Book a hotel near Stockade Lake, Custer

"Welcoming and warm with great views and location!"

"The lodge fit our needs perfectly, and we had a great stay. The kids had fun with all the games on the lower floor. The hot tub was amazing to enjoy in the evening after hiking. The kitchen was well-equipped. The location was ideal in the Black Hills, allowing for easy enjoyment of the area. "

"Clean and comfortable king-size bed. Perfect weather for a fire in the firepit! "

"The Pondside Lodge was a splendid place to stay for our trip to South Dakota! The lodge is beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. The living room picture window looks out over the pond and the Needles are clearly visible in the distance. It is a very relaxing location - quiet and lovely. We saw turkeys and deer every day going to and from the lodge. The lodge is a short drive to the Custer Wildlife Loop (spectacular!), the Needles Highway (amazing!), and Sylvan Lake (stunning!). Custer, just a few miles up the road, offers many delicious options for dinner, and the kitchen in the lodge is well-equipped if you want to eat in. I recommend the Pondside Lodge wholeheartedly for a restful vacation!"

"Very clean property! Accurate description of property, in a great location. Would stay here again! "

"This cabin is clean and the staff were very nice. Not really anything big to complain about. Some helpful things to know when making your decision to stay here would be that cabin 1 is very close to the road. While having a fire in the evening we would have to stop mid conversation due to the road noise. I think you would avoid this with the other cabins. The coffee pot is a keurig, I wish I knew this before we arrived, I would have brought my reusable keurig cup along with my coffee (I just brought coffee). They do provide K-cups, so no need to bring coffee if you don't want to. The cabin could use a lamp or two, if one person wants to stay awake and read, there is no lighting for this, it's either all lights on or off. I think it would also be beneficial to have a mirror outside of the bathroom, if you are trying to get ready for the day and someone is in the bathroom you just have to wait. The main air conditioning unit is in the living area so the bedroom gets warm if you do not leave the bedroom door open while sleeping. This would probably not be an issue in early/late season as you could open the windows, but then there might be road noise. These are minor inconveniences, the overall stay was great. My daughter loved the games in the cabin and the location is 3 miles from the main street in Custer. "
