The house was perfect for 5 couples. We enjoyed the privacy of our rooms and the house is very spacious with plenty of outdoor space to relax and visit. We went biking daily as it’s right on the Mickkelson Trail. I would highly recommend this place for large families or groups.

Everything was perfect. Larry was the nicest guy. If we needed anything he was very helpful. Everyone liked they had their own space, but we had big gathering places. The pool was used every evening & some mornings.

A beautiful property close to many sites.We loved the outside fireplace, swimming pool, and definitely, appreciated all the bathrooms. We utilized the 2 refrigerators and kitchen, and barbequed the last evening. Communication was exceptional with Larry. There were 8 of us for a family reunion. I highly recommend this place.

For our family reunion we wanted a place where we could go explore various attractions during the day and gather for a family dinner prepared in our kitchen by family members followed by games and great conversations around the amazing fireplace. This lodge has a hot tub and a HEATED pool. Seven bedrooms/ and I think 10 beds. Plenty of room for the 17 of us. This property is close to Mt Rushmore, the Needles, Sylvan Lake all in Custer State Park. Some enjoyed hikes, others the Hill City and Custer shopping and eateries. The host was on site often and very helpful. Absolutely a great choice- 5 stars!!

Matt was awesome to work with! Very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The lodge was great. The rooms were big and easily accommodated our party of five adult couples and five kids.
