! A large kitchen and open living room for entertaining and a huge deck outside with everything needed for a trip, to include 3 sets of washers/dryers and 3 refrigerators total! Our entire group, ages 54-80, highly recommend this for a group of friends, family or a reunion. As a bonus, it's located next to a restsuramt/bar with general store and gas. Thanks for providing the house where great memories were made! ##### Bob M.

From the moment we booked this incredible property, Bruce was prompt in answering any questions I had. Then we walked in to what may be the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in. And I mean immaculately clean. From bedding, to towels, to kitchen, bathrooms, floors. Spotless. The property then extended down to a gorgeous pool that is attached to a sweet little game room. Lots of pool floats and swim diapers available. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you may need to include crockpots. We were so impressed Bruce and Terri.

Truly all you need to pack is your clothes and food/drinks. Bruce was accommodating and easy to contact. We came with a crew of 16, of all ages, and everyone slept comfortably in beds. I was a little nervous about only 3.5 bath, but with the way the suites are laid out, it worked very well. The space is well utilized. We cooked as a group in the main kitchen each day. We came to explore the Black Hills and this location in Nemo was very central to anything we wanted to do or see. There is a small convenience store next door and we rented UTVs across the street from D&K Rentals for riding trails. The home had plenty of parking for our 3 large vehicles and trailers plus UTVs. The pool was refreshing and clean as well. We hope to plan another trip here again. ##### Hannah K.

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. ##### Jane K.

Our stay included 24 family members ranging in age from 4-74\. The house was perfect in that there were separate areas that groups could be, so the number of people we had didn't make it seem crowded. The kids loved the pool and rec room. The adults played yard games. There was a nice sitting spot on the deck where the adults would congregate in the evenings. The built-in griddle on the commercial style range was amazing for making breakfast for the whole group. ##### Bob A.

It’s a spectacular spacious lodge with a fantastic view. We had a baby along and Traci had a feeding chair, bathtub and pak&play there for us. We did all our own cooking. The kitchen is very upscale and well stocked, including spices and 2 gas grills. We wanted for nothing other than an earlier checkin and later checkout. Very memorable time. I would highly recommend. Thank you Bruce and Traci for being such gracious hosts! ##### Jamie B.

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! ##### Caren M.

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. ##### doug H.

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. ##### Lisa B.

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ---
