This property is on approximately 4 miles of gravel roads. The roads are well maintained by the county but it is gravel and in winter months a 4wd vehicle is recommended.
Upon arrival you will instantly fall in love with your surroundings, which include with what Black Hills country living has to offer.

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 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.

We absolutely loved the cabin and the beautiful location. We were able to see so many things nearby and then return to a quiet, peaceful place and relax. The cabin was very clean and comfortable and the hosts always replied quickly if we needed to reach out.
This cabin was wonderful! It was perfect for every need we had. We loved the beds, there were plenty of hooks in the bathroom (this is typically lacking in most rentals), the property, grounds and location were beautiful, and contact with the property owners was effortless! Also note that it was immaculate! Would definitely stay again if in the area.
Very clean, good location cabin. Easily accommodated our family of 5. Our kids loved the wildlife that walks by the cabin. Would definitely stay again!
The cabin was extremely comfortable for our family. The kids loved the outdoors and exploring the grounds. If we come back to this area this is where we would stay.
The cabin was just as posted. It was a great location for us to visit the Badlands, Black Hills, Custer, Crazy Horse, and Mt Rushmore. Definitely recommend staying here!
Cabin had everything we needed to enjoy our trip to the Black Hills. Close to Custer, Keystone, and Rapid City. Lots of hiking trails nearby and the smell on the Ponderosa Pines each morning was priceless! Great Place!
Our stay was amazing! Beautiful home to stay in on our return from sight seeing. Saw a lot of sights, visiting Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park.
This was a great location to see the national parks and attractions in SD. The cabin was very clean and had everything that we needed to have a comfortable stay. We rally enjoyed the deer and the turkeys that came by. We would highly recommend this property to anyone lookng for upscale lodging in this area.
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.
The house is amazing! Comfortable, clean, accessible and it provided us with all we needed. The roads and tourist attractions are very accessible too! Definitely recommend it!
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!!
The property was exactly as described. It fit our family perfectly and was close to everything we wanted to visit while in South Dakota. Very clean and an extremely easy check in!
Our family loved this stay. Perfectly centered to all of all the sites in South Dakota. Visited the national forests: Black Hills, Badlands, Windcave. Also visited Deadwood and the Mammoth Site. I would highly recommend.
My grandchildren enjoyed watching for the wildlife. Very comfortable, quiet and clean. I enjoyed the peacefulness and watching my grandchildren explore.
Beautiful place, peaceful and quiet. Saw lots of wildlife both there and on the drive back to the cabin. Only suggestions would be the main floor living room could have more seating. We don’t have enough room for all of us to sit. Better pots and pans. Fry pans especially. More kitchen towels. Over all had a great stay and enjoyed it very much!
