Ten family members spent 4 days at the Evergreen Lodge while attending wedding festivities at Sylvan Lake. The Lodge was beautifully appointed and very comfortable. It is conveniently located for visiting numerous tourist sites, including Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave to name a few. We would definitely stay there again.

We had an amazing time! The cabin and property is beautiful! We had everything we needed and there was more than enough room. There were 7 adults and 5 kids (ages 1-7), and I'm not sure who had a better time. The kids loved all the toys and the huge yard was big enough for a fun game of whiffle ball. The firepit was an added bonus for the adults! The property felt secluded and peaceful, yet close enough to town and many tourist attractions. Highly recommend! May have been the best family vacation yet!

Evergreen Lodge was everything as advertised. We loved the huge, open living area. The front deck was everyone’s favorite locale; late afternoon, evening shade with breezes and ready access to the house. The younger of us liked the play area on the ground floor. My grandson had his dream time with all the kids’ trucks in residence. We used the especially nice grill for several dinners. All 9 of easily fit around the dining table. Diane was super responsive to our 1 minor problem - it was fixed in great time. A super host!Any renters with toddlers will really love the 3 pack & plays and the 2 high chairs. Custer State Park is a couple miles away; Rushmore, Wind Cave & Jewell Cave are all within 30 minutes. One of great family weeks together.

Wonderful cabin in Custer!

My husband and I stayed at the cabin with our daughter, son-in-law, and three young grandchildren. The accommodations were great, the beds were comfortable, and the location was great to easily access many outdoor activities. The host was welcoming and responsive. We’d definitely stay there again!

Great Place & Location

Loved the location and the meadow in front of the house. Nice that town of Custer was only minutes away. Great central location for visiting different places in the area. We hiked Badlands, Cathedral Spires/Harney Peak Fire Lookout, Devils Tower and Sunday Gulch ... all spectacular.
