Veteran Owned & Operated in Nemo SD! Freebird Lodge is ideally situated in the quaint village of Nemo, South Dakota, offering a serene and cozy retreat in the heart of the Black Hills. This prime location places vacationers at the center of a plethora of outdoor and cultural activities. Guests have easy access to hiking through the lush National forests, engaging in trout fishing, and exploring caves. The area is also great for trail riding with all-terrain vehicles, rock climbing, star gazing, and bird watching. Rich in history, Nemo is close to historical Native American sites and museums. The region's stunning lakes invite visitors to enjoy boating and swimming in some of the most picturesque waters in the country. Additionally, the Lodge's central location provides convenient access to iconic landmarks such as Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial, making it an ideal base for a diverse and fulfilling Black Hills experience.

During the summer months our guests can enjoy our private 40' heated saltwater pool and recreation room adjacent to the Osprey pool house. The recreation room features a pool table, foosball, and an infrared sauna. The pool and rec room are open June-July-August 11am-5pm (pool cover opened on request if below 70 out!).

There are so many things to enjoy here, especially our skies! Here the vastness of the sky unfolds in a breathtaking panorama. During the day, the sun bathes the landscape in brilliant sunshine, casting a warm, golden glow over the towering mountains and open spaces. During the daylight hours eagles, sandhill cranes, herons and multiple other species of birds can be seen overhead. This vibrant daylight scene transitions into a mesmerizing night sky. As dusk falls, the moon emerges, casting a serene, silvery light that illuminates the night. The real spectacle, however, is the unobstructed view of the Milky Way. Far from city lights, the sky above Nemo is a canvas of infinite stars, twinkling and shimmering in the clear, dark night. This celestial display offers a profound sense of connection to the universe, turning the night sky into a stunning spectacle of natural beauty.

Experience unmatched luxury at Freebird Lodge, a 6500 square foot haven with top-tier amenities. This palatial retreat includes three distinct grand suites and accommodates up to 24 guests in style. Our three suites are the Eagle, the Heron, and the Mountain Blue Bird. The residence has two levels, with two suites on the top level with the third below. There is a cedar, mostly covered, wraparound deck. The interior and the exterior of the home is furnished with multiple furniture groupings that provide a comfy gathering place for all. Each grand suite contains a full kitchen, dining room, living room, fireplace, laundry and at least one full luxurious bathroom. Consistent 5-star reviews confirm that the lodge is just as advertised, luxurious, thoughtfully appropriated, and immaculate! Lifetime memories are made here!

Our Suites:

The Eagle Grand Suite

Named after the pair of Eagles that winter in an old growth Ponderosa pine tree down by our stream, our Eagle suite is the epitome of luxury. As the doors swing open, you're greeted by an awe-inspiring foyer, illuminated by a magnificent chandelier that casts a warm glow over the glossy blond logs framing the great room. The centerpiece, a majestic mossy-rock fireplace, creates an ambiance of rustic sophistication.

The suite boasts soaring vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, inviting natural light to dance across the heirloom leather furniture and the rich red oak floors. This spacious haven seamlessly integrates a living room, dining area, and a state-of-the-art chef and butler's kitchen -- perfect for memorable gatherings.

Praised as the pinnacle of vacation rentals, the Eagle Suite spares no effort in delivering an unparalleled experience. Each of the two expansive bedrooms is a realm of comfort, featuring plush queen beds, cozy lounge chairs, and love seats. Smart TVs mounted above large dressers provide modern convenience, complemented by the softness of the carpeted floors.

The master bath is a sanctuary of relaxation, complete with a jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, and a private commode. The double sink is set against cherry cabinets that span the wall, leading to a spacious walk-in closet.

Discover even more in this grand suite: a dedicated space for puzzles or board games, a closet brimming with books and games, and even a central vacuum system for effortless upkeep. The laundry room is fully equipped with a washer, dryer, and a variety of cleaning essentials, ensuring every need is catered to without compromising on the suite's luxurious allure.

Indulge in the Eagle Grand Suite, where every detail is crafted for your utmost comfort and enjoyment -- a place not just to stay, but to be truly pampered.

The Heron Grand Suite

Named in honor of the pair of Herons that fish in our stream all summer, the Heron suite is a tranquil oasis where elegance meets serenity. As you pass through the double French doors, you'll find yourself enveloped in a world of high ceilings, modern gray textured flooring, and teak wood accents, all bathed in soft, calming colors.

This suite is a haven of luxury and entertainment. It boasts a fully-equipped, full-sized kitchen, perfect for culinary adventures. The adjoining bistro table and chairs offer a charming spot for intimate meals. Plus, a laundry room adds convenience to your stay.

The Grand Heron Suite features two generously sized bedrooms, each a sanctuary of comfort with two plush queen beds, cozy lounge chairs, and spacious dressers and closets. One bedroom even includes a full-sized couch, adding an extra layer of comfort and relaxation.
Continuing the elegant theme of the Eagle, the Heron Suite is adorned with sophisticated lighting that creates a warm, inviting ambiance. The linens are a tasteful blend of creams, turquoise, and hints of red and black, each room presenting a unique theme. Experience the charm of the western cowgirl room, adorned with collectible vintage ranch oak rockers and cowgirl-horse artwork, evoking a sense of nostalgic elegance.

Each bedroom, along with the great room, opens up to the deck through glass sliding doors, seamlessly blending indoor luxury with outdoor beauty. Outside, the great room leads to two enchanting hanging bench/swings, overlooking a meticulously maintained lawn. Engage in outdoor fun with a ready-to-play corn hole game, or enjoy a game of volleyball on the court, complete with benches for spectators to cheer on.

The Grand Heron Suite isn't just a place to stay; it's a destination in itself, offering a perfect blend of relaxation, entertainment, and luxury.

The Mountain Bluebird Grand Suite - Named after the strikingly colored little birds that make our property home during the summer months, this suite, which is the north wing of the Lodge, offers a spacious and luminous experience with its floor-to-ceiling windows facing east towards the majestic Nemo Mountain and its impressive rock ridge. This complete suite boasts a great room encompassing a full kitchen, dining area, and living room, along with a full bath and two large bedrooms, each furnished with two queen beds. Modern amenities include smart TVs in each bedroom and a large TV monitor in the living room. The suite opens onto a wrap-around deck shared with the Eagle suite, leading to an outdoor Yukon fire pit and gathering area, perfect for relaxation and socializing.

The suite's furnishings are a collection of mid-century modern heirloom pieces, carefully selected by the owner's furniture hunting trips across the country. The art within the suite is tastefully chosen, depicting scenes of animals in nature, contributing to the suite's serene and natural ambiance. The lighting is modern, with some unique, one-of-a-kind pieces designed by the interior designer, adding a touch of elegance and creativity to the space. This harmonious blend of comfort, style, and nature-inspired elements makes the Bluebird grand suite a luxurious and peaceful retreat.
