Best value in USA and Canada for a rustic lodge and cabins. Fantastic lodge, bar and restaurant with fantastic menu. Beautiful cabins. Not a luxury experience, but great peace, comfort, and surrounds. If it weren't so far away would go back every year. Most affordable quality vacay you are going to find.
The room was very clean and comfortable and the location was a perfect base camp for hiking and exploring Custer State Park, Mt Rushmore, Wind Cave and Crazy Horse. Bonus was the great water pressure for the shower! The queen room had a refrigerator and tv and AC. We opened the windows for fresh air and had great sleeping weather during our stay.
Our server at the dining room, Ingrid, was spectacular. She was very friendly, competent, responsive and interested in making our mealtime enjoyable. She was the best thing about our stay

Sylvan Lake Lodge offers a charming getaway in the heart of the Black Hills. The staff is friendly and helpful, guiding visitors through the area. While the location is unbeatable, the accommodations can be hit-or-miss, with some rooms being cramped and others more comfortable. The on-site restaurant serves good food, but reservations are essential due to limited staffing. Guests should be aware of limited wireless access and potential maintenance issues, as the lodge is operated by state employees within a state park. Visitors have enjoyed meals at the restaurant, praising the excellent food and friendly service. The restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, with some guests raving about scrambled eggs, buffalo tips, and elk dishes, which are described as delicious. The restaurant's staff, including servers like Saul and P, are noted for their professionalism and friendliness. Its convenient location near hiking trailheads and Sylvan Lake makes it a popular choice for those exploring Custer State Park.
