The whole stay was amazing. Not only is the location perfect and tranquil but Jody is the perfect hostess. So friendly and welcoming. One thing we took advantage of is having no television reception which allowed us to have great conversations and to enjoy sitting on the front porch and outdoor swings. We booked a longer stay for next year!

This house has everything anyone could possibly need. The owners are super nice and even left us a fresh loaf of banana bread, which was delicious. The house is located in the middle of nowhere. Which was perfect for us. No noise, lots of wildlife to watch. We had such an amazing time checking out everything in south dakota. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful home.

Black Hills getaway
This lovely farmhouse was perfectly located to enjoy all of the area sites. We enjoyed the rural area…beautiful scenery with many animal sitings. The owners are fantastic people, and are definitely available if needed but not going to encroach on your trip if not. The banana bread was a much appreciated welcome gift.

Miata Trip to the Black Hills
My wife and I took a short trip for our anniversary to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We stayed at the simply farmhouse in Nemo. We couldn’t have had a better host who was concerned for us throughout our stay. The home sits on a beautiful piece of land and gave us access to both the north and the south Black Hills. There is plenty of parking as I towed a trailer with our Miata inside. I can’t say enough good about where we stayed, the location, the owners of the property, and the property itself. If you’re looking for a quiet relaxing place, this is it. Everything was as it was described on their listing. Thank you, Jody and Rick for such a wonderful time and I hope you get to Alaska before long to do some fishing!!

Simply amazing
My family and i spent 6 days at Rick and Jody's amazing home while exploring the black hills. This house had everything we needed and then some and was very well decorated to make a person feel at home. Walking in and haveing a very nice personal note and fresh banana bread was the iceing on the cake for us. We would recommend this house a million times over and when we come back to South Dakota there is no question where we are staying.

Nicest place we have ever stayed at in the Black Hills region.
Beautiful house and property grounds. Wild deer and turkeys everywhere. Owners were awesome. Had homemade banana bread waiting for us. Beautiful fireplace. Comfortable beds. Close to trails. Will be back soon. Perfect.

Ideal South Dakota destination
This was our second stay at the Farmhouse and it won't be our last. The hosts Jody and Rick are the best and talking with them was really nice. The house has everything you need for your getaway. The location for us was ideal because we bring our UTV and the trails are very close, so we didn't have to trailer it to a trails. The zucchini bread is always a highlight....yum.

All you need and more
The Farmhouse is perfectly positioned for a Black Hills vacation. It was easy to travel in all directions to Devils Tower, Badlands, Wind Cave, Custer, Mount Rushmore. Close enough to Deadwood or Hill City for restaurants. Yet, also very quiet with lots of wildlife to see and hear (turkeys, elk, deer). The house itself is really charming and comfortable for a relaxed stay. Loved the porch and the views. The host is friendly and welcoming. Loved the zucchini bread she made for us.

Excellent location and hosts
House was what we expected, clean, comfortable. Hosts even had Homeade zucchini bread for us guests. Amazing and thoughtful. Much appreciated!
No complaints at all. Did not realize there was no central ac but it didn’t matter. The house was plenty cool from the overnight cool air. Only thing that could have made it a little easier for our group of 4 would be a slightly larger microwave.
