The Lodge at Nemo – Where the Black Hills Become Your Backyard
The moment you turn onto the quiet road that winds into Nemo, South Dakota, the outside world begins to fade. The air feels cleaner here. The pines stand tall like sentinels, their scent mingling with the crisp mountain breeze. Somewhere in the distance, the rush of a hidden creek plays like background music. And then you see it—The Lodge at Nemo—your private retreat tucked deep in the heart of the Black Hills.
This is where your people gather.
Where a weekend becomes a tradition.
Where stories aren’t just told—they’re made.
Whether you arrive for a wedding, a family reunion, a milestone birthday, or simply to escape to a place that still feels wild and untouched, The Lodge welcomes you with open arms.
A Place Made for Connection
Mornings here start slow. Sunlight filters through floor-to-ceiling windows in the Eagle Grand Suite, spilling across the great room’s mossy-rock fireplace. Coffee brews in the chef’s kitchen as laughter drifts in from the deck. Someone is already outside, taking in the view of Nemo Mountain while deer graze just beyond the trees.
Days are yours to fill—wander pine-lined trails on foot or ATV, cast a line in crystal-clear streams, or pack a picnic and explore nearby icons like Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, and Custer State Park. If adventure is your style, the Black Hills are your playground. If peace is what you crave, there’s a quiet spot on the wraparound deck calling your name. We even mow a path down by the brook-trout filled bubbling creek for peaceful walks and contemplation. Or stay home and enjoy a game of pool or a soothing sauna.
Evenings are magic. The fire pit crackles, marshmallows roast, and voices mingle with the chorus of crickets. Above you, the night sky comes alive with more stars than you knew existed—bright, unhurried, and endless.
Stay Connected, If You Want – High-speed mesh WiFi and 5G keep you in touch without pulling you away from the moment.
Three Private Worlds Under One Roof
The Lodge is big enough for everyone—yet designed so you’ll never feel crowded.
The Eagle Grand Suite: Vaulted ceilings, towering windows, and a fireplace that begs for long conversations. Cozy king and queen beds, a jacuzzi tub, and a game room keep everyone entertained.
The Heron Grand Suite: Western-chic style meets wide-open space. A pool table for friendly competition, a deck with porch swings, and room for gathering after the day’s adventures.
The Bluebird Grand Suite: Mid-century modern warmth, curated artwork, and a wrap-around deck with breathtaking views. Nights here end with stories by the Yukon fire pit under the stars.
Why Guests Return Again and Again
Nature on Your Doorstep – Eagles overhead, creeks at your feet, and miles of trails to explore.

The Black Hills Are Waiting
Here, the pace is slower. The air is fresher. The memories last longer. The Lodge at Nemo isn’t just a place to stay—it’s the backdrop to your most treasured moments.
Come for the adventure. Stay for the connection. Leave with a story you’ll tell for years.
Please note that VRBO has a system error under “Pool/Spa,” sometimes showing “Fenced private pool” even though we do not have a pool and have the pool amenity turned off. Our neighboring 'Osprey' rental does have a pool, but this one does not. We do offer a pool table, large yard, corn toss, volleyball/badminton, and an exercise room equipped with foosball, ping pong, elliptical, a spin bike, and a Bowflex.
