At elev. 6,145 feet, the location for the lodge was hand-selected by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the stone and timber building still boasts many of the original building elements.

You Don't Want to Miss This View

Stay at Sylvan Lake Lodge and see Custer State Park's crown jewel for yourself. Rich in history and natural beauty, the lodge is situated in a spot suggested by architect Frank Lloyd Wright—within a hillside forest of pine and spruce trees, in harmony with the beauty of the rugged landscape. This stone and timber lodge sits atop the sloping hills and the breathtaking beauty of Sylvan Lake.

The original Sylvan Lake Hotel was a stopping point for adventurers hoping to scale Black Elk Peak, the highest point in America east of the Rockies. Some of the finest trails lead from Sylvan Lake to the peak, including the challenging Harney Peak Trail and the more moderate Sunday Gulch Trail.

Rent watercrafts, go fishing, or take a swim at picturesque Sylvan Lake. It also serves as a stunning backdrop for wedding receptions and other festive events.

Hotel Rooms Grand Re-Opening in May of 2023

Due to an electrical fire that destroyed a full wing of rooms and left the original wing of rooms with smoke and water damage, Sylvan Lake Lodge's hotel rooms were closed for the 2022 season. Construction is underway, and we are excited to announce a scheduled re-open date in May of 2023! Reservations are being accepted and filling up quickly...snatch yours today.

Please note: Current pictures posted of all Lodge Rooms still reflect the old rooms. Your room will be even better.

Sylvan Restaurant, Front Desk, Great Room & Lounge and cabins were unaffected by the fire.
