Distinctive Accommodations
6 days/5 nights
Night 1: Deadwood Mountain Grand
This modern boutique hotel, situated on a hill overlooking historic Deadwood, offers comfort in a rustic interior. Relax in the hotel's pool or hot tub, or enjoy a book by the stone fireplace, which stands two-stories tall.
Nights 2 to 4: Sylvan Lake Lodge
Rich in history and natural beauty, Sylvan Lake Lodge holds the designation of Custer State Park's "crown jewel". This property features beautifully renovated lodge rooms and cabins, a lounge, a restaurant and an outdoor veranda which offers breathtaking views. The location of Sylvan Lake Lodge can't be beat, thanks to the design inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. When the original lakeshore resort burned down in 1935, Wright suggested the current location amidst a forest of pine and spruce trees.
