    It's a small place but the selection and service is pretty good. The prices aren't bad either. Nothing like a mom and pop shop m

    I'd love this place if I was still drinking and didn't have a newborn in tow…read more Room smelled like cigarettes. Condo 9. Missing smoke detectors. Lamps didn't work, but no big deal. What pisses a guy off is a coffee pot that didn't work either! Haha This place just didn't work for our little family, but in my party days I would have loved the bar and happenin' atmosphere. It would make up for the rip off prices and gross room. I just wanted other families with babies to know this; my wife was pissed! These condos are NOT nice. We booked lat minute on the 4th of July with nowhere to stay in the area. I love this place for what it is. White trash 5 start joint, I say that proud of my own white trashiness.

    Oh Pickerel Lake Lodge! Where to begin. I've been coming here since a little girl and used to…read moreabsolutely LOVE the nights when we'd hop in the boat and head down to the Lodge for dinner! They serve up great Midwest fare - cheese curds, frybread, steak, burgers, etc. As the only restaurant on Pickerel Lake, this is where we came when our parents didn't feel like cooking supper. Fast forward 15 years and I (along with every child who grew up coming to the lake) could not WAIT until my 21st birthday so that I could officially discover what the Lodge nightlife had to offer. Welp, on weekends, this place is poppin' with locals and visitors alike. They have fun music, a full bar, and great camaraderie. It is definitely all that you want and more when heading to a divey lake bar. Their outside patio has a lovely view of the lake from the south end. Happy hour views? Check! During the weekdays, though, it is pretty quiet! They also have hotel rooms and cabins for rent. This is AMAZING since there really aren't many other rentals on the Pickerel Lake. The hotel and cabins have lake access where you can swim, drop your boat, etc. There are also fire pits on the beach to roast some s'mores. If you want a fun lake getaway and don't have a cabin on this lake, The Lodge is a great place to stay! Nothing super fancy, but all that you need to have a fun week at the lake with loved ones. Last but certainly not least, this is where everyone comes to get gas for their boats, jet skis, etc. All in all, you gotta love the Lodge!

    My daughter and I had a nice, low key, weekend away here last October…read more Charming place, friendly staff, full bar and restaurant on site. Plenty of parking. Our light started to flicker in the middle of the night which added a little something to the experience but we chalked it up to the lamps or bulbs. Pretty sure they were off when we went to sleep. ‍

    A nice place to stay in Northeast South Dakota. This site was the former home to the South Dakota…read moreSchool for the Blind in the 1960s, and has had major renovation done to being it back to life. A nice pond is adjacent to the hotel and campground. The pond is stocked with trout. Also has a beach to swim from. We had one of the larger rooms during our stay for a wedding, and it have ample room for our pack and play for the little one. Our room had a walk-in shower with seat. A/c worked great, and we needed it that warm weekend. Laundry next door is standard laundromat style, only $1 to wash and $1 to dry. Standard indoor Racketball ball court below the laundromat. Ate at the bar also on the property, and the food was great. Jumbo stuffed tater tots were a good way to start the meal. Across the street from the hotel is a city park, with many modern pieces of playground equipment. Only improvement would be to update the website to include the numerous amenities so guests can plan better ahead for their stay.
