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.

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!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay in your beautiful home. Your place looks even better than the pics. The cabin was close to everything we wanted to do but, still secluded enough that we felt away from it all. We made breakfast every morning and dinners most evenings. The kitchen has it all. Don’t think twice about visiting this beautiful cabin! Thank you!

Had a good time. The cabin was secluded, quiet, and peaceful which is just what we were looking for. Saw some deer and quite a few turkeys. Great view from the balcony but our plan on our last evening to relax on the balcony was interrupted by a bad thunderstorm and lots of hail.

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.
