#24 Lakes Lodge - Charming 1 Room Suite

SteveRating, 5 stars21 months ago

We will stay there again. The unit was clean and had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. We enjoyed the restaurant across the street as they had a great menu with a variety of things. We played golf a couple of times and the golf course was in excellent shape. I would recommend staying here as you are only approx 30 min from Sioux Falls and close to Madison so there are plenty of things to do.

#17 Lakes Lodge - Charming 1 Room Suite

PatRating, 5 stars21 months ago

I cannot say enough about Lakes Lodge and the family that runs it. This is the second year we have held our family reunion there. The description of the rooms and location was perfect! The rooms are large, very clean and comfortable. The restaurant has excellent food with staff both there and in the bar that make you feel right at home. We were close to everything we needed to be, lake, Wentworth, Chester and Madison. Adam is our host and he is the nicest, most accommodating person I’ve ever worked with. He works very hard to make every part of your stay absolutely perfect. Thank you to this amazing family for creating such a wonderful place to be away from home. I’d give a 10 star if it available! P.S. we rented several rooms but I’ll just write this review for all of them 😊
