Excellent location close to everything we wanted to do, and the owners were great. The room was clean but very small, and the shower was the size of a camper shower. The deck was nice with a fire table and plenty of seating, but having rooms right off the deck area made us feel we couldn’t stay out there very late as we didn’t want to bother anyone. Overall the place was great though and I would stay there again.

We are so happy that we booked our stay in the Black Hills at Mountain View Lodge and Cabins. The owners are very hospitable and really make you feel at home personally and with the amenities they offer. The hotel is centrally located for many of the attractions. The grill was great to use and have a homemade meal after being on the road for a week. If we make it back to this area we will definitely stay here again.

I really like the location of the property, down the street from Hill city so a little bit out of the congestion. We felt very safe and never had to worry about parking. Nice patio area to hang out on or even cook on the grill. Rooms were basic but very clean and comfy beds. Owners were very sweet and helpful with questions. Light breakfast was perfect, fresh and enough to get you going. Also, a little family run ice creme/ burgers type place across to street that you can walk to. Great location to hit all the spots in your list.

Wonderful, welcoming lodge owners. Very comfortable, and nicely decorated room. Great location for visiting Black Hills, Custer State Park, and all the best sights. The owners helped us with directions and restaurants. A bit of road noise, but the conversations made you forget it. They are improving the lodge & cabins every year.

We were on a family road trip and loved our stay here. It was centrally located to everything from Crazy Horse to Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park. Melissa and Cary were great hosts. They understood we would be late and put me at ease about checking in late. Our room was beautiful and the beds!!! Omg!!! So comfortable!! We loved catching up with them at breakfast too. They take great care to make sure you are enjoying your stay. It was perfect for my family. I would definitely recommend staying here on your next trip to the Black Hills.

Nice Black Hills Lodge

We were late season for the Black Hills, and our first visit to the area. The Lodge is well located in the center of both the southern loops and the northern areas. The lodge is operated by the owners, and it is clear that they are pouring their hearts into caring for the place and for their guests. We had the King room, #11, and can't comment on any other spaces. The room was VERY clean. All the surfaces felt tended to, clean, fit well...carpet felt newish...Nice. The bed was very comfortable. Decorations were all matching, nice quality, chairs, throw pillows, bed pillows, bed quilt... Bathroom was a bit funny, and the toilet space was tight (I am 5'11, 200#), and the shower was a bit tight as well. That said, it is probably the era of construction, and not a criticism of the current owners or intent. The room was not large, the balcony listed in the promo turned out to be the walkway up with a couple chairs on it. The lodge is on the highway, and there was a lot of road noise that was only somewhat mitigated with closed door. Could have used a bit of hanging clothes space. We were there three nights, and worked out of our suitecases. A bit more counter/table space would help, and could be accommodated, I believe. Provided breakfast was packaged, sugary rolls, and coffee - and there weren't many choices nearby, so we bought granola and bananas for breakfast, but no real place to work with them. Overall, a 5 for care, 4 for details...

We had a wonderful stay at this lodge! It was absolutely adorable, exceptionally clean, and incredibly comfortable. From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality and welcoming nature. They went above and beyond by sharing great recommendations for local attractions, restaurants, and things to do in the area, which made our trip even more enjoyable. One of the nicest surprises was the fresh coffee and delicious donuts each morning—a thoughtful touch that was so appreciated and started our days perfectly. If you’re looking for a cozy, spotless place to stay with outstanding hosts who truly care about their guests, we highly recommend this lodge. We would happily stay here again!
