Granite springs lodge I truly can not recommend granite springs lodge enough!!! Weddings can be very stressful but they made my day so stress free. When I tell you this was the most friendly, accommodating and chill staff ever I mean it. They truly made my wedding day so special and each made it a point to reach out and tell me how beautiful it was. The property is AMAZING and so well kept. Thank you GSL and staff for making our day unforgettable

The best venue! From our initial visit all the way through our incredible wedding reception, Granite Springs Lodge was absolutely amazing! The venue is incredibly beautiful, and the entire team was so accommodating, helpful, and welcoming throughout the whole process. Haley was especially supportive and appreciated throughout the entire process. The lodging was wonderful as well, and we were thankful to have room for so many family members and friends to stay close by. We greatly appreciated having access to the commercial kitchen, which allowed us to prepare and serve our own meals. The updated bridal suite was cozy and beautiful—a perfect place to get ready on the big day. The game room was also great and gave us the perfect space to have some fun the night before and while the men were getting ready. We were also so thankful for the shuttle to Mitchell during the reception. It was such a convenience for our guests and made the entire experience that much easier. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding. Granite Springs Lodge helped make our wedding weekend incredibly special and memorable, and we are so grateful for everything they did to make our day so wonderful. We highly recommend Granite Springs to anyone looking for a beautiful, accommodating, and truly special wedding venue!

Visited for a birthday party and a wedding.Very nice quiet location. Beautiful scenery.Excellent for family reunions.

Beautiful place and great people to work with! We had a great experience with Granite Springs Lodge from start to finish. They were very accommodating and were great communicators. They were so helpful in setting up and flipping the event center from a ceremony set up to a reception set up for our wedding and all the staff was so kind! I would definitely recommend Granite Springs Lodge to any couple looking for their perfect wedding venue!

Absolutely Amazing!!!! Granite Springs was amazing!! We had our wedding there and it was the most perfect day!! Over the year of wedding planning, Haley was amazing to work with. She was very responsive and would respond the same day with any questions I had! They made the venue look perfect! We also got to stay on site in the cabins/villas and they were very nice, clean, and convenient. I can’t thank them enough for all that they did for us!

Our dream wedding weekend! Granite Springs was so accommodating. We loved being able to utilize the entire property to host our friends and family. Our guests loved the rooms, game room, the trails to walk on, and all the space to gather. It’s a hidden gem with amazing views for pictures. The event center is beautifully designed and helped us create the perfect atmosphere for our wedding reception. We got married in January, but definitely plan to visit again in the summer to enjoy the other amenities and reminisce our on wedding day!

South Dakota pheasant hunting has been an annual trip for the last 15 + years. We have been hunting with Granite Springs Lodge for the last 7 years and have a standing deposit for each following year.Our group of 4 has been hunting with Steve and his 3 sons-in-law during all the previous hunts and we look forward to as many future hunts with them at Granite Springs our health will allow.We all appreciate the work Kristi puts in to make our long weekend and hunt PERFECT. The lodge facility and meals are excellent.When we drive into the Granite Springs Lodge, all of the airline issues and any whether problems we may have encountered disappear as we know we will have a great meeting with friends, hunt and stay at Granite Springs Lodge.Nick Ohanesian

I was a member of Granite Springs Lodge's very first Pheasant Hunt in 2011. Since then our group (varying in size from 3 to 30) has participated every year for an early December hunt (sun or snow). It is a 4 day trip that our group looks forward to every year. Ages are 15 to 80. We are treated like family. The food and accommodations are first class and the hunts are great. We have watched them expand, refine and upgrade each year. They can handle any size group or groups. They provide excellent field guides with top grade dogs. Our group hunts internationally, but GS is #1 our pick for pheasants.Semper Fi, JimB

Great lodge for pheasant hunting. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Guides work hard to find birds.

About 16 years ago, I was looking for a way to bond with my 3 sons-in-law from the Ohio and Michigan area. We took a trip to South Dakota, and were introduced to Granite Springs for a pheasant hunt. It was a fantastic time, great people with unbelievable food and accommodations. We were so impressed that we have returned every year for the last 15. Meeting a father and his sons-in law and family from the California and Neveda area was an added bonus. We have great memories of our times hunting together for the last 7 years with them.I can't enough about how professional, and hospitable the Granite Springs Family is. I was able to take my wife and daughters, and another time 5 of our 8 grandchildren on a hunting trip that I know generated lasting memories.GREAT TIMES with GREAT PEOPLE !!Steve ZachmannFostoria, Ohio

Great place for our family reunion.

We rented the villas, main lodge, and cabins for a small family wedding of 50 (all from our of state) and it was all that we dreamed of and more. The entire staff is friendly, willing to help and accommodating. The place is well kept and all amenities are clean and provided. We will be back for family vacations, and every single one of our guests were throughly impressed. Well done GSL team!

Granite Springs was the perfect wedding venue! Family was able to stay on property. The venue was very accommodating and absolutely beautiful!

My husband and I, along with our family had rented Granite Springs Lodge, the Cottage, Villas, and Event Center for our wedding in December. The event center is beautiful and roomy. It is nice and convenient if you’re doing a wedding there because you can rent the Villas and walk right over after the dance. All the staff was GREAT, they were always happy to help and answer all our questions. I would highly recommend Granite Springs Lodge to anyone getting married near that area?

Wonderful place for a family reunion!
