Best of the Best
This place was absolutely the best--we spent three nights there and wished we had spent a week. Very clean and furnished like new! It was clear that this place was detailed to a high degree. We stayed at five different VRBOs on our trip and this place was by far the best!

Pretty good, but some negatives
This house is in a good location by a lake and park with places to walk. It's convenient to the Black Hills. The house has a long, narrow living room with large pieces of furniture. The cramped kitchen is poorly laid out, and it's hard for more than one person at a time to be in the kitchen. There was not enough flatware to last one day, and we kept hand washing spoons and forks. There were plenty of cooking pots. The dining room table was too small; it barely seated 6 people. The AC worked well. Our downstairs bed was very soft and very high (thick mattress). The showerhead was good but it was placed low, causing difficulties for my tall spouse. There seemed to be plenty of hot water. We encountered several different bugs in the house; pest control treatment would be helpful. If we stayed in the area again, I would look for a different house.

Convenient location
This property is in a convenient location. Close to stores restaurants and attractions but yet still felt outside the city. We had deer visit every night. It is spacious for families or even multiple families. It has all the basics but no extras as some rentals do (basic spices, ice chests etc.)

Great Family Getaway
Look no further if you want a quaint and relaxing cottage to stay in. This property at Lake Park Campground and Cottages was wonderful. It fits all the needs for a large group or family. We were a family of 5 but it easily could fit 6 or 7. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you need as well as the bathrooms and bedrooms. There are outside sitting areas in both the front and backyard. As well as plenty of places to walk around the campsite. My children loved that they basically had the upstairs all to themselves. The owners are the most sweetest and kindest people I have ever met. They are very loving, accommodating, helpful, and personable. I highly recommend Lake Park Cottages for your traveling needs.

Cougar Lodge
Cougar Lodge was perfect for us. My husband and I with our two married daughters and their husbands, and our other daughter all had a bedroom and with 3 restrooms we had plenty of restrooms. The location was great and allowed us to be about an hour plus or minus from Devil’s Tower, Deadwood, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse Memorial, Jewel Cave, Wind Cave, Badlands National Park, in addition to miniature golf and Bear Country nearby. Rapid City has easy access to groceries, gas, food and tourist attractions. Cougar Lodge was clean and had what we needed. Management was easy to work with. A gas grill is available on the deck. The only small negative was that the upstairs section only has two vents for AC and they aren’t in the bedrooms. The last day the temps got up to 80 and the upstairs bedrooms were pretty warm that night. They do provide a box fan for each bedroom. Neighborhood is nice and there is a walking trail nearby. We would stay again.

Overall decent stay
It was a decent stay. I liked that it was off a main road, but not at all noisy. The house and property were nice, but a bit antiquated. The carpet had spots where the pad was worn or removed. The towels, while especially welcomed for use, were a bit on the low end for quality. That's really the only two negatives I have.

Great location, quiet neighborhood
I could go on forever about this great property. Great location to visit the Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park, various caves, and Sturgis. House was big enough to give my adult children their own private space. Very quiet neighborhood yet close to grocery store, Walmart, restaurants and mini golf (usually within 8-15 min). Lake in the neighborhood for fishing, paddle boats, also a walking trail.

Great rental house
This was a fantastic spot for our family to stay during our visit to the Black Hills. We had our kids plus other extended family which worked out great with the 4 bedrooms. The house was in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to many places. Check in and out was super easy, and the property management was very friendly and helpful. It was probably the cleanest VRBO I've ever stayed in too. I would definitely recommend this spot!

Perfect House - Perfect Location!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cougar lodge. The Check-in process was quick and easy. The house is spacious, very clean and well equipped - it was nice to have a garage to use as well. The neighborhood was quiet - we sat on the porch and deck at night enjoying the fresh air. It is right by Lake Park which is a great place for walking, riding bikes or just fresh air recreation. It is the perfect location for day trips out to the many sites in the area (Mt. Rushmore, Black Hills, Badlands, Custer State Park, etc). Thank you for making our 2021 vacation a memorable one.

Cougar lodge
didn't have a chance to talk to owners before i left cause we left at 7am to catch a flight. upstairs shower drained very slow, yuk. master bedroom shower stall was a tight squeeze and I'm an average guy my girl is also average size. there was water damage in the master bedroom closest ceiling as well as in the bathroom ceiling. could have used a chair to sit on and an extra shelf or some type of small table by electrical outlets for plug in devices in all bedrooms. wooden cooking spoons/spatulas for cooking would have been nice. I didn't like the fact that we were responsible for cleaning the dishes and silverware and pots and pans and oven, since WE DID PAY a hefty cleaning deposit to began with. and also had to put the trash container out on the street before leaving. aside from that, it was a nice big house. and it was good that it had 3 bathrooms,.
