I don't want to complain TOO much because a friend covered my stay here, but this was far less than what I expected or hoped. When I arrived and entered, there was a guest who told me that the owners/operators were gone for the weekend and our names were on the doors to our rooms. I never did see them in the two nights I was there. After a LONG day of driving and an early start for the next day, I was in bed by 9. At about 10 pm, a family arrived and apparent made themselves right at home with the kids running and yelling up and down the hall. These are not sound-proof rooms and light from the hall lights came in around the door jamb. I finally had to remind the family that it was after ten. The place advertises that it serves breakfast, but the owner wasn't there and nothing was left for guests to prepare their own breakfast (unless you wanted beer). Another guest said she had gone to town to get food and graciously made biscuits and gravy (although she made the gravy with sausage and mushroom soup, which was not good). The same loudness was repeated by adults in the living room/dining room the next night, so I retreated to my room. The next morning, I came out to a guest doing pushups right in the middle of the limited space between the living and dining room. There were only two twin beds in the room - no desk, chair, night stand or lamp next to the bed, with only a power strip on the floor to charge your devices. There was only a ceiling light/fan with a wall switch, so you had to walk to and from your bed in the dark. I suppose this would be a great place if you had a bunch of guys for a hunting or fishing trip, or maybe a family reunion, i.e. a group of people whom you already know relatively well. But for a guy who just wanted a quiet place in the country with relative privacy, I didn't get it. read more

You are treated like royalty at Hidden Hill Lodge. The owners are amazing hosts, the guides are very knowledgeable, but the dogs will always steal the show. You will not regret one min of you stay or hunt at Hidden Hill Lodge read more

Gorgeous lodge in a beautiful setting and surrounded by great fishing lakes. This was my second trip there and I'll be going back again. Carla and Lorrie are just awesome hosts. We caught dozens of walleyes a day and never fished the same lake twice. read more

If you are looking for a peaceful, beautiful, and fun place to stay then Hidden Hill is the place! We had our entire wedding party stay at the Lodge for a few days & it was absolutely perfect. All of our friends were blown away by the view from the deck especially in the evening when the sun was setting. Not only is the landscape gorgeous but there is something for everyone. We had a blast sitting by the camp fire, roasting marshmallows, fishing, hanging out in the hot tub, going on walks, and playing pool, darts, and cards in the game room! The Sandersons are the best hosts that you could ask for & we are so thankful our wedding party was able to have such a great experience in South Dakota! I would recommended Hidden Hill to anyone and everyone but the only problem is...you will never want to leave!!! read more

Geese, ducks, hot tub, drinks, food repeat. We had an outstanding time and the Sandersons were wonderfull hosts. From successful guided waterfowl hunts to five star meals we were treated like kings. Accommadations are exceptional for this remote gem. Saturday afternoon football on the big screen backed up by an outragious hors de'oeuvre bar made it pretty easy to unwind in my oversized leather chair with a cocktail. I would recommend Hidden Hill to the boy's or the family. read more

What an amazing place!! Myself and 8 buddies were looking for a weekend getaway to relax and do some waterfowl hunting. HHL not only provided exactly what we were looking for, it far exceeded any of our expectations!! We showed up to a warm welcome that made us feel right at home and instantly knew we were at a one of a kind place! The Sanderson's were very accommodating and easy to sit down and visit with. Carla & Liz treated us to some AMAZING hors d'oeuvres followed by a steak that was the best most of us had ever eaten. We topped off the first evening with some cocktails and a few games of cards and billiards. Saturday morning we got up early to hit the fields and they already had coffee and a warm breakfast waiting for us. I swear the HHL staff never slept. The guides (Lorrie & Len) had everything set up for us and put us on some great spots. It was very cold that day and after spending the morning in the field, the lodges big hot tub and a warm bowl of chili was a treat to say the least. We filled out the remainder of the day watching football, shooting numerous boxes of clay pigeons, several hundred rounds of pistol and rifle ammo, and some more evening hunting. Although we were positive Friday evenings meal was unbeatable, we were proven wrong when we were treated to a 5-star prime rib dinner Saturday night. The food at HHL is absolutely exceptional! The night extended in to the early morning hours as we lounged in the game room with some beverages and great conversation. Sunday morning was filled with more good duck and goose hunting. It was definitely difficult to leave after getting treated like kings all weekend. I could write pages of how great this place is, but trust me, you want to check out Hidden Hill Lodge and experience it yourself!! Thanks again to the Sanderson's. We will be returning more than once (with more friends that can't wait to come after hearing how great it was)! read more
