Great location, outdoor space perfect for family entertaining, enjoyed cornhole game, liked all the towels, welcome coffee, accessibility of management, etc.
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.
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'.
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!
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!
Our families loved this house. I was staying at Chapel in the Hills and led a retreat with families. The close proximity and well maintained property was perfect.

Great place to stay
Very quiet, good location. Fun to watch deer. Plenty of room, nice and clean. We were on the go all day long, would have liked to stay and enjoy the lake and park.
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.
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.
The property was excellent, a great hub for our hiking adventures into the Badlands and Black Hills. It met all of our needs and provided spacious room for our group.
Loved the cabin plenty of room for 3 couples, nice campground, we had deer come to front door! Lots of picnic tables on deck,grill, plenty of room for large group.
Awesome lodge. Spacious - could spend time with each other, or time alone all in the same lodge. 3 full baths make this a vacation dream with people doing all kinds of activities and always on the go. Clean. All ammentities to cook and grill. Recommend to all
When we checked into the property the gentleman at the desk was very friendly was amazing at giving Information about places to go and things to see. The owner Stopped by the cabin to make sure everything was Ok. very very friendly. We had 10 adults and 6 kids and there was not one of us that had any complaints at all. Will definitely be our go to location for future family get togethers... would give 5 stars above the top rating!!!
We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband's birthday there.
House was very clean and spacious. Deer were seen many times which my grandchildren loved. Scott and staff were very nice and only a phone call away if we needed anything.
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!
