Rieger Creek Lodge South Dakota

Lodging

A Lodge Worth Coming Back To

The Rieger Creek Den started as a small wooden granary on the creek. Steve and Christine eventually bought the old Star Theater in downtown Selby, a 1950s movie house that sat empty for years, and turned it into something nobody expected. Original brick walls, a ceiling structure that stopped people in their tracks, and a vibe that's more speakeasy than showroom.

The result is a 10,000 square foot lodge with a real past. Comfortable, upscale, and genuinely welcoming -- exceptional meals, a full bar, a fenced courtyard with a fire pit, and relaxed spaces built for unwinding after a long day in the field. Big enough for a group of 25+, cozy enough that it actually feels like somewhere you want to be.

The Lodge Is Yours

Private By Design

Multiple gathering spaces, two bars, courtyards, and dedicated wings mean your group always has room to spread out and be on your own, regardless of group size.

For groups of 14 or more, the entire lodge is exclusively yours. No other guests, no shared spaces, no compromises.

Capacity: 25+ guests

  • Full-service kitchen and dining
  • Stocked bar
  • 24-hour fitness center
  • Complimentary golf access with carts and clubs
  • Dog-friendly throughout
High-End Casual

Rooms Worth Talking About

Rest Well. Hunt Better.

Every room at Rieger Creek is appointed the way Christine would want to stay herself. High-end but casual. Thoughtful details, comfortable beds, everything you need and nothing that feels like a chain hotel.

Eight rooms built for comfort after a long day in the field. A mix of double occupancy and king rooms, each with a private bathroom and walk-in shower. Access to a full kitchen, living room with gas fireplace, and a coffee bar.

Single occupancy rooms with a more private feel. En-suite bathroom, quality furnishings, flat screen TV, and access to a dedicated common area with dining space.

A private three-bedroom home right out the back door of the main lodge. Full kitchen, living room, firepit patio, laundry, and its own front door. Close enough to be part of the action, private enough to feel like your own place.

Where it all started. Three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms on Rieger Creek itself, minutes from the main lodge. High-end furnishings, real history, and views that are hard to put into words. The most immersive way to experience the property.

Food & Meals

Eat Like You Mean It.

Every morning starts with a full breakfast, lunch goes out to the field with you, and supper is a more elevated experience. We're talking prime rib. We cook with local ingredients when we can, including things grown right on the farm.

Chokecherries, plums, South Dakota-sourced products. It's part of staying connected to where we are and what makes this place different.

Dogs Sleep Inside Too

Dogs Welcome

Bring Your Dog.

A lot of people feel like dogs are part of the family, so we treat them that way. Dogs are welcome inside the lodge at night. Some guests let theirs sleep in the room with them. We also have kennels for those who prefer it.

Your dog hunts with your guide during the day and stays close at night.

The Town. Selby After Dark.

The lodge sits on Main Street in Selby. During the day you're out in the countryside. At the end of the day you're in a small South Dakota town. You get a little of both, which is something most lodges can't offer. It's a big part of why groups keep coming back.

FAQs

The Rieger Creek Den is a 7,000 square foot lodge built inside what was once the old Star Theater in downtown Selby, a 1950s movie house that sat empty for years. When they expanded into the building next door, they found original brick walls and ceiling structure that became the centerpiece of the whole space. It started as a wooden granary on the creek. Today, it's one of the most distinctive lodge settings in South Dakota.

Over 25 guests across several lodging options, including The Theatre Wing, The Prairie Suites, The Station, and The Granary. Whether you're a group of two or a full corporate party of 25+, we have the space and the setup to make it work.
