We had a fantastic one week stay at this property. The lodge is very cozy and peaceful and is as described in the listing. We utilized the fireplace every night as the weather was a bit chilly and it made for a great atmosphere. The lodge is in a perfect setting and was central to all of our activities. Having the Sugar Shack nearby was great as well. Dealing with Mike is a pleasure and everything went smoothly. We had an outstanding time at this property.

We had a wonderful stay at Deer Meadow Lodge! The cabin was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. It fit our family of six perfectly and had plenty of space for everyone. We especially loved the outdoor décor throughout the house—it really added to the cozy Black Hills feel. The setting was beautiful and peaceful, and it was a great place to relax after a day of exploring. The host made everything easy and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again!

This cabin was great! It was a perfect fit for our family of all ages. Kitchen arrangement made it easy to have additional guests over for games and food. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the “loft room”was perfect to have a young child and a toddler sleep close by. The hot tub was a nice amenity for all! It was an overall great place to spend the holidays.
