About this property

3 miles from Platte Creek boat dock & public hunting!

Overlooking the Missouri River and majestic Riverhills, Cherry Creek Lodge is located just three miles from the Platte Creek boat dock and Gray State Public Shooting Area. Fishing, boating, beach-front nearby, hiking, hunting, and so much to explore, this home-away-from-home will not disappoint.

Cherry Creek Lodge is a newly remodeled, three-bedroom, two-bathroom log cabin that has numerous modern upgrades you may not expect with country living. A secluded driveway will lead you to the oversized two-car garage, cement pad with additional parking for boats or trailers.

Once inside, the main level provides an open concept design to relax and entertain. Enjoy the stunning sunsets from the deck while you grill out or cozy up next to the stone fireplace with a good book you downloaded using our high speed WIFI. During your stay, you will be delighted by the attention given to every detail - from the touchscreen mirror in the bathroom, to the hand-scraped subway tile, and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. The large kitchen island seats up to four people comfortably while the dining table has enough space for up to six. At the end of the day, retreat into the master bedroom, unwind with a movie on the 42" HD TV and then enjoy a good night's sleep on a brand new pillow top mattress.

Your guests will enjoy their stay at Cherry Creek Lodge as well! You all can relax by the stacked stone gas fireplace and watch a movie on the 65" 4K UHD LED Roku Smart TV. If you'd rather unplug from it all, enjoy the indoor/outdoor living with walkout access to the lower level patio. A second bathroom is for the guests sleeping in the other two bedrooms, (two twin beds in one room and one queen in the other). They come fully furnished with 43" 4K UHD LED TV and ample closet space. Guests sleeping in the bedroom with the second queen bed can enjoy their own private walkout furnished with outdoor furniture and under deck Edison bulb lights.

Cherry Creek Lodge also welcomes dogs! As pet lovers ourselves, we take our four-legged family members on vacation too! That is why we provide a 5x5x6 kennel for your dog to stay outside/in garage at no additional charge. We appreciate you keeping your dogs out of the lodge. Some of our guests may have allergies so please keep the dogs outside where they have plenty of space to run and play.

LAYOUT:
The main level showcases the master bedroom (queen bed), bathroom, living room, kitchen, dining room, and deck.
The lower level boasts two bedrooms (one room with a queen bed with walkout patio and one room two twin beds), a living room with a trundle for two more additional guests to sleep, a bathroom, living room, and laundry room.

This was a great place to stay for 4 pheasant hunters. Detached garage was a great place to gather and keep the bird dogs in their kennels over night. View and fire pit was amazing. Great and timely communication with Sarah. Thank you Sarah !

First South Dakota Hunting Trip

Perfect for our family pheasant hunting trip. There were seven adult men and 4 dogs. The garage was perfect for the kennels, out of the weather and plenty warm enough. The couches were more than sufficient for sleeping accommodations as there are 4 beds. 2 bathrooms worked oerfect forn shower rotations and we never ran out of hot water. The views are wonderful and a short drive to a great steakhouse 20 minutes east. We loved it.

Dirty House

Upon arrival at the property, we observed that the house is well-represented in the provided pictures and is situated in a favorable location. However, we were disappointed to find a significant presence of deceased flies and other insects throughout the interior of the house. Despite the overall appeal of the property, the lack of cleanliness was a notable concern.

Great Stay

Our group of 5 friends stayed and we were very happy with the cabin and its location. We met for a weekend of fishing. The cabin is a short drive to the boat ramp. Very happy with the amenities, the cabin fit the needs of our group of five guests perfectly.

Great family weekend!

It was the perfect place to spend a staycation with family and celebrate my sons bday. The fire pit was beautiful and the cabin had everything we needed. We loved it. I think the cleaning person forgot about the floors, fridge, and upstairs tub. But other than that it was perfect!
