About this property

Romantic Nemo Retreat - Big View • King Suite • Trail Access

The Dove
A Private Luxury Hideaway for Two in the Black Hills
VRBO Premier Host award winners 4 times a year for 8 years in a row!

Some escapes are about getting away.
Others are about coming closer — to nature, to quiet, to each other.

Welcome to The Dove, your private retreat tucked inside Freebird Ranch in the peaceful mountain town of Nemo. Surrounded by National Forest and the gentle sound of a year-round creek, this is where the Black Hills feel personal.

Yes, it’s an RV.
But not the kind you’re imagining.

This is a beautifully appointed Dutchman Astoria designed for comfort, warmth, and a touch of indulgence — a space created specifically for two guests who want something memorable.

Comfort That Feels Effortless
Step inside and you’re greeted by soft lighting, refined finishes, and thoughtful details.

A true king-sized bed with plush linens
Cozy recliners perfect for slow mornings or movie nights
A spa-inspired bathroom with double sinks
Fully hooked up
A fully equipped kitchen with pantry and U-shaped dinette
Central air for warm summer days
Alexa, high-speed WiFi, Netflix & Prime streaming
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

This isn’t “camping.”
It’s elevated simplicity — luxury wrapped in mountain calm.

Mornings in the Hills

Wake to the gentle sound of water moving through the creek and sunlight filtering through tall pines. Brew coffee. Open the door. Breathe deeply.

Wildlife often wanders through the surrounding forest. Deer pass quietly. Birds call overhead. The air smells clean and crisp.

There’s no rush here.

(Veteran Owned & Operated in Nemo, South Dakota)

Pet Friendly!

Surroundings are so peaceful and beautiful. Branding Iron restaurant across the street had great food. Great to have the owners living on the resort. Pool was refreshing and clean. Pictures of the unit are exact and it was very clean. King bed is comfy. Fireplace is wonderful and throws out great heat. Fan for heat and/or a/c is loud.

Nice place-country living

Overall we were pleased with our stay, pictures were accurate to the actual property. The view was very nice. I’ll will leave the following comments only because I am pretty particular: this property does have what would appear to be full time residents (not owners) next door. Quite a bit of activity going on. There is a lot of additional kitchen things behind the tv/fireplace, took us awhile to figure that out, more towels could be supplied, bring more from home if you feel you need more than 1 each.

Excellent!

Loved everything about our stay! Very clean and stocked with everything we needed to make our stay a comfortable one! We even spent an afternoon in the outdoor pool on a hot day. We loved the location with a general store, UTV rentals and restaurant located within walking distance! We would definitely book here again!
