We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with most of our children and grandchildren. The lodge was an excellent place to do so. We had plenty of room, lots of bathrooms and the manager was helpful and fun. We recommend the lodge to everyone!

For all kinds of reasons it's hard to get together for holidays, or through out the year, so once a year we pick a weekend. We really enjoyed our time together as a family, and the lodge was big enough for all of us!! Comfortable, relaxing, fun, quiet, warm, just everything about it was great!! The manager Mathew was so friendly and easy to work with.

We had such an amazing time. The lodge was everything and more than we had hoped for. We each had our own rooms most with attached bathrooms. Matthew was such an awesome host. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and if we had any questions. The setting was so beautiful an peaceful - we came to relax, unwind and have fun -which is exactly what we got. It is close to so many attractions - there just wasn't enough hours in a day. If we end up in the Hills again for another girls getaway - we will most definitely book here again.

This was our 2023 Girls' Hiking Trip - 13 women stayed and with one or two blow-up mattresses, most had a queen bed to themselves. Glorious. 6.5 bathrooms eliminated waiting lines - even better. The roof top hot tub was packed each evening and the fact that management changes the water between visiting groups was much appreciated. Our host met us upon arrival to explain everything and was very quick to respond to the request for more kitchen towels. The only problem we encountered - Fall brings cool weather and, looking for warmth, some yellow jackets found their way in. Fly swatters and bug spray addressed the issue. We declined the offer to have the lodge "bombed" due to all the food we had in the area of concern (dining room). Our host agreed to delay that option until we departed. Mickelson Trail Lodge is so nicely located - no city lights to lessen the majesty fo the night skies, convenient to Hill City, Custer SP, Jewel Cave, Mt Rushmore and the trails that we enjoyed in conjunction with each of these locations. Internet is a bit sketchy, especially with so many guests at once, but one could usually locate a spot for reception. Overall - wonderful.

I can not brag enough about the management company. Matthew went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. He answered our every need and even gave us great sight seeing ideas. We would definitely consider booking this house again in the future.

The pros to this house is the location number one. Matthew is very accommodating, the hot tub and the pool were perfect temperatures always kept filled with water. The outside fireplace was something we all enjoyed. The cons for us were some of the shelving in the refrigerator is gone. The kitchen is very small and there was no space to put food for a week for 12 people. The hot tub lid was disintegrating, and overall cleanliness was just not what we have been used to, and when they say there is limited Wi-Fi and phone service believe it The only phone that worked in our party was a flip phone. What I think this place needs is just a little bit of TLC and again I cannot tell you how absolutely a beautiful location it is in.

Great location when staying in South Dakota. We had a group of 16 and there was plenty of space for all of us. The heated pool and hot tub were awesome, the kids loved it. Nice and close to Hill City. Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse less then 30 minutes away. Great place!! Friendly owners. Never had any issues.

We had a great family reunion at this lodge with ages ranging from 5 to 75. Rooms were comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. Matthew and his staff were attentive and their communication was great. The big surprise was the pool heated! That was such a nice addition for the cool nights. I highly recommend.

We had a wonderful week at the property. 13 total stayed and it was very comfortable - 6 adults and 7 kiddos. Would highly recommend! Laundry at the facility would have made it even better. Internet is spotty just an FYI. We appreciated being disconnected but if your needing to check in to work,school or anything it’s not a strong connection.

Great location - secluded but close enough to Hill City etc. Hot tub view was amazing. Pool is smaller than it looks, but it's heated and the kids enjoyed it. The house worked great for multiple families and kids of various ages. Would stay there again!

We’ve wanted to take our families on a Black Hills vacation together for a long time and this was the perfect place to do it! We had a family of 8 stay for the week and a family of 9 joined later in the week for a long weekend. We had plenty of space to gather and also places to get away when we needed quiet. The rooftop hot tub was a huge hit! Management was very attentive checking in just enough. Anything that came up was handled in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend!

Had my wedding reception here and the hosts could not have been more accommodating! My whole wedding party stayed at the property with us, and our friends and family rented the other cabins around the area. This was perfect for our stay! There’s other cabins in the area but you still have privacy, and you’re close to everything the hills have to offer. Would definitely stay again!

We had a large group (8 adults) and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms worked out perfectly for our group. The house was clean and well stocked with needed essentials (shampoo, bedding, hair dryer, kitchen supplies, etc). The house would have been perfect if there had been a washer and dryer.

There were 16 of us all together (9 adults & 7 kids 3-10). We really enjoyed our stay. It was close to a lot of the sights in the area and the kids really enjoyed the built in play house under the stairs! We would definitely consider returning here! The kids also liked the pool! Enjoyed watching the horses run by the house!

What a wonderful stay in a beautiful home and location. Matthew was great to work with and always checking in to see if we needed anything to make our stay more comfortable. There were 6 couples staying on the property very comfortably, and extended family came in for the birthday celebration. The Mickelson Trail was near by and great for hiking/biking. We enjoyed the pool and hot-tub as well. The large fireplace was great for family gatherings and delicious smoars.

We had a fantastic time at the Lodge. Twelve of us stayed for a reunion (our 45th) and it was a perfect location. We visited Crazy Horse, Custard Park, Mt. Rushmore and Devil's Tower. The property is spacious, very clean, and having so many bathrooms was great! There is a grocery store in Hill City and many wineries. We cooked/grilled out every nigh and ate our dinners outside by the pool.. It was fun watching the horses early in the morning run by. If you have a large group, this is the place for you. Checking in was a breeze and the management staff checked in with us frequently. Loved the hot tub! Enjoy your stay

Matthew was there when we needed and answered any and all of our questions. The lodge was perfect for our family of 10. The kids loved the pool and hot tub. We loved watching the horses each morning walk by the lodge. It was clean and beautiful. The location was perfect for seeing all the sights and perfect to experience the country!!
