Enjoy some time out from busy concrete cities at Sylvan Lake. This is an ideal place to fill your lungs with fresh air, unwind and simply delight in the scenery.

When you've spent a bit of time at this body of water in Custer, why not make your way to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, and Presidential Trail? They're close to Sylvan Lake and also a favorite with travelers.

Property was fair, room had a very dirty chair and the trash in our room had not been taken out when room was cleaned. It was fine for a 3 star stay, but not great.
