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!
Lovely house in a very convenient location. Close to Custer National Park and the Wildlife Loop. Great restaurants in town. Would definitely recommend this home.
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.
The property was perfect for our stay. We had 9 people for an UTV riding trip. Location to attractions was perfect. Cabin was clean and well stocked everything worked.
Loved our stay at the Evergreen Lodge! The location made for a perfect week and the cabin was nice and roomy. We enjoyed the wildlife around;every morning we saw deer right in front. Communication with the host was excellent & her recommendations of places to visit did not disappoint. Great vacation spot!
The property is very nice and well stocked.
The location is really great for exploring the Black Hills, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore & Crazy Horse.
Highly recommend this property
Hi
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!
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.
This is a great property. We have used twice and will again. Plenty of trailer room if going riding. Had 3 36 footers there and still room. Lots of room on the multiple decks. Handy location .
Our family got together in the Black Hills and found this property to be well situated to the many activities and sites we wanted to see. It had the rooms and amenities we needed to facilitate our stay. The owner was also very responsive to any requests we had during our stay.
We all loved this house. The layout made it easy for our large group to sprawl when needed. The location was perfect for all of the things we wanted to see. I would highly recommend it.
Great property and great owner. Everyone loved the Evergreen Lodge. Diane was very accommodating and kept us informed of the weather issues that we’re heading our way. It was a very enjoyable stay in spite of the snow storms.
The house was the perfect size to accommodate our family and friends. It is clean, well maintained, and only minutes away from Custer SD. It had everything we needed to enjoy our Side x Side trip. I would recommend this property.
We had 9 adults with 2 pickups and trailers stay for a week if sxs trail riding. Parking was tight but absolutely doable. Having the garage fridge and the garage was awesome! Plenty of decks and lounging areas so staying out of the wind was no issue! House was well supplied and very clean! We will definitely be staying again!
