Perfect place for families!

Deer Losge was perfect for seven family members ranging in age from 71 to 9 years! The grounds are beautiful, the wrap around porch was a perfect hang out spot in the evenings. The lodge was clean and had everything we needed.

Wonderful place for a family vacation

The Deer Glen Lodge was a wonderful accommodation for our group of 11 with plenty of room for each family to be comfortable and have privacy as needed. We especially enjoyed the outdoor deck with the 5 (or 6) picnic tables. It was conveniently located to access nearby shopping and attractions yet private enough to feel like we were 'away from it all'.

A Magical Stay

What a delightful location! The house is old and charming. Well maintaned and a fun maze of hallways, rooms, bathrooms, etc. The outdoor space is fantastic for grilling and picnics and there's lots of side walks for all the chalk creations. Our only complaint, and it's our user error: There is not a nice beach or lake access for swimming nearby. But just perfect for our family vacation. Highly recommend.

South Dakota Getaway

We were a family of thirteen( including five kiddos (Under the age of 6) and this home met all our needs. Located at the end of the road, the property has spacious back yard and the home is designed with a separate suite upstairs with fully equipped kitchen sitting area and spacious bedroom and bathroom Downstairs offers theee bedrooms, two which are quite spacious. Living room accommodated us very well. This cabin is very close to the lake and there are areas to fish, which our family really enjoyed. There iare wildlife sightings of deer frequently and we even saw a blue heron! Also storks and an eagle too. My only suggestions include updating the kitchen pots and pans, as a few were in need of replacement and to add additional silverware and steak knives. Also, the stairway going to the upstairs are open on one side and not safe for little ones to navigate. Offering a baby gate along with adding some type of wall/railing would solve this problem. We were able to block entry to steps with furniture/pillows but kids still managed to sneak through at times. In summary, I would return to this place in a heartbeat and will be recommending to others who are contemplating a trip to this beautiful state! Thank you for making our trip such a wonderful one!

Perfect spot for Black Hills & Mt Rushmore!

Family gathered from several states to visit the South Dakota National Parks/Mt Rushmore/Crazy Horse. This location was fantastic - the house was clean and well laid out for family & kids. There is a playground just across the driveway and the lake is nearby. It was also a great home base for day trips out to the nearby parks (Black Hills, Mt Rushmore, Custard State Park, Crazy Horse), which we toured during the day. The check in process was smooth. The home was quiet and in good repair. It was a great spot!

Family get together!

All of our family except for one meet there for the weekend. Rapid City is about half way for everyone so we planned for a fun weekend. We all enjoyed our stay at the house. The deck was great in the evenings for barbecues and watching the deer. The guy that checked us in was just great and helpful. The kids enjoyed the playground and the paddle boat. We will be meeting there again.

Great family retreat

We were in town for my son’s college graduation. This house was perfect for our extended family of 10 with room to spare. The south side deck was amazing for our gathering. The grill worked amazing. We had plenty of room to spread out and plenty of bathrooms! Plus, added benefit was all the wildlife. I would highly recommend this lodge. It’s adorable!
