10/10 Exceptional

Superb location. The dining room was not good and very expensive. The dining room and bar closed at 8 pm which is ridiculous. The room had no headboards and only one nightstand between the beds. No reading lights either. For a place that charges a premium amount for everything they didn’t come through. That said it’s a beautiful area and the hiking trails are great.

The living room was charming with an outdoor motif and the dining room had large windows with magnificent views.

8/10 Very good

I liked that this felt nostalgic staying at a state lodge versus a chain. And the proximity to Sylvan Lake and Custer State Park couldn't be beat! The onsite restaurant and bar we very nice. (The S'More martini was especially good!) My wife prefers a bathroom with more counter space, but if that is worst you can say about a property like this, you're living pretty good. (The shower did take a little time to warm up, but once it did it was wonderful and stayed hot the entire time.)
