### Recent Reviews
- **Holley**: "This place felt like home and my whole family was sad to leave. I would definitely book again. We had lots of space both inside and out. Super clean. My only complaint is the propane tanks were not filled and ready for use." (10/5)
- **Kayla**: "We really enjoyed The Lookout Lodge for our South Dakota vacation hub. The location was very peaceful, while just blocks from the Main Street. We saw deer every morning. We cooked most breakfasts and dinners. The kitchen was well equipped." (10/5)
- **Charles**: "We enjoyed our stay at the house and especially liked the view and the secluded location right near town. The location in Custer was great for exploring the Black Hills and Custer State Park. We spent early morning hours watching deer in the yard and late afternoons with drinks on the deck. The 5 adults in our party had plenty of room to gather and to spread out. Check in and check out went very smoothly." (10/5)
