Rich in natural beauty, Sylvan Lake Lodge is the crown jewel of Custer State Park. In a spot suggested by Frank Lloyd Wright, the hotel and cabins sit in a hillside forest of pine and spruce, in harmony with the rugged landscape. All overlook the sloping hills and the beauty of Sylvan Lake. The lodge’s double-peaked wooden ceiling, hardwood floors and stone fireplace lend an air of luxury that complements the view. Make reservations on the stone veranda for breathtaking views while dining.
