Custom Black hills log cabin w/ views, secluded, 12 miles to MT Rushmore!

Beauty and adventure inside and out! This completely custom stunning log home was built with relaxation in mind. The home is cozy, yet very open. When here, you will find yourself at one with the beautiful Black Hills. Views of the badlands, thousands of ponderosa pines, along with frequent visits from wild turkey and deer make this property a nature lovers paradise! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath log home has 1 bedroom and relaxation areas on each level, 22 ft high soaring vaulted ceilings, views of the badlands (from 70 miles away!), free wireless internet, 2 smart TV's, fully equipped kitchen, Laundry, gas grill, plenty of parking, walkout lower level, 3 viewing decks and 12 acres to roam and take in all the wildlife!

This property is on approximately 4 miles of gravel roads. The roads are very well maintained by the county but it is gravel and in winter months a 4wd vehicle or decent snow tires are recommended.

Upon arrival you will instantly fall in love with your surroundings, which include: Beautiful natural landscaping, views, and thousands of ponderosa pines!

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! In 60 minutes or less you could be driving through the Badland Lands National Park or it’s out skirting National Grass Lands, walking through Rushmore Cave, visiting Crazy Horse Monument, gazing at the abundant wildlife in the Black Hills, hunting for fossils or Fairburn agates, enjoying beautiful Sylvan Lake, indulging yourself in the rich history of the Native American Sioux Tribe, or enjoying a day of shopping in Keystone, Hill City, or Rapid City.

Additionally the property sits close to other major area attractions: 30 minutes to the following: Bear Country, Old McDonald's farm, Putt Putt golf, Reptile Gardens, and Black Elk peak. Easy access no matter where you want to go, scenic drives included.

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.

Great Stay
The home was extremely clean. The property is private yet relatively close to attractions like Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park. We enjoyed our stay at the home and the kids loved seeing deer and turkey at the outside feeder each morning. If we visit South Dakota again, we would certainly book this property again.

Beautiful & Cozy Getaway
Our stay was wonderful! The cabin was very clean and cozy. We will definitely be coming back in the future. Our favorite part was how quiet it is on the deck. The turkey’s came to visit everyday which our kids loved. Thanks again for the great stay!!

Hermosa, SD Stay
We loved this property. It was so clean and the kitchen was great. It was a good spot for us to leave each day and visit many sites in this area (Custer State Park, Needles Hwy, Mt. Rushmore, Wind Cave, Jewel, Cave etc.). The binder in the cabin from the hosts was so helpful!

Black Hills Getaway
Beautiful, quiet and safe vacation cabin that is rustic luxury. Located close to all sites of interest in Black Hills, South Dakota and the surrounding area, including the Badlands, South Dakota and Devil's Tower Monument, Wyoming. Set in nature with daily visits from wildlife, especially deer and turkey! Our family loved our stay and highly recommends this cabin.

Perfect Family Vacation
The property was beautiful and very well maintained. The location was ideal for visiting all area attractions including Mount Rushmore, the Badlands and Custer State Park. It was excellent for star gazing, too. We also enjoyed the local wildlife while arriving back to the cabin each day. Outstanding experience!

Beautiful log cabin home very spacious and clean up on a hill. Very serene we enjoyed sitting out on deck looking out at the night sky. The cabin was close to Keystone, Custer and Custer State park, about 45 minutes to Mt Rushmore…

Great Location
The home is nice and in a beautiful location. We were allowed to check in early and departed early. One snafu: housekeeping had not followed the previous renters so house was not ready. I worked with owner and she was communicative and helpful and made monetary compensation for my having to clean. Despite that, we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful clean cabin centrally located between Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, Badlands, and Custer State Park. There is few mile gravel road to the cabin in case you aren't used to that. Peaceful place, and I highly recommend. Our kids loved the loft!

We had a wonderful time exploring South Dakota. This log cabin is beautiful and very clean. It had everything we needed (including lots of deer on the property). It was a great location to all the sights we explored (Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Badlands, Keystone, Deadwood, Custer State Park, Wind Cave, Devil's Tower, etc.) The Black Hills are beautiful and we are so thankful we had such a wonderful place to come back to after exploring all day.

Living the Dream in South Dakota
More than we expected, Turkey, deer, great view. The property was quiet, relaxing and good proximity. The road is unpaved, but is as good as a paved road, well maintained. Nice having the living spaces, worked well for 2 families. My husband is a contractor and really appreciated the craftsmanship of the log cabin.

We thought it was possible we were the first guests to stay here. So clean and when we walked in it had a subtle, not artificial, welcoming fresh smell. Easy to find. Beautiful views. Quiet peaceful setting. Exactly what we were looking for.

South Dakota Family Vacation
We had a wonderful experience with our stay. My wife and kids spent 4 nights here while vacationing in the Black Hills. Everything about the property was fantastic. The location was central to everything we wanted to visit. The cabin itself is wonderful. Plenty of space for the 4 of us, and turn-key from a check-in/check-out standpoint. The quiet more secluded location afforded us plenty of opportunities to see wildlife and the kids enjoyed hiking around exploring the property. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend to others looking for a home away from home while visiting the Black Hills.
