Great time with old friends

We are a group of four couples, who get together once a year for a weeks vacation. This year we chose Custer and the South Dakota Black Hills area. The cabin was great nice and roomy had lots of anemones and the beds were very comfortable. We felt like we were right at home and enjoyed Ourselves immensely

Lovely home in a great location! We had a great time staying at Evergreen Lodge with our extended family. There was plenty of room inside & out for the kids (8 of them!) to play. Everything is as described and pictured in the listing. The location was perfect for driving to all the sites and close to Custer for getting take-out and groceries. The gas grill and firepit were clean and in good working order. There is a second refrigerator in the detached garage which was very useful but it would be handier if it was in the basement. We were not able to put a vehicle in the garage but it wasn't stormy so it wasn't a concern.We visited/toured Wind and Jewel caves, Mt Rushmore, Deadwood, Legion and Sylvan Lakes, the Wildlife loop & Buffalo Center, Blue Bell Horseback riding, and the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs. The Mammoth Site was surprisingly well worth the time and the kids loved doing the Dig! Everything was beautiful and interesting and was an easy drive from the Lodge.I would highly recommend staying at the Evergreen Lodge for your Black Hills vacation!

Evergreen Lodge

This property is centrally located to the central and southern Black Hills which was excellent for our stay. The house was as advertised and was very comfortable for our eight adults and three children. Everything we needed was provided for us including the extra refrigerator in the garage. There was ample parking on site and we enjoyed sitting around the gas fire pit. The only drawback was the gravel road leading to the house. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

Pre-Wedding Stay

Our son got married at Sylvan Lake on 8.18.2023 and we wanted a place to hang out and have some fun in the area before the wedding. This cabin was in a great location (close enough but with a secluded feel), gave us plenty of space for the 8 adults we had (family and friends), and fun items to keep everyone busy (bags, fire pit, nice large table for nightly card games). The host, Diane, was very responsive and accommodating - helped make our wedding trip perfect! Would definitely recommend.

The location was perfect as it was close to almost everything we wanted to show our friends who had never been to the Black Hills. The house was beautiful and was so spacious. It was nice to have such a large space to accommodate all of us( we had 10) and we could have fit a whole other family . There was not a thing we didn’t like and would and are planning to go back and stay here again. Price was reasonable and host was extremely easy to work with and get ahold of. 5 star property for sure!

We recently stayed at the Evergreen Lodge. We were celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We needed a lot of room.and space for everyone and this place didn't disappoint. The home was beautiful and the property was great. We had a nice view. It was close to so many places. Diane was fabulous and she really went out of her way to make sure our stay was great.

Our 40th wedding anniversary family vacation

The location was good, communication with host was great, just a few minor issues with plumbing, electrical work, and refrigerator(no water or ice maker working), and location of thermostat downstairs so much warmer upstairs so had to use fans to keep upstairs cool. The garage wasn’t usable. I would recommend this vrbo to anyone!! Other amenities were great!!

Great stay in Custer!

This property is unique in respect to having three separate “hang out” areas - basically 3 living rooms with The Best couches! Add in 4 bathrooms and ample bedrooms - it’s a very nice space for a larger group. The kitchen was too small for us, but anytime besides the winter that would be remedied by the outside dining area. The host was especially easy to communicate with! Highly recommend!

Black Hills Vacation

My husband and I and 4 other couples rented Evergreen Lodge for a week while visiting the Black Hills. The location was perfect for everywhere we wanted to go and to get back to at the end of the day. It was only 2 miles from the town of Custer. The property is a absolutely beautiful. The house is not new but it was such a pleasant experience. We spent every evening around the large dining room table because the home was so cozy. The owner/manager Diane was easily accessible by email and answered all my questions and was so accommodating. I would highly recommend this beautiful lodging for a large group when traveling to the Black Hills.
