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.

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.

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!

It is a country environ as expected. The roads are winding and we did not stay out late as the ride back can be challenging in the dark. Of course, we were better at it as the week progressed. We were near enough to get everywhere we wanted to go easily but definitely felt remote and the quiet was excellent and the night sky astounding. Loved watching the deer at the feeder. It was comfortable and just lovely.

The home was extremely clean. The property is private yet relatively close to attractions like Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park.
