About this house rental

Beauty and adventure inside and out! This completely custom stunning log home was built with relaxation in mind. When here, you will find yourself at one with the beautiful Black Hill with views of the badlands, thousands of ponderosa pines, along with 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, free parking, walkout lower level, 3 viewing decks and 12 acres to take in all the wildlife!

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. 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 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.

Bedroom 2: (lower level walkout): queen bed

We were concerned to see the number of homes in the area when arriving but quickly discovered after there, it didnt matter as it was always very quiet and we were able to enjoy the beauty

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.

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!
