Rapid City House | Rustic, yet comfortable log home with hot tub, sauna, and wood-fired pizza oven.

5 Bedroom House in Rapid City

This rustic, yet very comfortable log home is placed in a peaceful setting bordering many acres of forest service property. There are trails for mt. biking, hiking, cc-skiing, snow shoeing, right out the back gate. There is a UTV trailhead a mile away.
The house is quite unique. The half of the house over the garage is an addition that I built myself. The master bedroom is in the loft above the kitchen. Some unique features include two hidden storage drawers that look like walls of a fireplace and another that looks like a nine foot tall log wall. There are interesting light fixtures, such as the aspen log over the dining table, or the rope over antique pulley lights. There is whole-house SONOS sound system with 11 pairs of speakers hard-wired to individual volume controls that also serves the Jacuzzi, deck, and patio. There is a fake gold mine with an antique ore cart from the Homestake mine. I built the sauna with logs from the property. The old great room (pretty-good room) has a Samsung Frame TV that can display a variety of art curations from a large library. Perhaps you'll enjoy my "favorites". I have it cycle a new piece every three minutes. You can also cast photos from your phone, or watch shows on it. The screen pulls down and out for viewing from the recliner-sofa. It also has two rocking chairs facing a picture wilndow with a beautiful view to the west.
It has a loft master bedroom with a log king (Purple) bed and a Murphy twin bed in the master closet. They share a 3/4 bathroom. There is a log queen bed in the basement bedroom with an attached 3/4 bath. The basement family room has a cabinet Murphy queen bed and you share the same 3/4 bathroom. One main floor bedroom has a log bunk bed with a queen (Purple) mattress on the bottom and a twin above it. There is also another small bedroom with a log twin bed. The main floor has a handicap accessible full bathroom.
The kitchen accommodates many cooks and the table has six leaves to stretch it to about ten feet. The accompanying bench also has three leaves to make it longer. The inductive cooktop can double as a serving counter with a pad over the surface. The 4'x7' island is a social gathering spot, and works well for serving.
There are many places to find peace and quiet and find a view from inside the house. There are also many places to enjoy alone time, or grandkid time outside with a view too. The hammock near the sauna, or in the glider-bench facing the beautiful view to the west. You can also light the wood fire in the sauna and sweat your stress away. There's nothing better to do to your body's largest organ, the skin. The stamped concrete patio also has great places to listen to music, socialize, and enjoy the views. There are two glider rockers that can face the view to the west, or east. There is a "Fred Flintstones couch", a bench swing, picnic tables, and other patio furniture.
The Jacuzzi has a tub-surround to make it look like a cedar round tub. It is a 2024 model and has great views of both the sunrise and the sunset. Try making your own pizza in the wood-fired pizza oven. Depending on fire danger, you may be able to have a campfire in the fire pit. Perhaps you would cook in the dutch oven over the campfire.
The abundant wildlife will provide daily sitings of not just deer and turkeys, but also feral (wild) peacocks. My grandkids and I have had them eat out of our hands. If you see them coming, you can put some sunflower seeds (provided) out for them to eat off of deck posts etc. Lead them to you when you will be in the Jacuzzi.
It is located about six miles northwest of Rapid City, the "city of presidents". Downtown Rapid City has 44 life sized statues of presidents. You can scan the QR code and listen to the audio explaining their lives.
Conveniently located off of beautiful Nemo Road, which carves a curvy, hilly, scenic path through the Hills. There is a half mile of well-maintained, gravel road leading to the house.

Summary: Imagine a fun-packed day experiencing all the Black Hills has to offer and then coming "home" to a peaceful, quiet, serene setting built in the middle of whispering ponderosas. That's what you'll experience in Bruce's home in the foothills of Rapid City. The home has everything (and then some) to make your stay just what you wanted. The property adjoins government land so you can use that in addition to the spacious yard. We enjoyed nightly fire pit gatherings, watching the deer and wild turkeys come and go. We had 3 children in our group of nine and they had ample room to explore and use their imaginations inventing games in the yard. I personally enjoyed the hammock when the down-slope winds would kick in early in the evening. The younger crowd enjoyed relaxing in the large and immaculately clean hot tub. Bruce's house has everything you would need and is as neat as a pin: ample towels; lots of cooking utensils; an indoor/outdoor music system; washer and dryer/ and enough maps and local information to make sure you see what you want to see. Bruce is currently enlarging his home, but the construction doesn't affect your stay whatsoever. It will be amazing when he finishes it I'm sure. Speaking of Bruce, he is the nicest and kindest person to deal with. He's as honest as the day is long, and will ensure everything is done right. We checked in with his manager, Lindsey, who was also incredible. She met us to check us in and showed us all the ropes. She also returned to check us out. The home was perfect for three couples and three children. Privacy was never an issue and everyone had his/her own space. You owe it to yourselves to stay here because I frankly will remember the family times we spent in the cabin more so than some of the things we did in the area.
