Amazing stay in the beautiful Black Hills

We loved our time at this amazing home. We loved the spacious, well appointed rooms, we spent a lot of time in the pool and had a lot of fun in the game room. We also loved the spacious outdoor area and walked down to the creek every day. We wouldn’t hesitate to come here again for another fun stay in the Rapid City area!

Amazing centrally located place near Mt Rushmore

Amazing pool, well appointed kitchen and bathrooms with unexpected extras such as spices and zip lock bags and every appliance you’d need in the kitchen and all the toiletries you’d need in the 3 + 1/2 bathrooms.

Absolutely Amazing!

Cannot recommend this home/property enough! Beautiful setting and home. It's away from everything, but that was perfect for us to drive to all the area sites daily. We were gone to the sites all day and then we could play pool, foosball, badminton/volleyball in the evening (or go for a swim). Great for families. Super clean and comfortable. Wonderful, friendly owners!

Great Stay!

Really great stay here. The space was perfect for our group of ATV riders and Nemo was a great jumping off point. The pool was perfect after a long day, and owner was gracious and easy to communicate with. Really recommend this spot to anyone. Rooms were super large and spacious and comfy.

Amazing location and amenities

The location was perfect (close proximity to start point of a weekend trail race), the scenery was outstanding, and the pool was fantastic! The home was very clean, wonderfully decorated and perfect for the size of our party. We definitely plan to return to this place!

Great Place with Plenty of Room

We stayed in the Osprey, it had lots of room, everything was provided except food! It was very convenient to be connected to the pool house and the game room, our kids loved it! The house had a portable air conditioner, which kept it fairly comfortable, but it was in the 90’s when we were there, so it ran constantly, so just an FYI, it wasn’t as quiet as central air. We also opened the windows during the night and it cooled off nicely. The location is in the valley with beautiful views of cliffs and evergreens, along with a stream just a short walk away. The amenities were a drive to get to, ie. groceries and restaurants. There is a small local store with necessities if needed. There is also a local restaurant in Nemo, but it was closed when we wanted to dine there. We loved the Sugar Shack which wasn’t too bad of a drive. They had great burgers! The hosts were very responsive when we had a question or needs.. Overall a great place to stay!

Absolutely amazing

This was the best place for us, a group of 6, to stay while attending the Sturgis rally. We were centrally located from so many attractions. The Osprey accommodations were perfect and provided privacy for each couple yet large enough gathering area for all of us. The views were breathtaking every morning and night. We would highly recommend the Freebird Ranch.
