Firesteel Creek Lodge is a 5-star premier wingshooting resort in south-central South Dakota…read more Family-owned and operated by the Lindskov Family; third-generation Mark Lindskov is the General Manager. $$$$ price and value -- expensive, but worth every dollar. The Lindskov ranchland holdings are vast, though the hunting is confined to certain acreage with designated crops cultivated to support the upland game hunting. Wild pheasant, sharptail grouse, and Hungarian partridge are the wingshooter's forray. Plenty of shooting. Plenty. Currently, it's 5 birds per day; 15 birds per trip is included in the standard package; any shooting over this has the usual overage charge. Taken birds are cleaned, vacuum-wrapped, and frozen for the trip home. For me (a 3-season veteran) the BEST part of Firesteel Creek Lodge is their crew of guides and their dogs. I hunt all over America and down in Argentina. I consider the professional guides and dogs of Firesteel Creek Lodge to be the "Top of the Heap" -- the very best. Why? -- First, the guides are keenly concerned with guest safety, and if you've hunted for a number of years, you know that shotgun hunting accidents can happen. This crew ensures that risks are kept at a minimium, and that everyone goes home safe and sound. Second, the dogs are energetic and disciplined -- they hold and let you shoot; they don't chase after the arisen birds and block your shots. Not all wingshooting resorts can say that. And, lastly, the guides are genuinely concerned that you have a great time hunting with them; they work hard for your satisfaction. A great guide crew. Maybe America's Best. The accommodations are upscale and terrific. The meals are home-cooked "man food" and plenty of it -- yuummm (thanks to the kitchen skills of Les and Marcia Lindskov, the CEOs -- where else in America does a shooting resort owner cook your breakfasts?). After dinner, join Les and your fellow hunters and guides downstairs in the Lodge Room for a drink (or two) and some conversation. And, if you want to smoke a cigar or your favorite pipe (like me), there's the comfortable little gazebo smoking house connected to the downstairs Lodge Room for us smoker-yarn spinners -- call us raconteurs, if you will. I like this hunting resort a lot. I think you will, too. -- El Cazador from SoCal

Wonderful motel! Very clean. Large rooms. Cold AC. Hot showers…read more We stayed here 6 nights in August with a group of friends and we were all pleased with this adorable family friendly place! Right in the center of a teeny tiny town, walking distance to cafe, bar, post office (were talking less than one block) There is a school with a great playground in front, and an rv park that has 3or4 hookups and a playground just around the corner. If we are ever back in SD we will stay here again

Was saddened to see what I saw. There's no saving this building. But it started with me a quest to find out what happened here and what has become of the family who owned it, I was friends with one of the kids for a while. I'll give it a 5 for what it was in its prime and that it was a part in an old chapter for me.

Some of the critics are perhaps comparing it to a big hotel chains. It reminds me of people going to other countries and complaining that they don't get the same service they are used to in the U.S. I think the idea was genius and admire the ambition and perseverance of making it happen and creating such a unique hotel. I love it!

A cool nights rest on our journey through North Dakota…read more There's not a lot of staff, so no one was at the front desk to check us in. Instead, we had a phone number to call and have someone stop by the front desk to get us checked in. The room is nice. There's even a little "kitchen" area. I liked the knight accents, but felt like it needed a little more. My favorite part was the gymnasium, where you could throw some basketballs around. If you are looking for food, go down the street. They shouldn't even be serving food with the quality I received. I ordered the fish basket, and I'm not sure if it was the breading or the fish, but it tasted completely of mold and I couldn't eat it. My sister had the prime rib, which was completely raw on the inside, and a lot of it was fat. Her corn was hard and cold and just gross. I don't know why we had any hope for the dessert, but we ordered the raspberry cheesecake, and it was disgusting. First, it wasn't even cold, and second, it was hard. Do not eat here. And the service is so slow. I get it, it's a small town, but two hours for a meal is way too long. All in all, the room was nice, but save your money and eat at the other restaurant down the road.
