Nemo, South Dakota
We offer you a choice, at Black Hills Lodging Cabins, of two memorable places to stay during your visit to the Black Hills - our historic log cabin or our new cottage. Our fully furnished log cabin has been completely renovated and restored. It was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and was razed from its original site and moved to this beautiful area, situated on five acres. Our new cottage is also located on five separate acres. The cabin is on the west end and the cottage is on the east end of the 15 private acres that we own in scenic Vanocker Canyon, all bordered by Forest Service land, each with a separate entrance, parking and newly paved driveway. Owners live over the hill and through the woods. We are not within a development and we own and manage our vacation homes under a lodging license issued through the State of South Dakota, where we have lived and worked for over 30 years. Our cabin and cottage have been listed in the "Insider's Guide" since 1997, and you will be very pleased if you choose to stay at Little Elk.
