We lucked into this place and found the staff very accommodating and the food excellent. The location is in the center of an exceptionally beautiful park full of exceptional scenery and a lot of animals. We experienced Buffalo on the grounds. Our room was attached to the lodge and very convenient to the restaurant. The only problem we had, and... More

My fiancée and I spent a night at the SGL in one of the small cabins...the cabins have certainly seen better days...some paint falling off the doors and some old decor, but for a cabin, hard to say it was bad. I didn't have much trouble sleeping, although it was easy to hear other cabin occupants having a party. You're... More

so glad we stayed here rather than in town in a typical hotel. Very nice. It would be like going to Branson and not staying at Big Cedar but on the strip if we had stayed in Rapid City.We stayed at Creekside because rooms were bigger. If staying as a couple the historic rooms are pretty. We saw lots of... More

We spent a couple of nights in the Black Hills at some of the cabins at the State Game Lodge and loved our experience. There was a burning ban at the time of our visit which did not allow us to have a campfire but we were so tired from our activities that it did not bother us that much.... More

We will be back again to your beautiful lodge and cabins. We were a large group that enjoyed how you made us feel...like true guests! You just don't get that at rental cabins. The reunion cabin was amazing! Running stream, huge deck, three story rock fire place with a buffalo mount and a giant kitchen with plenty of space for... More

We started out in one of their small cabins right across from the Game Lodge, but when we had problems with the plumbing, they moved all twelve of us out of our hotel rooms and the cabin into the huge, gorgeous Reunion Cabin. Now that cabin is INCREDIBLE. What a great trip! The Reunion Cabin has 4 master suites on... More

This past December, by wife and some of my children and grandchildren spent six nights at the Game Keeper's Cabin in the State Game resort area of Custer State Park. The cabin is older (build in the 30's) and some of the repairs/maintenance is a bit amateurish. nonetheless, it was a great place for us. The cabin has a washer... More

Stayed 1 night in a cabin, but froze, so they moved us into a historic room in the lodge. We were right at the top of the stairs either room 35 or 39- I can't remember the #. The rooms are smaller than the cabins, but very unique and beautiful. When we were there, they left all the available rooms... More

One night in the Eisenhower room was plenty. Sound from the adjoining Coolidge room is like the people are in the same room. Staff granted our request to move to a hotel room so we wouldn't have to listen to the newlyweds in the Coolidge room celebrate their marriage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will likely return, but only... More
