Perfect spot for Black Hills & Mt Rushmore!

Family gathered from several states to visit the South Dakota National Parks/Mt Rushmore/Crazy Horse. This location was fantastic - the house was clean and well laid out for family & kids. There is a playground just across the driveway and the lake is nearby. It was also a great home base for day trips out to the nearby parks (Black Hills, Mt Rushmore, Custard State Park, Crazy Horse), which we toured during the day. The check in process was smooth. The home was quiet and in good repair. It was a great spot!

Family get together!

All of our family except for one meet there for the weekend. Rapid City is about half way for everyone so we planned for a fun weekend. We all enjoyed our stay at the house. The deck was great in the evenings for barbecues and watching the deer. The guy that checked us in was just great and helpful. The kids enjoyed the playground and the paddle boat. We will be meeting there again.

South Dakota Getaway

We were a family of thirteen( including five kiddos (Under the age of 6) and this home met all our needs. Located at the end of the road, the property has spacious back yard and the home is designed with a separate suite upstairs with fully equipped kitchen sitting area and spacious bedroom and bathroom Downstairs offers theee bedrooms, two which are quite spacious. Living room accommodated us very well. This cabin is very close to the lake and there are areas to fish, which our family really enjoyed. There iare wildlife sightings of deer frequently and we even saw a blue heron! Also storks and an eagle too. My only suggestions include updating the kitchen pots and pans, as a few were in need of replacement and to add additional silverware and steak knives. Also, the stairway going to the upstairs are open on one side and not safe for little ones to navigate. Offering a baby gate along with adding some type of wall/railing would solve this problem. We were able to block entry to steps with furniture/pillows but kids still managed to sneak through at times. In summary, I would return to this place in a heartbeat and will be recommending to others who are contemplating a trip to this beautiful state! Thank you for making our trip such a wonderful one!

Great family retreat

We were in town for my son’s college graduation. This house was perfect for our extended family of 10 with room to spare. The south side deck was amazing for our gathering. The grill worked amazing. We had plenty of room to spread out and plenty of bathrooms! Plus, added benefit was all the wildlife. I would highly recommend this lodge. It’s adorable!

Beautiful Space

The space was gorgeous. There were plenty of places to sleep and hang out. We had issues finding the place on GPS and so did others when we received deliveries to the address. Overall it was great. We were there for a bike event, and a few bikes staying in other places broke down so on the day we left those people had their bikes taken back and rode home with me. That morning I was accused of having 20 people staying there the whole time which was not true and left a sour taste in my mouth on an already stressful day.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Neslon

Host profile image
We have lived within 200 yards of Deer Glen Lodge since 1992. We loved the location then and we continue to love it now. We raised both our children here and one continues to work in the family business, Lake Park Campground and Cottages.

Why they chose this property

When Deer Glen Lodge became available in 2001 we jumped at the chance. The Lodge sets next to our home and family business, Lake Park Campground and Cottages. It has been a perfect fit.

What makes this property unique

Deer Glen Lodge gets its name from the many deer that make the surrounding meadow and hillside their home. Many visitors get to see a variety of wildlife at Deer Glen.
