The lodge had everything we needed and more! The floor plan was perfect for two families and we appreciated the Otha I stink and cleanliness throughout. It was also a great location for everything we wanted to see and do!

Best place in the Hills
We loved our stay here. Very comfortable cabin. Great family get away. Our kids loved the downstairs space and had a blast playing foosball, monopoly and other games. Very conveniently located near Deadwood and Sturgis.

Hi Randy, thank you for staying with us at Wannabee Moose Lodge. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We were unaware that the DVD player was missing, we apologize about that, and we will make sure to get that replaced!
We had a great time at the cabin, it was spacious and the whole place had tons of things to accommodate us. The only thing we had trouble with was running the TV to find a football game we wanted to watch. It was great weekend spending time with family!

We had a group of 7 for a side by side trip. It was a great location to get to the trails. Adequate room for our 2 trucks and trailers. Would have been nice to be able to use the garage in case it rained, but we got lucky and it didn’t rain much. We did have an issue with the upstairs shower but texted them right away and they were very prompt and polite in the response and maintenance came out right away. Which is awesome. Kitchen was stocked with everything you could need and beds were comfortable. The only downside is I wish the upstairs furniture was more functional for a big group, also the deck furniture. If we would have had 12 it would have been difficult to all hang out together. Even at 7 it was kind of awkward. But overall it give it two thumbs up. Highly recommend if you are looking for something cozy and convenient. Or if you are looking for an area if you want some separation within your group, such as you have kids that want their own space!

Cass, thank you for staying with us at Wannabee Moose Lodge! We are so glad you had a great stay. Thank you for your feedback on the furniture, we will look into this. Come back again, you were great guest!
The cabin and yhe location were great. When we arrived we noticed we had no hot water, contacted property manager and she sent someone out the next day while we gone. Came back that evening and hot water worked for about half of the group to get warm showers. Next morning however only a couple got warm showers the rest were cold. We just figured that it was the amount of people trying to shower was the problem. Came back that night and the water was 40 degrees at best. Contacted manager again and she sent someone out again as we were leaving the property and said yhe heater was clogged again and the heater would not work. Hope to hear from the manager soon.
Arrived about an hour early in 95 degree heat, could not get in when the place was ready until exact checkin time.

Hi Mark, thank you for staying with us at Wannabee Moose Lodge! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We apologize about the arrival time, we are lenient on it sometimes, but this time of year we have several cabins that are back to back rentals and we need to be able to give the cleaner the maximum amount of time available for cleaning.
Just would have liked to use the garage. Nice area.
