About the host
Hosted by Megan Channell
Megan and Joey have been hosting since 2025. They live in Omaha, NE. We love being able to share our special properties with our guests to enjoy as well!
Why they chose this property
Joey's family goes back several generation in Custer, SD. The Black Hills have been very special to our family, and we have enjoyed updating this property to accommodate guests as well.
What makes this property unique
Pine Lodge not only has the main cabin, but also a bunk house within feet of the cabin. The property spans over 7 acres. Pine Lodge is located right off of the Mickelson Trail, a paved/gravel trail that spans over 109 miles in South Dakota. Pine Lodge is located just 2 minutes from the entrance of Custer State Park, and an easy drive to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse memorial.
