Great stay at Evergreen Lodge

Evergreen Lodge was the perfect home base for our family of 12 to explore the Black Hills! It is spacious inside and out, with many places to both gather together and find space of your own. Furniture and beds were very comfortable. My grandchildren (ages 5 - 11)loved the big yard for games, soccer, and baseball! We all loved sitting around the gas firepit in the evening.The home is well equipped and we appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with necessary spices, condiments, and dishwasher pods. Diane, the owner, was very responsive when I had questions and she provided a great list of recommended things not to miss in the area when asked. We also appreciated that she let us know that her cleaners finished up early, so we were able to check in early. We all thought Evergreen Lodge was wonderful and highly recommend!Deb

Lovely home in a great location! We had a great time staying at Evergreen Lodge with our extended family. There was plenty of room inside & out for the kids (8 of them!) to play. Everything is as described and pictured in the listing. The location was perfect for driving to all the sites and close to Custer for getting take-out and groceries. The gas grill and firepit were clean and in good working order. There is a second refrigerator in the detached garage which was very useful but it would be handier if it was in the basement. We were not able to put a vehicle in the garage but it wasn't stormy so it wasn't a concern.We visited/toured Wind and Jewel caves, Mt Rushmore, Deadwood, Legion and Sylvan Lakes, the Wildlife loop & Buffalo Center, Blue Bell Horseback riding, and the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs. The Mammoth Site was surprisingly well worth the time and the kids loved doing the Dig! Everything was beautiful and interesting and was an easy drive from the Lodge.I would highly recommend staying at the Evergreen Lodge for your Black Hills vacation!

Evergreen Lodge

This property is centrally located to the central and southern Black Hills which was excellent for our stay. The house was as advertised and was very comfortable for our eight adults and three children. Everything we needed was provided for us including the extra refrigerator in the garage. There was ample parking on site and we enjoyed sitting around the gas fire pit. The only drawback was the gravel road leading to the house. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

Our 40th wedding anniversary family vacation

The location was good, communication with host was great, just a few minor issues with plumbing, electrical work, and refrigerator(no water or ice maker working), and location of thermostat downstairs so much warmer upstairs so had to use fans to keep upstairs cool. The garage wasn’t usable. I would recommend this vrbo to anyone!! Other amenities were great!!

Great stay! but not how I would design a house

There is one heater/thermostat and it is downstairs. Either the people downstairs freeze or the upstairs folks burn up. It was a small thermostat war between the folks upstairs and those downstairs. The four bathrooms are good but placed weird. Downstairs has two baths across from one bedroom and none at the other end by the other bedroom and bunkroom. Similar upstairs locations. Of the eleven of us, eight people used two baths and three used the other two. None of this affected the great time we had, simply an inconvenience.

Pre-Wedding Stay

Our son got married at Sylvan Lake on 8.18.2023 and we wanted a place to hang out and have some fun in the area before the wedding. This cabin was in a great location (close enough but with a secluded feel), gave us plenty of space for the 8 adults we had (family and friends), and fun items to keep everyone busy (bags, fire pit, nice large table for nightly card games). The host, Diane, was very responsive and accommodating - helped make our wedding trip perfect! Would definitely recommend.

We recently stayed at the Evergreen Lodge. We were celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We needed a lot of room.and space for everyone and this place didn't disappoint. The home was beautiful and the property was great. We had a nice view. It was close to so many places. Diane was fabulous and she really went out of her way to make sure our stay was great. I can't recommend this place enough. It was fabulous. We can't wait to go back.
