Great mountain retreat!

We absolutely loved staying in this cozy, uniquely decorated mountain home! Clearly the owners spent many, many hours decorating it with intriguing hunting/country/mountain decor. Beds were cozy, loved the hot tub in the evening, nice and quiet area for walks. And the location was terrific for all our day adventures we took. Thank you!

Relaxing stay

Great place to stay! Nice to have a comfortable place to come back to after a long day out sightseeing. Beautiful walks in the mornings and evenings and the hot tub was a huge bonus. Conveniently close to Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse and an awesome side by side rental place.Would 100% stay here again!

Great stay at a beautiful lodge!

Deer Meadow Lodge was perfect. It’s nestled in the Black Hills with plenty of space inside and out. The furniture and decor was everything I had hoped for in a rustic cabin. We are from a large city so getting out in nature was such a joy for our family. Mr. Dressler was very attentive. He provided detailed driving instructions, including a map. He checked in to make sure our stay was what we expected. We would definitely book here again.

A tranquil country setting

This is an amazing place to stay! The cabin is just like you see in the pictures with wonderful decor which gives it a warm charming feeling. The deer surround the property in the morning and the evening. While sitting eating breakfast you are able to watch the deer right outside the window. Sit on porch in evening and the deer walk right into the yard. The only noises you hear are birds chirping and the hot tub if used. This place is kind of centered between Badlands, Devils Rock, and Mount Rushmore. A fantastic scenic drive to all places. If you are wanting a secluded quite peaceful place to rest and relax…this is the place to book! We will be back again! Thank you

A wonderful week!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Deer Meadow! The home had everything a family would need to have an outstanding and memorable time. We also were close to South Dakota special areas including Deadwood, Lead, Spearfish Canyon, Custer Park, Rapid City. We enjoyed it all! We rode horses at Andy's in Lead; We enjoyed wine at Belle Jolie vineyard in Sturgis, Filet mignon at Alpine Inn in Hill City and so much more! We had daily visits from deer - and we had a snow day. The beautiful fireplace was put to good use!

Great secluded cabin !

We had a great time at the cabin. The location felt secluded, yet close to some amazing hikes. The cabin was very clean, well equipped, and the hot tub was so nice after a long day hiking. There’s something really peaceful about drinking morning coffee and watching deer all around! I would definitely stay here again, and would happily recommend this cabin to others.

Good location for trail riding

Great location and place to stay for atv trail riding. Hot tub was nice but difficult to get in and out of. Maybe just rotating the tub so the steps go in at a better place. There was no place to step in that was flat so I had to sit on the ledge then lower yourself in. The seating area and kitchen was great for groups. The whole place could use a deep cleaning ( cob webs and dust on pictures and fixtures) but overall cleanliness was good. Very nice place with lots of interesting details to explore. Would stay again!
