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 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!

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.

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.

My family and I enjoyed our stay here. It was perfect for us (5 adults) it was close to the areas we wanted to visit. The beds were so comfortable and the owners had the room ready and warmed up for us, so when we arrived we were able to sleep comfortably. Loved the options for grilling or pizza oven. They also had a very nice deck with plenty of seating and fire pits. We will definitely keep this place as one of our top options when visiting SD again!

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...

A must stay if your going to the Black Hills!

We stayed for 5 nights. This has got to be one of the best places that we have ever stayed. Cary and Melissa were excellent hosts. Kind. Greeted us every time we saw them. Made sure to make us feel welcome and made sure if we needed anything they’d get it. Room was immaculate. Very clean. Had a few dishes and silverware. There is a grill and pizza oven on the huge front porch/deck that you can use. Lots of seating and covered area to sit out and enjoy. Close to Hill City. They also sell bags of ice for your cooler. That was a plus. We didn’t have to find a gas station. Plenty of parking. And their dog is adorable too!

Great Motel

Great motel that felt like a hotel in the room! Big, soft towels, great mattresses on the beds, friendly, helpful owners. Loved the location as well! Not necessarily negatives but nice to know, the breakfast is very light (donuts, toast, yogurt, coffee and juice), and grab and go. Other thing to know is that the owners are very friendly but not always around. We arrived later in evening and they had called and told us our room number and just to go in when we arrived. Worked out fine, but just a thing to know. Would definitely stay here again!

The Mountain View is a great place to stay if you are visiting the Black Hills. You have easy access to all of the attractions in the Black Hills. The owners are great. When we had questions, they emailed back the same day. At breakfast they were happy chat with us. The place has great character. We stayed in a single room, not the cabins. There were two very comfortable queen sized beds and one single which was more than enough for our family of four. The inside of the rooms had one wall with wood paneling and bathroom door, trim and towel rack were all wood, very typical of SD. The towels were not the typical hotel ones, more like what we have at home. The room was impeccably clean and decorated well. From the porch you can see the blacks hills well. While the place on a main road, once inside the room, you can’t hear any of the cars.The included breakfast was sufficient. For a place on the small side, I felt the selection of food to be fine. One morning they had fresh biscuits out of the oven which were great. The pool was on the cold side but they had pool toys for my kids to play with and pool towels. In my conversations with the owners who recently took ownership, they have plans to make improvements. If you want a plain boring place to stay go with the chains, if you want a place with character, go with Mountain View

Highly recommend!

The only down fall was it was right on the highway. It was okay though. It's is very centrally located, which was great! The rooms were very homey. Outside of your room you had a table in two chairs. On the upper floor there was a huge balcony with an electric fire, two brand new grills to grill on, and a lot of outdoor furniture for everybody to gather at.overall all I would give it a 9!!

We had a top room and a downstairs room. It was small but beautiful. Reasonably price for the time we went (4th of July). Staff is two people but very efficient and kind. The location was great for us, a lot to do close by.

Hill City Visit

Great hotel. Locally owned and cared for and it shows. The favorite stop on our trip. Owners were really nice and helpful (e.g., Alpine Inn for dinner/dessert). Very comfortable beds and clean room. Breakfast is a nice touch and really appreciated they offer a locally brewed coffee. While it is right off the road, wasn't an issue for us. Pretty quiet. Perhaps time of year.

We were very pleased with the property and the staff; my kids had a great time in the pool, the breakfast was a nice tough, and everything we needed was there. The highway was very busy and loud, though. In addition, the other occupants were obnoxious and would sit outside on the patio drinking, smoking and talking very loudly all day and night. It was really hard to relax with the constant noise and impossible to enjoy the patio with people smoking all the time. Since the beds were so comfortable, everyone slept great anyway! Both noise factors could be due to the time of year; there were a lot of tourists and especially motorcycles in the area.

Great place. Friendly staff. Super cute decor. Some of the construction looks like corners were cut or diy but did not affect our stay at all. Pool is super tiny but good to play in. I like the outdoor seating. Location is good though Hill City closes early. I have one real complaint. I think our AC had mold inside the vents. Overall the stay was great.

Beautiful view of the black hills from the room. They have family games to be played as well as a fire pit for story telling or smores. Excellent place to stay near Hill City and lots of attractions. Highly recommend this hotel.

Fantastic! Spotless, amazingly comfortable beds & linens. We stayed an extra night just because it was so great. Tons of little details that make it great while on an extended road trip. The owners are wonderful and it's immediately obvious that they care about their guests. This was by far our favorite place to stay and we've been on the road for a month.

If one word could describe this place if would be, quaint. It is a small cabin room, but quite cozy. If you’re looking to get away from the norm of regular type hotels, this is the lodge to stay in.

Cute and convenient

All of the staff were very nice and worked their tails off to keep the place in tip top shape. The beds are very comfortable and the linen is excellent. Small heated pool is a bonus.

The convenient location made it easy to get to various destinations. The one small downside to the location is the front doors to your room and deck face Highway 16; so it is a little noisy when trying to relax on the deck. But we couldn’t hear the noise while in our room.

This place definitely has its good and bad. The shower was very small. The air conditioner is a little bit loud but I like it for background noise and it works great. I liked the microwave and fridge in the room. Theres a highway right next to the lodge i didn't really have a problem with it being too loud. They do have a pool but just know its very small. I was frustrated checking in and out i had to track down the person working. Internet is spotty but come on what do you expect. The things i really like about this property is they have grills, firepits, small playground, and games. The deck has plenty of chairs and tables. I also think the location is good. A couple of big lakes close. Custer park is about 25 min. Mount Rushmore is about the same. Reasonably priced i think.
