Stellar location. Made dinner reservations then went to their lakeside location to rent a boat and paddle the lake. There was no one in the rental office and nobody inside could help us. We hiked around the lake and returned and after some time someone finally was able to help us. After our paddle we went to the lodge for dinner. The bar and area around the fireplace was very nice and many people were relaxing there. We were seated in the dining area and from the start it was clear that the servers moved at a very relaxed pace. Only one of the 3 we saw seemed to move with clear purpose. After our small plates arrived our server never checked back with us until our meals were obviously finished. The Buffalo Chislic we ordered was seemingly way overdone as the meat was very chewy and the breading/coating was very hard. I will say that the French fries served with it were the closest knock off of McDonalds French fries I’ve had. Dessert was tasty. We had high expectations of a historic lodge. The aesthetics were there but the food and service did not meet expectations.

Good location within Custer State Park. Convenient for hiking trailheads #9 and #4, as well as, around Sylvan Lake.
We enjoyed one dinner & one lunch at the on site restaurant. Both meals and service (thank you AG and P!!) were great.

Wedding venue was perfect. Mice were plentiful. Trapped 4 the first night. Were told they had no more traps. More mice the 2nd night. Finally housekeeping brought some as we were leaving. Another room we had never did get a trap. One employee was friendly and pleasant. Paint chipped off the walls with white patches. Furniture upholstery dusty. Will not return.
Noteworthy details: Must purchase a $20 park pass to attend an event.

Didn’t stay there but we ate dinner in the restaurant. The food was excellent and the staff was very courteous and friendly I would recommend the restaurant and probably the lodge accommodations

The location is great, the room is not as requested. Questions at the front desk were ignored or we were told to call the reservation number. No help. We asked to see the manager and were told we would receive a call from him. Nothing but crickets so far. The food and drinks are barely tolerable. They weren't cheap and the menu is the same at all the state lodges. Unfortunately, service has declined so much over the years I cannot recommend this location any more. Great location is all I can say positive today.
Walkability: Great walk around the lake though part of it is closed for updates. no path from the lodge though. Driving is the only way to get there.
This place is poorly managed. We booked suites 4 months ago. And when we got here, they stuck us in far crappier rooms without explanation and wouldn’t move us. Their double occupancy rooms are so small, I think prison cells are bigger. Their manager couldn’t care less. And the workers are just as apathetic. The food in the lodge was barely edible. This place was so much better in years past. This place needs a complete staff overhaul or some hospitality training to say the least.

Sylvan lake is always a highlight of our trip to the hills. We rented a few kayaks, hiked around the lake, and enjoyed the beach.
Nearby activities: They have kayaks and canoes for rent.
