Nice Side by Side home-base

The lack of a dishwasher becomes a big deal when check out is 10am and you are required to clean all the dishes before you leave. Host demanded to know why we were in town, seemed a bit overbearing.

Great location for ATVing

Great location. Central location to all of the best ATV/UTV trails in the Black Hills. The house was very clean. The wi-fi worked good. Side note: the beds are very firm, half of the group likes firm, the other half would prefer a little softer.

ATV friendly

My favorite thing about this place is the convenience of the riding trails for the ATV’s we brought. The bed I slept in was not comfortable at all, (not sure about others), and the water pressure in the upstairs shower wasn’t very good but other than that no complaints. We would stay here again and recommend to friends.

Great location to ride the trails. Wonderful home

We spent a week in the Black Hills and this is a perfect location to hit some great trails, with gas nearby at the Nemo Mercantile, and you can take in some sightseeing when you need a respite from riding. The home is nicely appointed, really comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with a lot of tools to prepare a meal. It is a really nice space for two couples and there were bathrooms on each floor with showers so each couple/family can have their own private space. The washer and dryer are appreciated for a mid-week load of laundry and we loved the use of the garage as well. Katharine and Paul are very responsive and are wonderful hosts.

Great place to stay for recreation in the Hills

We stayed here for a off road motorcycle trip. We were able to ride out of the house and be on the trails in a matter of minutes. The house was clean and had a good layout for our needs. Kitchen was fairly well equipped and there was enough stuff to get the basics done without issues. Living room was nice with a TV and dish. The Wifi is slow, but was OK for what we needed. It has a nice full sized washer and dryer. The place has a decent sized attached garage. Which came in handy for storing, working on and maintaining our rides. Also was nice to have our trailer and stuff locked up when we left the house. Not that you would pry need that up there anyway! Some of the "not the greatest" things worth mentioning: Cell reception at the house and in the area is spotty. This is not the owners fault, but thought I would mention it. Verizon and Sprint were the carries we were using(it is a vacation place, but makes things a little harder keeping wives happy when we are gone riding!) Plan on wifi calling or email to keep in touch at the house. The basement is not yet finished out all the way. Looks like a work in progress so I am sure it will be soon. So the blower unit for the Heating/AC is out in the open. It is pretty loud at night if you use the 2 beds down there and since it was getting cold we needed it running. So put the heavy sleepers down there. The showers are nice, but the water pressure is not so great. Only one at a time and keep the clothes washer off while doing so. Overall for the convenience, location, what we were doing up there and other local amenities it was a great place for our needs. We will be staying here again as soon as we can to enjoy the area again!

Great location, clean and quiet.

The owners were great to work with. The amenities listed were very accurate. For a small house it had a lot of room with a very nice wrap around deck. Great place for early morning coffee. This house would easily accommodate 4 couples. The use of the garage was a plus for parking our motorcycles in at night. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Katharine Lehmkuhl

Host profile image
We fell in love with Nemo the first time we rode through the area. My husband and I love to ride the hills during the Sturgis Rally and on one of those rides we came upon Nemo. After that we made it a point each year of stopping at the Nemo Guest Ranch for dinner, or an early morning ride to enjoy the Nemo Volunteer Fire Department Breakfast. Finally, after just being a visitor to the area, we decided to buy a place of our own and spend more time enjoying this beautiful area.

What makes this property unique

Since buying our Nemo home we have broadened our outdoor adventures. We love spending the day riding our ATV’s over the many trails. On an ordinary ride we can picnic by an old, abandoned mine or find the trace outline of an abandoned homestead. My husband has also added the sport of turkey and deer hunting and can hunt in the forested areas right around our Nemo home.

During spring and summer the area is full of beautiful wild flowers. Short walks down the country road that runs by our house and you come upon countless wild flowers. I have started a wild flower picture collection of the many different flowers seen in this area and on our trail hiking.

There is so much natural beauty in this area; one simply enjoys the quietness and clean air.
