Beauty and adventure inside and out! This custom stunning log home was built with relaxation in mind. When here, you will find yourself at one with the beautiful Black Hills with views for miles, thousands of ponderosa pines and frequent visits from wild turkey and deer. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath log home has 3 king beds, relaxation areas on each level, 22 ft high soaring vaulted ceilings, free wireless internet, 2 smart TV's, exercise equipment, ping pong table, fully equipped kitchen, laundry, gas grill, plenty of parking (including space for trailers), zero entry on the main level, Geothermal efficiency, 2 viewing decks and over 8 private 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 with some steep hills to navigate and in winter months a 4wd vehicle is recommended.

Upon arrival you will instantly fall in love with your surroundings of the beauty Black Hills country living had 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!

Additionally the property sits close to other major area attractions: less than 30 minutes to the following: Bear Country, Old McDonald's farm, Putt Putt golf, Reptile Gardens, Black Elk peak, Crazy Horse monument, and Lake Sylvan!

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. 

Master suite #1: (upper level): king bed, whirlpool, WIC, fireplace, private deck.
Master suite #2 : (main level): King bed, Large Closet, Smart TV, Bath access.
Bedroom 3: (Main level ): King bed, oversized closet

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! The house is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, it was very clean and it was fun to see deer every day. As noted, it is about 4 miles in on a gravel road so takes a bit of time to get there (like 15 minutes from town). We enjoyed this private setting for our stay. I had a question during our stay and the host responded right away. We stayed with our family of 6 adults. The ping pong table provided fun in the evening as well. I would recommend this property.

    The log cabin is beautiful and exceptionally clean. It is surrounded by trees and very quiet and private. The property is centrally located to most Black Hills attractions.Note: the roads in this entire area are “hilly and curvy”, so it takes extra time to drive to the various attractions, but the views along the way are amazing!

    This was an amazing place. It was super clean. The beds were super comfy. We were on motorcycle for the 85th Anniversary of Sturgis. The dirt road was very maintained. We love seeing the deer. I loved the deck upstairs, it was my favorite spot We had a great time. I would recommend this house! Thank you for sharing your house

    The overall stay was great. The property is centrally located to a lot of area activities, but off the beaten path, which we loved. It is very clean and maintained, and it felt like home away from home. We would stay again if we were ever in the area.

    The property is stunning both in natural setting as well as construction. With the ability for short hikes on the property, playing games, reading books, or playing ping pong, the entire family had a great time. My wife was able to make multiple meals with the available utensils, pots, and pans. The central location is ideal for exploring the beauty of the Black Hills.

    We had a great stay here. It’s on gravel but they’re nicely maintained roads. It’s the perfect location to all the things we wanted to see. Custer’s Park, Mt Rushmore, Needles Highway, and so much more. The kids loved the ping pong table and the wildlife that came to feed. There was plenty of space for our family of 6.

    We really enjoyed our time at this property. It was quiet, peaceful, and a pretty good location for all the things we wanted to do/see in the area. Kitchen had everything we needed for all the meals we prepared there. I loved the stainless steel pans!! Every VRBO we have rented always has scratched up Teflon pans which are so bad to cook with. The only thing they could consider providing is dishsoap in the kitchen (we could not find any, only dishwasher powder), lamps in the bedrooms, and a shade/curtain for the upstairs bedroom on the door that leads to the patio. Looks like there was one there so maybe it broke recently?

    I’ll start with location, central, all of the point of interest are within a short distance. The area where the cabin is located is peaceful, very quiet and gorgeous. Cabin itself is beautiful, spacious, very comfortable, all you need for a great stay onsite. Very detailed, blends in perfectly with the theme of the area. Beds are really comfortable

    The house and location are great, the only area that would be better is to have a kitchen better stocked with dishes and cooking pans/utensils.

    very modern, updated, well appointed house. Exceptionally clean, has everything needed for our stay. Multi-generational family used primarily to visit Mt Rushmore, Crazy horse and surrounding areas. When needed, owners very responsive. Loft area with ping pong table was nice for younger people in our party to enjoy. Beautiful space to look at the stars

    The property was fantastic. We ran the Mount Rushmore half marathon and this property was a mile away from the start line. This place was very well kept and maintained the owners have really made this place amazing always thinking of the guests they have. This was a great place to take the family.

    We stayed at this amazing property for a week with two families of four fitting very comfortably. The location is ideal with close proximity to all the area has to offer, especially Custer State Park. We enjoyed the deer and turkey visitors almost daily! This spot is truly a gem.
