We were in town for a family reunion, and this was ideally located with so much more charm than a motel. We hosted a small picnic supper on the patio (with mgt’s preclearance) and it was lovely. Management was so pleasant and super responsive.

Quiet & Ideal location

The property was quaint, quiet, accommodated my entire family and was very nicely located (scenery and proximity). It was close to Rapid City, Mt Rushmore and the Black Hills and The Badlands, Sturgis and Wall.

I would definitely stay here again

I really can’t think of one complaint. We loved watching the deer right outside of the window. I will recommend this house to friends visiting the area. It was clean and well furnished. It was in a peaceful and quiet location on the resort. We liked that it wasn’t in a crowded area

Lake View Lodge

Lake View Lodge is a great location. We loved having the lake and stream practically outside the door. The location is very quite. There were deer that came on the property every evening. Outside of the bathrooms being very small the cabin was very comfortable. I highly recommend Lake View Lodge.

Great location for a family trip to the Hills

We had enough room for our family group of seven in the main house. The kitchen was perfect for breakfast and picnic lunch prep. We had more rainy days so we couldn’t use the outdoor grill and patio, but enjoyed the views of wildlife outdoors. This worked well for our few days of visiting attractions.

Black Hills haven

Lovely peaceful, large cabin with huge deck and view of Canyon Lake. A family of deer visited every morning. Great home base for day trips to Badlands, Custer SP, Wind Cave NP, Mt. Rushmore, Jewel Cave Monument, Deadwood, Spearfish and more. Efficient and friendly resort managers. Booking was a breeze. Highly recommend.

Central Location, Plenty of Space

We used this as a jumping off point for multiple day trips. Three bedrooms and extra space in the bunkhouse. Loft bedroom is accessed through ground floor bedroom so better suited to a family. Lovely view out floor to ceiling windows. Owners at campground very nice and easy to work with.

South Dakota Family Adventure

Lakeview Lodge was a wonderful home-base for our family trip to Rapid City. The campground was close and convenient to restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations but had the feel of being out in the woods. The best of both worlds! We would definitely recommend Lakeview Lodge.

My husband and I, our adult sons and their girlfriends had a blast! Beautiful property! The wildlife and deer were amazing to watch right on the property from the large outdoor deck!

Such a nice location with plenty of deck space for all. Layout of house works if you have younger people with you for the upstairs area. Bunk house was a nice bonus. Everything was clean.Really needs more silverware and better pillows. That was the only negative. Thanks for the stay!

Beautiful Lake View & Lots of Deer Visiting Daily

the location is great - very close to (1) Mount Rushmore; (2) Custer State Park & Wildlife Refuge; (3) Crazy Horse; (4) Downtown Rapid City w/Presidential Statues. The place was very clean. The kitchen was great & grill was clean (although we didn't get to use it due to eating timing on our part). Like other's mentioned it's an odd floorplan but it's very adaptable. So 1st floor of main house has 2 queen bedrooms with bathroom in between; in 2nd bedroom on the first floor there's spiral stairs up to a single bed in an alcove followed by a queen bed in a master bedroom with a bathroom.. The reason it's "4" bedrooms is because there's a "guest house" out the back door which has a little cabin with a sitting area, kitchen, and bedroom and bathroom. Overall everything is clean and readily available and good area not to mention close to everything you'd want to see in the area. I would rent this again - especially with my family - I have one married daughter so the little cabin would be perfect, while the others stay with me.

Location, Location, Location

There is so much to do and see within driving distance that we spend little time in the cabin and even less on the grounds. Place is comfortable but a bit unusual. I have never seen a spiral staircase leaving to the second level, best for the younger generation. My daughter liked the separate building for herself. There is lots of room overall to spread out. Mentioned in previous reviews, the place sleeps nine but has dishes for 4-6. We "borrowed" bowls from the separate building. We didn't know but enjoyed the fact that deer took up residence in the side yard. The deck had seating for 24, not sure why.
