About this property

Driftwood Lodge - Lake Life Paradise ☀️🏖️⛵️

Driftwood Lodge is a modern lake cabin off the banks of the Missouri River with floor to ceiling scenic views of Prairie Dog Bay!

This family owned vacation rental is located near the Ft. Randall Dam in the South Dakota State Park/North Point Rec Area and is in walking distance of 3 boat ramps, paved bike/running trails and beach access. Ideal location for outdoor adventures including hunting, fishing, boating, kayaking, atv riding, bike riding, trail running and wildlife viewing. Deer and turkey are daily visitors!

Driftwood Lodge is a spacious lake home that has 4 bedrooms, 2 bath, and a fully stocked kitchen that can accommodate up to 12 guests. There are 8 beds (includes 2 roll-aways) and a pack’n play for little ones. Bedrooms are all conveniently centrally located off the main living room area next to the kitchen. This makes it perfect for family entertainment especially with little kids. The home has a wrap around deck on the second floor so guests have walk out access from 3 out of the 4 bedrooms with scenic views of the Missouri River and surrounding landscape.

The property also has two large overhead commercial doors for the garage space that can easily accommodate several vehicles/boats/atvs for inside storage which is the perfect setup for hunting and fishing. Guests can pull their boat inside at night with no need to cover and several outlets available for charging boat batteries at night for use the next day.

The garage space also doubles as an entertainment center / family rec room with a shuffleboard, foosball, arcade games, and brand new cedar bar w/ large smart tv in the garage! Guests must be able to climb stairs to get to main floor level. The cabin is elevated to provide beautiful scenic views of the river.
