This was our 4th year at the Lodge and everything was great as usual. I contacted Jerry a couple times during our stay with some minor issues and he was more than accommodating. They added new beds and mattresses this year, a new refrigerator in the game room and an additional outdoor grill which was nice. We’ll be booking again for next year.

This was a perfect house for our large group of friends! Plenty of rooms for everyone and the garage/bar was a great place to hang out! Also, the trolley stop in the parking lot was a great feature!

Everything was as advertised. The grill and blackstone made meals and cleanup simple and easy. Garage/Gathering area was perfect to keep most activity away from main sleeping areas. We enjoyed our stay and recommend for anyone in the deadwood area.
