Welcome to Boxelder Bluff, your private nature escape tucked into the scenic beauty of the Black Hills. Just 8 miles from Rapid City, this secluded home offers 360° views that are truly breathtaking. Surrounded by forest and with no neighbors in sight, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, reconnect, and take in wildlife strolling past from the large deck. Grill out under the stars, sip your morning coffee surrounded by nature and views of the mountains and valley, or simply soak in the serenity, all while being minutes from city conveniences and Black Hills adventures.

Whether you're planning a family getaway, coming to town for a wedding or event, an ATV or Motorcycle trip, or a group gathering, Boxelder Bluff is a comfortable and versatile basecamp. There’s plenty of room to spread out, with two spacious living areas, TVs in every bedroom, and multiple decks made for enjoying nature. For quiet nights in, enjoy a selection of movies and a DVD player — perfect for relaxed evenings or a family movie night. For those mixing some work with their play, bring your laptop because there’s a home office setup with dual monitors, Starlink WiFi, and a printer/copier, ideal for remote work or homework between hikes.

ATV enthusiasts and bikers will love the location! Hop on nearby trails and wind your way to the historic town of Nemo in less than 35 minutes. Vanocker Canyon and Nemo Road offer some of the best scenic riding in the Hills, and you’re just 27 miles from world-famous Sturgis. A circular driveway and RV parking space make it easy for trailers, campers, or larger vehicles.

You're also steps away from adventure: right across the road, hike to the unique Creek Caves via a local trail or explore the mystic 'stone maze' near Steamboat Rock. Spend your days hiking, biking, discovering hidden trails, or stopping by the charming nearby towns like Deadwood, Keystone, or Hill City. And after a day of adventure, come home to nature, stars, and mountain peace.

Whether you're here to explore, ride, work remotely in nature, or simply relax, Boxelder Bluff offers the space, comfort, and setting for an unforgettable Black Hills stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Boxelder Bluff. The house was spacious, clean and well maintained. Three bedrooms, two with en-suites and one with a bathroom down the hall. Two separate living spaces and a kitchen outfitted with whatever you might need. The laundry room has a full size washer and dryer. TVs in every bedroom and living space. There is a nice wooded view from the large windows and the decks. You do have to take a gravel road from Nemo Road up the hill through the forest to reach the house. But it is a nice secluded location.

We loved this home for our stay in Rapid City. It had enough room for everyone to enjoy there peace and quiet. Loved the privacy and abundance of deer that greeted us in the morning and evening. Thank you for making our first trip to South Dakota so special.
